Lovely friends

I have yet to get my podcast off the ground. In fact, last week I laid out a bunch of reasons why I may want to delay launch for a month or two. 

And in the meantime, I've been getting the most lovely support from my friends, and I'm immensely grateful. 

One encouraged me to have a Patreon to help support the podcast. Another (who works in radio) offered to tweet about it to his thousands of Twitter followers. And another couple have commented that I have a voice and accent made for radio. (Very kind of them, to be sure.)

Most recently, one young friend mentioned that he had been thinking about launching a podcast as well, but got too busy. So he's done some research and was able to offer up the very useful tip that SoundCloud is the way to go when it comes to podcast hosting. So now I have one thing I can explore and experiment with. Decision fatigue, at least on this aspect, averted. 

All of this encouragement and support couldn't have happened if I hadn't started talking about this podcast like it's a real project I plan to undertake. 

Luck favors the well-prepared, right?

Addendum 01/04: Found this great Twitter thread about podcasting so leaving this link here for any of you (and future me) who might be interested.
