Coming to you this time from the actual lush and lavish studios of MWS Media, I observe the twenty-first anniversary of my first podcast, which is also more or less also the 21st anniversary of podcasting itself. In and around that milestone, two podcasting legends have retired, and another ill-conceived podcast award is announced. I have thoughts.

Also, an update on my own creative life, including my new website, a hopefully fresh approach to selling stuff on it, and anxiety around creating fiction.

This episode was recorded on October 14, 2025.
