Was this a good idea?

This is a solo episode! Does that excite you? Or fill you with dread, like meeting The Dread Pirate Roberts? 

A reflective, rambling solo episode recorded on a morning walk in which I talk about why this show is audio-first, whyI'm making it, and how he thinks about cadence, audience and membership communities and Christian comedy among the crunching leaves and a cameo from some geese.

How should this podcast work? Best weekly with seasons - or weekly with more solo episodes? I also explain Kevin Kelly’s “1,000 True Fans,” the Loyal Lollards/Wycliffe Papers, and how the podcast supports live shows (God, the Bible & Everything); turning 50, kids now at school after home-ed, asking new questions of ageing parents, and thinking while walking. Plus an exclusive on the name of my next tour show.

I mention: Adam Buxton, Jonah Goldberg (The Remnant/The Ruminant), Cal Newport (Deep Questions/Deep Life), Scott Adams, Paul VanderKlay, Buzzsprout’s Buzzcast; Paul Kingsnorth (Against the Machine), Dominic Sandbrook (Never Had It So Good), Anthony Trollope (Barchester Towers, read by Timothy West), Bishop Hugh Latimer (new video supported by the Latimer Trust), Wycliffe & the Lollards, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs; Jordan Peterson vs. Cathy Newman as a lesson in media dynamics; and the realities of hard rives and music/licensing.

Find out about my touring show, God the Bible and Everything (in 60 minutes) and get in touch via my website.

If you’re serious about the Bible and church history and like jokes, I’d recommend subscribing to The Wycliffe Papers. It's free. But you can also support the podcast by coming a Paid Subscriber to the Wycliffe Papers, making you a Loyal Lollard. Could you consider that?

Or email me in gmail now you can see how to spell Wycliffe...
