The second time is the charm! We had our wires crossed on Tuesday, so John Fugelsang did not join us then. But he is here today. We have much to catch up on since the last time we spoke. He jumps in for the second half hour of the show.
To get us started though, a bit of an update. I was out yesterday for a medical test. It seems that as we get older, our bodies don’t work as well as they used to. So I’m trying to figure out what’s going on… As if that and all of the angst and depression that goes along with the shitstorm that’s raging thanks to the mess that’s taken over the government these days, it seems that I’m having to battle for survival on every front.
If you usually listen to this show via the podcast, chances are you’ve had some trouble with that today. That’s because Spotify, for some reason, deactivated my account yesterday. It’s completely gone! They sent an email telling me I violated some policy, but there was no explanation of what I did. There was no warning that if I didn’t fix something, my account would be deleted. They just deleted it.
While I’m dealing with the hell of trying to get back my rss feed that contains 15 YEARS of my work, I’m trying to start a new podcast through substack where I’ve been posting my shows for the past few months already. You may have to subscribe there. To be honest, I’m not really sure how it works, but I’m working on getting it up and running again and will obviously have multiple hoops to jump through over the coming days and weeks. Hopefully not longer than that…
So please subscribe at nicolesandler.substack.com. As always, you can subscribe for free. But if you can afford to and appreciate my work enough to, please subscribe with a donation or recurring monthly donations to help keep me afloat. I’ll never put this show behind a paywall, but your monetary support is what allows me to continue. So thank you for listening and for whatever support you can offer.
I’ll be back tomorrow for our Emptywheel Friday show with Marcy Wheeler to wrap up the shit show that was this week. Thanks for bearing with me!
