A bit of personal news.
My podcast has somehow changed from "five listeners, three of whom are my mom" to a real podcast. Someone showed it to the good people at Public Square Magazine, and they've asked to partner with me. That's pretty exciting for someone who is a total amateur. I'm honored and excited to work with people who have become my genuine friends.
I don't know what I'm doing, still. I have no idea how to podcast, and I'll probably get some things wrong. But the paradox of civility is that decent people hold back, and keep quiet because they don't want to say anything wrong. This leaves the world in a worse place. I'm not perfect--I'm not even sure I'm all that good. But I'm trying, and that's something.
Also, we're now launching a Patreon page. We're aiming to begin building a community of supporters who believe in the cause of civility. If you believe in what we're doing, your support would be most welcome. (Especially for Nick, who is really really hoping that we get some supporters so I can keep him on the job!)
