As promised, we are back with another new episode. Last week, I said that first episode out was pretty rough, which it was. Only confirming that because I hate to disappoint. “Copilot Has Left the Plane” is a great improvement, if I do say so myself. I worked more on transitions between sections and stories. That was one of the biggest issues I could see, aside from the narration.
Starting to pick four headlines for the week, that seems about right. Choosing three top stories feels like the optimum amount. Looking at it from the preparation side, it was enough to keep me interested and not overwhelmed.
Another thing I mentioned quickly in the beginning of the episode, it is my birthday week. As usual, I don’t really have any money to do anything. Not just anything good or special. Like anything at all. It is something I have gotten used to over the last few years. Not to mention, many of my so-called “closest friends” never seem to remember.
If you would like to help me change that, you can donate to the birthday fund. If you do choose to help, you can write in birthday fund. I’ll give you a shoutout on the next episode, as well as in The Gen X Construct opening. Which is available on your podcast app of choice. I know we are still running out donation drive for our bills, so anything helps.
