Praise is a weird thing, isn't it? We know it makes others feel good to receive it, but many of us get shy or feel awkward when we're the recipients of praise. I'm right there with you. And I need to get over it.  https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/adding-some-evo-to-the-podcast-hall-of-fameIt was recently announced that I will be inducted into the Podcast Hall of Fame. Which is... kind of cool! The award ceremony will take place this March at Podcast Movement Evolutions in Los Angeles. Good thing I bought a ticket, huh? I'm sharing this with you today to say simply... thank you for letting me think out loud about the present and future of podcasting across the nearly 600 episodes of Podcast Pontifications produced since 2018.Thank you for engaging with me on Twitter, the Advancing Podcasting Community's Discord server, or asking me to be a part of your show to talk about podcasting. A big thank you to those who stuck with the podcast 3 Clips as I take over the reins as the new host for Season 2. Another big thanks to you if you engage with the various properties of Sounds Profitable, where I serve as the editor and oversee strategic operations. And a special note of thanks to the hundreds of authors-cum-podcasters who took a risk by making a podcast version of their books on Podiobooks.com back in the day. Finally, a huge thanks to many friends I've made along the way who following my tangled, wandering path through podcasting that started all the way back in 2004.Thank you very much for following me from show to show, suffering through my months-long hiatuses,  and for putting up with my never-ending existential crises that cause me to change directions on a dime. None of that is conducive to building an audience. But it has certainly made me a lot of friends along the way. -----LinksLooking for a remote recording solution that handles both audio and video? you need Riverside.fm!Podcast Hall of Fame to induct me this year!Podcast Movement Evolutions in Los AngelesCheck out the podcast, 3 Clips, that I host! Sounds ProfitablePodiobooks.comGet early access to these episodes on Apple Podcasts or Buy Me A CoffeeOver 100K active podcasters trust Buzzsprout Got a podcasting service?

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.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
