Merry Christmas Everyone!!
It isn't easy, but I'm doing it. That is to say, I'm tackling it. That is to say, I'm attempting it. I'm deeply offended and affected by the profane and puerile censorship being employed by the self-imposed authorities through BlewitTube and the major social media companies. I do not believe that Elon Musk is pro-free speech because he is already censoring anti-war and anti-ethnic cleansing voices under the false and preposterous notion that it is violent speech to be anti-war and anti-ethnic cleansing. These are insidious times, and I'm not participating, as much as is possible, with these wholly offensive organizations.
The purpose of my morning-intended show isn't really political, other than to avoid what I call the "internet anti-freedom caucus". I'm doing something fairly innocuous, because in these wrong times we shouldn't wake up to panic and fear porn. What I'm doing is fusing weird and sometimes woo-woo concepts that are fun for thought experiments with practical application. It gives people something to ponder through the day if they'd like. Most of these are under a half-hour. There is a daily intro and a send-off. The meat of the show, not including those, is 10-20 minutes. (You have time for that, right?) We need to ease into the day so we can think through our goals and remind ourselves of who we really are in this universe and what is at stake if we fail.
Of course, when you post a podcast, it is automatically fed to some of these outlets. That's fine. If they ever realize that the contempt I have for them dwarfs the contempt that they have for the inherent human qualities of freedom and creativity, then they will remove me from their platforms. That will be a day for me to celebrate. The feeling is 1000% mutual. We don't agree with each other. Let's agree to not agree.
So what am I doing to try to propagate a business without social media?
- I'm using some of the outlets that still recognize the inherent human qualities of freedom of expression and creativity. I list them below and also in the footnotes of this blog post. I love that Publish0X has blog footnotes.
- I'm looking for more outlets that still recognize the inherent human qualities of freedom of expression and creativity.
- I'm asking nicely for people to please share my podcast anywhere they can and to also make me aware of other outlets where the Bill of Rights is recognized as the law of the land. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution, and many of us still hold that very dear, regardless of our personal political ideas. As for me, I'm what is known as a Social Libertarian, but that is neither here nor there in this dire and insidious time. We have to pull together and work together on this point of agreement. What happens when disparate people with many points of view come together and work on their agreements is that they learn to work and talk simultaneously. Then what happens is that they begin to resolve their differences. When that happens, it is what is known as the consent of the governed. The very last thing our criminal political class and self-imposed external authorities want us to do is achieve the consent of the governed. That is why we should most certainly achieve it.
- I've embedded into my mind the necessity to do this so that my subconscious is constantly searching for new ideas and integrations that I have not yet noticed
- My current and primary goal is to not seek "followers" but to be more focused on attracting self-leaders so we can participate in promoting one another's efforts. This could become news in and of itself, and then that will help to grow our businesses.
What I have below is a list of the links where my stuff can be found. Again, these will also be in the Public0X footnotes. What a great feature!
These morning intended podcasts rarely last more than a half hour.
- Here is the main feed from which everything is fed. You can search for "Smell the Inside of Your Nose. Do it Right Now" in any podcast app and you'll find it. If your app doesn't have it please tell me?
HERE IS MY SUBSTACK, SO YOU CAN BE ON THE COMMERCIAL HERSCHEL MAILING LIST. LOT'S OF WRITING AND ALL THE PODCASTS, MOSTLY FREE. Some paid content hasn't gone anywhere yet.
DONATE SOME CRYPTOCURRENCY. BITCOIN OR MONERO. NICE BIG CHUNKS
THIS IS HOWTUBE. IT'S NEW AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE DONE WITH MAINTENANCE BY THE TIME ANYONE READS THIS. They also feed the podcast RSS into the channels. So those are found there. I think Howtube has a lot of potential, and I can't wait till they are done with maintenance so people can see my videos there. I think a lot of the science-oriented people in there will get a kick out of my humor.
BITCHUTE IS A VIDEO PLATFORM FOR CRYPTO. IT'S REALLY COMING ALONG! I get a decent number of views there, for just starting out.
My RUMBLE Channel is also picking up steam.
- I work on getting comments sent here at Smellcast: Buy Me A Coffee. If someone 100% wants their comment read on my show, that's how. At the time of this writing, it's not happened yet.
- Here's my Public0X address
So far things are going pretty well for a brand new podcast by an unknown person. What the different analysts say is that if you have 50 downloads after one week, that's better than 50% of all podcasters. What I had between the podcasts and the video versions of the podcasts combined after five days of four podcasts being live was 136 total downloads and views. I'm really addicted to it now so I don't see it stopping. I have so many subjects lined out that I could be busy seven days a week. I think four is enough, but I bet five will be my average. I thought I'd only do four the first seven days, but I did six! lol.
My suggestion to anyone starting a podcast is to do a trailer first, then give it a couple of days before your first actual show, because it gives the feeds time to propagate. Some of the international feeds I'm on haven't even propagated yet. I might see bumps in downloads when they do. I hope so!
I'd love to hear your comments anywhere, but especially at https://buymeacoffee.com/smellcast, because I am building a business. I am Commercial Herschel. I hope this post was inspiring and that if you have any ideas you can share them, and that you will share this post everywhere you would like. You can even share it on gross social media if you want. I can't stop you. It wouldn't bother me if their cartoonish censors saw it.
