Personal Landscapes podcast has moved

I hate ads. I hate listening to them when I listen to podcasts, and I don’t want to inflict them on you, either.

I want to keep my conversations with the world’s most interesting writers both free — no paywalls — and ad-free, so I’ve moved Personal Landscapes to Substack. 

New episodes will be emailed to subscribers automatically, so please sign up to the free tier on my new Substack to stay informed. 

The other thing I like about Substack is that I can schedule episodes to publish automatically. Previously, publishing a new episode meant logging in to three different platforms, copying and pasting code, etc. If it all works as it should, I’ll be able to set episodes to publish while I’m off in the wilderness hiking this summer. I’m reading and recording frantically to cover that month and a half gap.

I’ve also launched a Member’s Club as a way to cover the costs of the show. You can join for what it would cost to buy a fancy coffee once a month. 

You’ll get cool Member-only bonus material for book lovers, including:

• reading lists from my guests
• book reviews 
• bonus videos 
• a quarterly Q&A with me  
• …and more

New episodes of Personal Landscapes will still go out to iTunes and the usual places, but I’m not going to post the show notes here anymore. You’ll find the show notes and extras by clicking the Podcast link in the menu bar above.

Episodes will continue to be free — for now. I may have to rethink that down the road if I can’t get enough Member’s Club subscribers, but I’ll try this method for a year and see how it goes. 

I can’t keep paying all the costs from my savings and doing the sort of work it takes to keep it all running. It’s like having an unpaid part time job in addition to trying to scrape a living from writing. 

Please consider supporting my work by joining the new Personal Landscapes Member’s Club.
