Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and also wind up here.
Enjoying writing about my favorite media and books and travel and, you know, the threat of white supremacy for the Monday Media Diet today. whyisthisinteresting.substack.com/p/the-mon...

In 2020 I was unsuccessful in selling American Heel, a podcast about Trump and pro wrestling. Because of *waves hands in all directions* I recently revisited the two rough cuts I made and they're still relevant. So here, rough edges and all: dansinker.com/posts/202...

Four years ago I was unsuccessful in selling American Heel, a podcast about Trump and pro wrestling. Because of *waves hands in all directions* I recently revisited the two rough cuts I made and they're definitely still relevant. So I'm putting them out, rough edges and all.

I just listened back to a rough cut of a podcast pilot about Trump and professional wrestling I made four years ago that I couldn't sell and, while dated, it is as relevant today as it was then. Missed opportunity.
