Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for April 20 2024 - The Nothingness I Had Before
On this show I play a song by Love Tractor; I saw Love Tractor open for Husker Du; I switched from Wordpress to Eleventy; I want to return comments to my static web site; I have been gardening old posts and tags from the history of the website; I had forgotten that the WREK bootleg feeds have been around almost as long as podcasting; I added the jazz format to the WREK RSS feeds; staging my new website wiped out my TTRSS install; I got a little nostalgic for my big time of WREK productivity; the return of the inflatable pool and the inflatable kayaks; I'm looking for podcasts to unsubscribe from; I tried Handsome podcast and did not dig it.
