The end of Evo’s Long Winter's Nap is upon us, and brand new episodes of Podcast Pontifications return on January 4th, 2021! I know you’re excited. 

Even though I’ve been on break since the end of October, regular listeners to the program still heard new episodes—albeit not with as much frequency—courtesy of some other working podcasters who lent their voices while I was away. If you’re not subscribed, remedy that situation, because you missed great content from:

 Patrick Oliver Jones from the podcast, Why I’ll Never Make It, with three innovative ways borrowed from his time in the theater to help you get “unstuck” when you’re 
running out of podcasting ideas.
Steph Fuccio from The Geopats Podcasts explained why every podcast has a local aspect—even if you think you have a global audience—and offered advice on how you can help those listeners who aren’t right next door.
Kevin Patton of the podcasts The A&P Professor and The Academic Podcaster, and honest-to-goodness lion tamer, demonstrated a simple way for you to be a nicer critic when listening to other shows.
Mark Steadman of the podcast hosting, distribution, and analytics company Podiant shared his thoughts on the long-lasting impact the pandemic will have on podcasting.
Bryan Barletta of the adtech newsletter, Sounds Profitable wants you to stress less when contemplating adding advertising to your podcast.
And Tim Desmond of the podcast RevolutionFI provided some support to the seasoned podcaster with a brand new show starting from zero.

Did you notice the brand new logo for Podcast Pontifications. More than that, it’s actually a professionally-designed logo, which I commissioned from the talented graphic designer Nik Gill. I think it’s brilliant and captures the Zen-like feeling I'm trying to conjure with Podcast Pontifications episodes as I help you ponder sometimes straightforward questions yet often deep philosophical questions about life as and the future of a working podcaster.

Also, I’ve made a new Twitter account just for Podcast Pontifications. My personal Twitter account will be the main place I engage, but this new show-specific Twitter account will let me do some experimenting with social sharing tools. Sure, I could do that on @evoterra as well, but I don’t want to annoy everyone with my playing around. Expect notices of when new

That's it for this “I’m almost back” episode. I hope you and yours have/had a happy solstice, a Merry Christmas, a happy new year, and whatever else you might choose to celebrate, observe, or just look forward to this time of year. 

But most importantly: Here's to 2021. There’s no way it can be worse than 2020, right? Let's hope. 

I shall be back on Monday, January 4th, 2021 for yet another Podcast Pontifications.

Cheers!

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.

If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:

1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.

We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
