The DIY Endeavors Podcast Number 078 — Not For Everyone
I have pretty strong feelings about the relationship between creator and consumer. Those feelings are almost always positive.
In this episode: a reminder for creators and consumers alike on everyone’s responsibility, and where that responsibility ends. Hint: it has to do with bad behavior.

The idea of a weekly creative focus comes from my creative plan for 2015.
Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: How It All Got Started is my free new adult serial.
Aeon Timeline.
The Kickstarter campaign for a sequel to Princess of Thorns from young adult author Stacey Jay, her announcement of its cancellation, and her defiant counter-attack on her detractors.
Gamergate.
Someone hearing this episode will want to mention Neil Gaiman’s very correct assertion that “George R. R. Martin Is Not Your Bitch.” So there you go.
Turns out the phrase is “Don’t let the bastards grind you down,” and while I first read it in Margaret Atwood’s masterwork The Handmaid’s Tale, it’s much older.
The creed of John Custer, as told to his son Jesse, (and adopted by yours truly), written by Garth Ennis, and found in the incomparable Preacher , is: “Don’t take no shit off fools. Judge a person by what’s in ‘em, not how they look. An’ you do the right thing. Be one of the good guys. ‘Cause there’s way too many of the bad.”

This episode was once again recorded and produced in the lush and lavish studios of MWS Media in Long Beach, California. As is my wont, I used my beloved thirty year old Shure SM58 plugged into a Zoom R16 digital multitrack recorder.
Raw audio was edited in Sony Sound Forge Pro with finished touches applied in Hindenburg Journalist.
This episode took about three and a half hours to record, produce, write the show notes, and distribute for a cost of $262.50, a figure that represents what I would have earned doing freelance work for clients for the same amount of time, and provides an approximate and somewhat arbitrary measure of the value of this show… or, perhaps, its cost to me! If you’d like to offset that cost for as little as one dollar every month (more if you can afford it!) consider becoming a patron of the show, with my grateful thanks!
