Podcast: 60 Seconds of WIP

In Sixty Seconds of WIP, I read sixty seconds of a work in progress, freshly spewed from my brain, raw and unedited. One minute. No more.

Maybe a second or two more. I finish the sentence.

I spend a few seconds introducing it, read my piece, and let you get on with your life. It’s done in a single take, without postprocessing or intro music or anything, because any of that would be actual work and require learning and I’m all nope at any of that.

It’s integrated into my blog, or you can subscribe via the podcast-only RSS feed, or catch my announcement on the fediverse/Mastodon. Or there’s an archive below. Or, for you folks who like aggregators there’s Apple and Spotify.
