The Road to Year Zero #1 - Cold Open
A Subdued and Somewhat Tentative First Foray into the Spoken Medium
Appears in this episode
As promised, I am expanding my own nano-Vertically Integrated Messaging Apparatus into another medium: a podcast, or rather a series of podcasts organized under three different rubrics.
The Road to Year Zero: A micro-documentary series revisiting the great and petty episodes on the path to ideological succession from the recent and distant American past
Syllabus, for paid subscribers only, in which I will do a deep dive into an academic subject with a subject matter expert
Books Do Furnish A Mind, in which I speak with a notable or merely fascinating person about one book that exercised a formative influence on them
Year Zero episode 1 is just a wee little anecdote. It say only a little bit, but strives to do so with verve. An invitation to spend countless hours with my voice reverberating in your earbuds, and a foretaste of what that will be like.

The Road to Year Zero #1 - Cold Open
Will still be writing weekly
Dear Wesley: All the best on your new format. I'm happy to subscribe to a newsletter because I think you have interesting things to say, but I read probably 3 times faster than I listen and absorb the ideas better off the written page. So perhaps you could offer transcripts for the rest of us non-podcast folks. If not, all the best but like ProfMom below, it's not the medium for me and I can't continue to subscribe, alas.
