I’m going to beg your indulgence for a couple paragraphs.
It seems that Substack put out this bright, shiny little feature of creating transcripts for podcasts. So I did a test run - remember the longer little snippet I alluded to in my Saturday post on notes from my phone?
I decided to use that for my test run and read it right off my phone.
Substack indeed does a very good transcription of what I said. I edited it just a bit because it may not quite speak Midwest like I do.
Exploring the depths of political thought can be dangerous - ideas occasionally implode, never to be seen again. But if thoughts deemed to be too conservative for prime time aren’t aired, we get stagnation, which of course leads back to rule by tyrants and monarchs.
Our Founding Fathers were such men that they dug up a lot of old ideas that seemed radical at the time, and, without a popular mandate, got them placed into action to benefit all of mankind. Unfortunately, would-be founding fathers of the new world order also dug up a lot of old ideas and are in the same mode of getting them placed into action, to the benefit of the pockets they line. Ten percent for The Big Guy is but a tiny down payment on this toll.
So what do you all think? I’m giving my paying subscribers first crack - would this be something you’re interested in as an additional premium? (In a few days I’ll release to the rest of the subscribers and put it on social media.) Knowing now how long it takes me to write a script that goes 40-45 seconds, I can extrapolate into segments sort of like a extended play version of Rush’s Morning Minute used to be and make them weekly or even a couple times a week.
Isn’t Substack a great thing?
And then on Saturday I have even more exciting news about a longer-term (on the order of several months) project that I’ve decided was worth doing.
Plus: you can still Buy Me a Coffee, since I have a page there now. And remember…
