HEY… PODCASTERS… HAVE ME ON YOUR SHOW
I know there are tons of you that read this newsletter, and I wanted to put it out there that I’m looking to come on as a guest on more podcasts.
Things I can talk about: podcasts, the podcast ecosystem, podcast discovery, podcast marketing, and maybe even other things that line up with my interests (history, science, TV & Film, the Internet, marketing, politics, how podcasts are shaping voting behaviour).
If you’d like to have me on your show, get in touch.
Here are this week’s podcast recommendations.

Deep Dream State
The Deep Dream State is a full cast erotic horror audio drama about the engineering of desire. Each arc reveals a new vector of control: a luxury cruise concealing ancient rituals, a reality show that bends reality, and a research institute creating compliance through dreams.
The Deep Dream State blends immersive sound design with a complex built world. The conventions of drama and podcasting are all part of the web. New episodes weekly. Created by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns.

TECHNOLOGY
The Last Invention
The AI revolution has begun – the product of a seventy-year quest by scientists, mathematicians, and visionaries who set out to build machines that could think. But what began as a fringe idea has now become one of the most powerful forces of the 21st century. This is the story of that journey: its rivalries, its competing visions of utopia and apocalypse, and the race to build what may be humanity’s last invention.

SCIENCE FICTION
Havoc Town
A strange plague has struck Abbesstown, NH, a sleepy farming village in the foothills of the White Mountain: Fever, the vomiting of blood, wild night terrors that wrack the victims. No medicine seems to work against it, and so the Reverend Josiah Abbess, believing something infernal is at work in his flock, begins his campaign to root out the evil. What follows becomes known as The Abbesstown Vampire Panic.
200 years later, and the peace is once again violently shattered when a man drives his truck into the side of city hall, attacking those who come to assist him with an ax. Wild eyed and sweating blood, ranting of a coming storm, he is finally taken down by the town’s police and brought to the hospital.
In the following days, a familiar old plague follows. In the midst of the ensuing panic, Jury Havock, scion to the Havock business empire, appears. He is cool headed. Pragmatic. Determined to get control over the sickness overtaking the population. But Corinne Abbess, the last of her disgraced bloodline, is suspicious of this would-be messiah, and becomes determined to uncover the truth about his sudden appearance in town, and all of the unbelievable events that follow.
