Patrick,

I found you from being a Podiobooks.com listener and I followed you over to your blog because you were witty and great at narrating your own stuff in an engaging genuine voice. Half the time I wasn’t super interested in the topic but I knew you’d make it interesting. You have a distinctly entertaining and smart way with words. Fiction, non-fiction. You’re a guy who can write well and your delivery is top notch. Anyways, that’s why I listen to your stuff. Hope it’s encouraging.

it is very encouraging. Mostly I'm wrestling with how to take that and narrow in on a topic. My struggle right now is, unless it fits in a search term, it's hard to grow an audience. But damnnit, I don't want to be reduced to a search term!

That story about the ducks made me think of when in the Lucky Luke comics some guy was made to dance on the spot by having one or more guns fired at the ground near his feet. All fun and games in a comic for kids, but whenever that activity was shown in a movie, the desperation in the 'dancer' would be palpable.
