Yuletide, Good Life, and Plans for 2024

And my Facebook walls it a bit so I will try to do it pretty short and sweet here and I have been bit under the weather here so I have a bit of a cough so I will drink some tea here. Cheers. But I wanted to get back on track. The latest episode 30 was with Maria Rubia, artist, a music artist. That was during the spring of this year as I said. And at the end talk about the plans for 2024. Now I hear my voice here.

So I will try to get through on another podcast in Swedish called Victit Borictit important for real and what's really important could say with by Corin coach co host Corinne Blood, master certified coach. She asked about the bonus material at the end of the episode explaining about the word yule tide and in Swedish we call it yevl. And in English nowadays it's often called Christmas.

And I have a podcast together with my co host Blair called the Secular Foxhole and I mentioned it to him a couple of times about the importance to point out the meaning of a word and so on. Now it's so used to say in English Christmas. But if you're a so called non believer or atheist or secular individual and you hear the word Christmas, you could respond a bit and wonder about it.

Then it's important to know about the origin and original source, the pagan source, and also how the tradition have been. And you could say the battle of the word. So I will include in the show notes about yule and yule tide and the log that you put in the fireplace like a piece of wood, for example, a tree, like a Christmas tree, joke about. Now again, Christmas xmas. So the jewel tide. So I often like to say merry jewel tide in English to my friends, english speaking friends.

And in Swedish it's jewel. So where it's coming from, talking about Christmas Xmas, I will include also in the show notes an article by Dr. Leonard Peakoff talking about why it's important that Christmas is commercial. And for me as a poor capitalist, air quotes here understand the value that it is a commercial holiday.

And it's also holiday about celebrating end of the year and then with religion, others trying to force other things upon us, then it is important to understand this about commercialization and gift giving and celebration and good times and so on. So for myself, I will buy myself a gift here during Tide, a book by Dr. Peekoff and read by.

I will take it as an audiobook on audible because I have credits there and it's about pets and it's read by Jonathan Hernig and it's Dr. Peakoff and Ein like in mine, rand about pets importance about pets. And I'm a cat person and I know Dr. Peekoff has a dog and also Jonathan Hernig has a dog.

So it'd be interesting to listen, read this book and I got notification about that and I did a tweet or an x post as they say now, Twitter is now called X. And there it was Scott Holleran that informed me about this new book and he thanked Blair and myself, our work with the episode on Dr. Leonard Pico's birthday. So I will also include that in the show. Note he also recently in the section here good life in his newsletter Autonomia that I subscribe to.

I will talk about that in upcoming episodes. Also about Substac and the subscription model and the value for value model and plans there and how you could support fellow podcasters out there. So he had done a podcast. Substack has now a podcast feature, you could say, because you could subscribe to the RSS feed and have it in different podcast apps, not a Spotify app, but you could have it in Apple Podcasts, for example overcast and others.

And if you know the RSS feed and you get it from them from a substac where you subscribe to and you could do that. So that was pretty neat. And there he has posted an episode called 30 Years in the press. And around 910 minutes into the episode, Scott doing a shout out and mentioning my name and also fellow blogger Gus van Horn that we had done nice work there with podcasting and blogging and thoughtful comments about his work.

And it was very inspirational and thought provoking to listen to his career and his take on movie reviews. For the record, I am not a movie buff. So Scott tolerance work with like as he mentioned also box office Mojo. And then he's at scottoleran.com and now on Substac. It's very valuable for me. So to go to a source where it's reliable and giving you inspiration and giving you a list for upcoming views of a movie, going to a theater or renting it or watching it, streaming it online, so on.

So I will check out that for next year his recommendation recommendations again and see what I could watch for during next year. So I will see here the time around 910 minutes. I will try to have it within 15 minutes. I will take another sip of tea here. Cheers. My plans for 2024 and I will do to joke here I will do unbothering my Christmas shirt, you could say.

And under it I have a t shirt and that's like related to and here it's saying ego blog egoist blogspot.com that was my first blog in 2002 on Google's blog platform. But back in the day it was owned by a small private company and I was a premium customer there on blog spot blogger. So my plan is to update that blog bit more and then I have a plan to like a daily short reading from Iran Lexicon, both words, concepts, philosophical ideas. Doing that every day.

And then over a year it will be then several hundreds of short episodes. So being podcasting my first podcast since 2006. Then it will come up in an amount that if I would done it on a regular basis as a new media advisor, that will catch on maybe and also for search engine optimization, but also giving me some maybe new contacts, interests. One thing could lead to another. For example, podcast the secular foxhole with my co host Blair. That's one thing that I'm planning.

And also continue with this to play with words tempest in a teapot or tours thunder. Now I will showing here on the video on camera play Toy plastic tour marvel. I think it's called Hammer Mjolnir name of Hammer Tors hammer. So I will use this on Thursdays and doing some ventilating about an issue, a topic. It could be politics, it could be in the news, et cetera. And then ask if it's really an important issue or is it a tempest in a teapot or storm in a teacup?

In Swedish you say storm in a water glass. So with that, thanks for watching here live and then in replay when it's recorded. And then this episode one free 131 will be editing now during day by yours truly and then post production and show notes. And then I will publish it on a podcast hosting place captivate during the day. So with that I will say Cheerio and talk to you soon again. Bye for now. Cheers. Here I will show my notes for this episode. Pencil.

I will do a photo on Instagram promoting this upcoming episode. Bye for now.
