In This Episode…
Since the election, I have been posting longer rants on my TikTok account, which until recently, has rarely contained a video over 60 seconds long.
I have been building that account for a couple of years now, and it has been an absolute pleasure to post daily (or several times a day) and learn things about myself and the world that I did not ever imagine learning.
This is to say, TikTok is its own universe unlike any other social media app. Is it also, frankly, not for the faint of heart. If you are there, please do follow me, because there is so much content that I do not post elsewhere.
Today, however, I have started to rip the audio from some of my longer videos. I have edited three of those posts together for your pleasure (or not, let's see.) If you are not on TikTok and still want to see the original videos, I have included YouTube links.

Hello, friend!
Or future friend? Hopefully, not future enemy? I suppose that to be an actual enemy, one would have had to have a falling out of a friendship. Wait, I am getting away from the point of this missive.
About this podcast…
I have accumulated quite a few expansive pieces on Substack over the past almost-year, and I am now reading them for you as podcasts!
These episodes generally come in at around the 15 to 20-minute mark.
Perfect for:
Laying in bed while the “you” in your mind swims around looking for some unfounded worry to drown in.
Washing your one dish and cup because you have decided to live the profoundly meager lifestyle of an aspiring artist.
Proving to a friend that you are a raging intellectual by explaining that “this Josh Bloom guy knows his shit.”
I would love to entertain you, so please listen weekly on Substack, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app.
I need your help!
Do you remember when connecting with someone on social media was called “friending” and not “following?” “Following” sounds so subsurvient.
I publish my writing and record this podcast to bring something to your life. By reading, listening, liking, commenting, and subscribing, you are bringing something to mine.
Remember, please like, comment, and subscribe. It really helps!
I love that you’re here.
Let’s develop this community together!
If you want to buy me a coffee, I will remember you while caffeinating, and you will be supporting my work!
