PodMov put my & my friends' safety at risk by allowing non-badgeholders to enter the con with cameras looking for us, let even more of us be harassed by fascists online for weeks, apologized to Ben Shapiro (and STILL partners with his company), and never addressed it! Don't go!

Just a reminder that some of us are still boycotting #PodcastMovement because of their poor treatment of minority fiction podcast creators.

I picked up a phone call just now, no one was there, my computer got a weird error message immediately after, and for exactly 15 seconds... I wondered if I've been in the Matrix and things were about to get real.

"Social Media should drive interest in your content" is untrue. "Short-form has become the content" shifting the goal from marketing your content to overall brand recognition. If feels like unless you invest 20+ hrs/week, social media is no longer a marketing strategy, it's the end-goal career.

Actual Play Purists: Follow up Q. If everyone in a very serious scene is trying very hard not to laugh, and saying very serious things. Is it still a "real actual play" if the scene is re-recorded "word-for-word" but just where everyone isn't laughing?
