The Wednesday Audio

I hate it when YouTube videos do that thing. You know, that thing.

“Hi guys, I’m sorry I’ve been absent for a while, but I’m back with a new video now about the moon landings or whatever”

Be absent with pride. Be away with pride. Don’t apologise for it. And if you really want to apologise for it…insincerely apologise.

So on that vein, I’ve been away for a while for no particular reason other than I haven’t been arsed to record a podcast for you to ignore.

So behold: Episode 108 of The Wednesday Audio for your ignorance.

The Wednesday Audio needs your email address to send these podcast episodes direct to your inbox so you can ignore them there too.

Perhaps you thought it’d gone away.

Perhaps you were thankful that you’d finally been removed of the burden of listening.

Perhaps—on some deep and meaningful level—you were missing the pudcast.

Perhaps it was all of the above.

Perhaps it wasn’t any of them at all.

Perhaps.

You know how Netflix do that really annoying thing where they span a 45-minute story out into a six-part documentary series? Where there’s just absolutely no substance to the story, but they somehow manage to keep it dragging its heels, kicking and screaming, scraping its fingernails along the floor, begging it to stop, for six whole parts?

Don’t you just find it really annoying? Don’t you just think that if something should be 36-minutes long, they should just make it 36 minutes, and not try to span it out into a six part series?

Yeah, I agree. They shouldn’t do that. Six part series are a cheap way to generate fake FOMO and false engagement.

Nobody should ever do that.
