Same here. I teach my kids to be full of kindness and empathy, as you never know what someone else is going through.
But I'm at my end with anti-vaxxers and selfish idiots who'd rather see people die in pain and alone, than take some personal responsibility.
If you want to see what idiotic ignorance looks like, take a look at the hashtags

doesn't speak for the majority of Ontarians, and we're embarrassed that we have an uncouth bully as our Premier.
Cleaning out my podcast app for shows I'm subscribed to - sad to see how many stopped publishing in the last 12-24 months. Very few had a "proper" last episode to share why, so guessing life just got in the way.
A reminder that podcasting isn't easy, and takes a lot of work.
@CTVToronto
Make them prove they have a condition that stops them wearing a mask. Otherwise, they can shut up and stop being selfish attention-seekers.

Agreed. We can't have another 4 years of this BS. In the meantime, we need to look out for each other and support our educators and frontline workers.

Sadly, probably never. While Trump won't be around forever, the hate and ignorance he's given permission to openly display won't be going anywhere soon.
What was the game that blew you away, and completely changed your mind on what you thought was possible?

Fellow podcasters - practice removing "hello guys" or "hello everyone" from your intro. While it feels natural to say, switch to the mindset of talking to one person, because we're generally just speaking into one person's ear.
"Hello guys" becomes "hello again".
#podcasting
Dear podcasters - if "experts" are telling you you need a mic like the SM7B to sound "good".
There's a reason every single participant in The Voice and other talent shows use the Shure SM58 - it is actually that good. And it's less than $100 - result. 👍

@CanadianTire
Yeah, sadly I was going to say, Canadian Tire has always been one of the absolute worst when it comes to masking. No matter which one I visit, it's always been bad. I've seen employees wearing masks around their elbows, under their chins etc, even when mandates were in place. 🤷♂️
Ok, folks, let's see who still wears a mask and will continue to do so until either a vaccine is found, or our immune systems can combat Covid-19. Share a pic of you in your mask if you're trying to protect each other.

So many of the replies to this post show exactly the kind of hate and vitriol that was pushed. I wonder how many gladly took advantage of CERB, though, while at the same time spewing hate...
Listeners: Wish podcasts didn't have ads in them.
Podcaster: Well, I have an ad-free premium version.
Listeners: I'm not paying to support my favourite podcast and the creative work that goes into it. It should be free! I'm off to watch Netflix.

Awful decision. We've continued to pander to the 10%, all thanks to
@fordnation
and Moore, and now we're telling Ontarians it's okay to get sick and die.
Joining my daughter with an ear infection in the "at-home infirmary" is my son, who had to get two teeth pulled unexpectedly today to allow the adult ones behind them to grow out properly.
Send scotch. 🥃 😂
OK, I'll be the first to say downloads are less a part of a show's success than other metrics - but they are the starting point for everything else.
Thanks to everyone who's listened, shared, reviewed, etc, for getting the show to this milestone today. 🎤🎧❤️

Woot, so this arrived today. Brand new in box, got it for $315 CAD / $245 USD / £198 GBP. After a quick test, I can see why so many recommend it, it was just a wee bit beyond my budget until now. :)

Do they have stats for non high school kids? My son is 10 and his mental health is shot to pieces. He cries every day, he doesn't sleep well, he hates his life because he feels like a failure at school with the ridiculous online learning "plan".
Podcasting is much more than large networks, media/production agencies, and teams with large budgets.
Indie podcasters are often leading the way when it comes to innovation, quality, and defining what success looks like.
Keep doing what you're doing, indie podcasters. 🎤🎧😎
Received a pitch from a potential guest for my Podcaster Stories show. I checked them out, didn't see a podcast on their site, and asked them if they were a current podcaster.
"No - is that a requirement?"
It only mentions it on my Be A Guest page and the show title itself...
Mini brag moment. 😎
Made my revenue goals for 2022, through a mix of sponsors, premium subscribers, and merch - first year I've ever done this (also only just started selling merch this year).
Thanks to every supporter who helped me in these goals! 🙌
#podcasting
Don't be the podcaster who poo poos one format over the other. If you prefer audio, sweet. If you prefer video, just as sweet.
We're all creators - we should be supporting each other, not putting each other down.
There's enough people that will do that without us helping them.
Podcasting isn't a Kevin Costner movie. "They" won't come just because you publish.
You have to let people know about your podcast. All the time.

"Frustrating"? That's the best you've got? Music tracks skipping on an iPod is frustrating. 8o's video game difficulty levels are frustrating. Missing the last bus is frustrating. Hate crimes aren't even on the same base starting level...
@breakfasttv
Why don't you ask what the provincial Premiers should do, given it's their remit and they've either wasted or underspent previous Federal funding?
Two weeks since I received my second shot. Anti-bodies are officially a go. But I'll continue to wear a mask and distance to help protect those that aren't vaccinated (through no choice of their own), or can't be yet.

tweeters. Michael McCain is spot on with this thread. There'd be no anti aircraft missile going up if the Orange Dictator hadn't unlawfully assassinated Soleimani. There's a reason there are checks and balances in place.
I’m Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry. A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and family this week to a needless, irresponsible series of events in Iran...
Tip: create a
@Podchaser
account. Then create a list of your favourite podcasts/podcasters.
Now when anyone asks for recommendations, share that list. There's bound to be something on there for everyone.
Plus, you're also giving love to your fav shows/creators.
