Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for September 4, 2026 - I Use the Gender Neutral "Dude" Download audio

On this show, I play a song from Burden's Landing; my kid got us a table at the restaurant and it almost made me cry; the notion of "imposer syndrome" made me laugh; working on the Vito X Dino podcast led me to Devil in Detail, a Grendel comic re-read podcast; I volunteered to be a coordinator for the FediZineFest with very little forethought; those early Comico comics were some slapdash affairs; the very worst comic book you've ever read was actually printed and distributed; making a terrible thing is still making a thing which is hard work; if you don't sing you don't get to criticize anyone's karaoke performance; Jack Kirby was a great artist and an imaginative thinker but never had the courage to back himself; I am thinking to myself about the viability of going into business fulfilling crowdfunding campaigns; I have been thinking about the successes and failures of our CREATE South conference; a bickering old couple really bummed out what was already a bad takeout experience.

Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for August 28 2026 - A Major Act of Podcast Negligence Download audio

On this show, I play a song from Pillow Spiders; my child is driving to school solo; I am wistful; bees can't consent to give you honey; I am trying to face opposing opinions by asking "what of this can I agree with?"; clicking the link to Reddit is almost always a mistake; argumentative privilege is real; I will do boring work for your open source project but I will not argue for it; people who are comfortable arguing will get more of what they want; the 22nd anniversary of this podcast happened and was acknowledged but not celebrated; I am using CoMaps because Waze is good but also creepy surveillance capitalism; editing OpenStreetMaps is a thing; it makes sense to have a Discord - I have a discord - but when every show and project has one it is unwieldy; I hate YouTube clickbait thumbnails and titles so much that I think I hate YouTube.
