Podcasts release schedules should be based on when people feel they have something interesting to say and not a calendar. It’s ok to skip a week. Or two.

Less is still more – Bijan Sabet

Bijan Sabet:

Yes, your users are smart. But they want to be delighted. Too many features can feel noisy. It’s like the app is screaming at you or suffering from an identify crisis. 

I don’t want to be delighted, I just want to get my work done. This infatuation with “delight” is a distraction and I’m fine with “noisy” apps. In fact I prefer them in many cases. Unless I’m playing a game, I suppose, then please do delight me.

George Saunders’ ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’: Audiobook Cast

George Saunders’ ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’: Audiobook Cast:

When it came time to record Lincoln in the Bardo, author George Saunders assembled a staggering 166 narrators— including Julianne Moore, David Sedaris, Saunders’ childhood pals, and even his agent.

I’m nearly half through the “real” version of “Lincoln in the Bardo”. If I’d have known about the audiobook I may have opted for that instead. Sounds fun.
