Interlude 2: More Episodes Soon!

TRANSCRIPT (read by Kyle Stedman, with no music or effects or anything):

Oh, hey, what's up, remember me? This is Kyle Stedman, host of the Bad Ideas about Writing podcast, and wow, it's been a while, right? This is a friendly in-between episode to let you know what's up.

The short answer is that I've been busy and that the rest of the episodes are coming soon. I mean, you probably get it: as I record this, it's December 2021, the pandemic is still raging, and teaching this last fall felt, in some ways, harder than ever. So my original thoughts of, "Oh, I'll get to that episode soon" eventually faded into "I'll get to that episode once I'm out of survival mode?" So here I am, nearly four months after the last completed episode was posted, finally rocking and rolling and planning for the future. How about that! I do feel bad if you were relying on this podcast-slash-audiobook in a time-sensitive context like a class, but otherwise, I'm trying pretty hard not to feel too bad about the delay, because after all we all need a little grace these days.

So: look for new episodes this January (or this December if I get really into it), and just don't pay too much attention to the weather updates at the end of each episode, since a couple of these were initially recorded quite a while back. Numerically, the book will be done when I record chapter 63, and chapters 1-48 are out now, on all your podcast apps. That means what, 15 more episodes? 3 or 4 months' worth? Sounds like fun, right? No big deal! And after that, that'll be it, with maybe one wrap-up reflective episode from me, or maybe not. But I'm NOT planning to keep the podcast going hardcore in some new reimagined way after I finish reading the book. If anything, I'll just find another book to read!

As always, feel free to reach out: you can find my email if you search Kyle Stedman Rockford University, and I'm on Twitter @kstedman, where I'm probably posting something about Christmas movie soundtracks or Nancy Drew or how awesome my students are. See you soon—I mean, hear you soon. I mean, you'll hear me soon . . . this is complicated, avoiding visual-based metaphors, right? How about this: peace to you and your loved ones.
