Endgame Viable Talks

For Blaugust 2024, I’m experimenting with a section for low-key audio episodes that some might consider to be something like a podcast. To start with, I’ll be amusing myself by digging out old writing from over 10 years of failed NaNoWriMo drafts and reading selected bits from them. I plan to keep the episodes pretty short. 15-20 minutes tops.
In order to listen to the audio, you’ve got a few options:
- Add https://endgameviable.com/talking/index.xml to your favorite podcactcher application. I’ve tested it with Google Music or YouTube Music or whatever they call it now.
- Look for new talky episodes in the blog’s regular RSS feed, and if you use one of the fancier RSS feed readers, it might display a button to play the audio. I’ve tested this with InoReader.
- As a last desperate measure, you can go to the page for each episode and you’ll find a button at the top of the page to play the associated audio file.
You may notice this feed lacks any of the popular conventions of most podcasts and even the most rudimentary attempts at branding or distribution. You won’t hear any jingles or bumpers or stings. You won’t find this podcast on Spotify or Amazon or Google (unless they find and put it there themselves). I’m hosting the audio files myself, and managing the feeds myself, and even adding ID3 tags to the MP3 files myself. Or at least until I run out of enthusiasm for it.
