QUICK QUIZ #13: KELLY THOMPSON

Hello!

Hope you’re all getting ready for the weekend, however it is you choose to do that. I like to prepare for the weekend by not knowing what day it is and then suddenly panicking about my deadlines.

So we’re doing something a bit different here. Normally the QUICK QUIZ is a mini-podcast where we ask our guests 24 questions that blow open their brains and let us explore the cavernous depths of their inner psyches. It is the wildly more beloved yet wildly less listened to offshoot of our IDEAS DON’T BLEED Podcast and it is exclusive to people who pay for the newsletter. But last week a new paying subscriber told me they had no idea that we had another podcast and I am once again reminded how badly I promote stuff on here.

So we’re giving everyone this one for free so you all know it exists! It features friend of the show Kelly Thompson, who herself has an excellent newsletter you should be reading, and it’s a fun sampling of what we do here in the QUICK QUIZ.

Actually giving everyone the podcast for free is more complicated than my simple mind can comprehend. So my faithful producers, The Smarty Boyz, have included the podcast as a youtube video. If you’re a paying subscriber you can still listen like normal. Otherwise you get this-

And, like the drug dealers on a 1980’s after school special, we get you hooked with that taste but then you have to give us money for more. In this case we have episodes so far with Tyler Boss, Declan Shalvey, Pornsak Pichetshote, Joshua Williamson, Christopher Sebela, Tini Howard, Frank Barbiere, Meghan Fitzmartin, Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly, Alex Paknadel, Kyle Higgins, and… me. So you can sign up and enjoy all these podcasts and a lot more fun stuff to come right here-

It’s that easy. (I didn’t actually have to sign up for this since I own it, so I don’t know how easy it actually is, but I’ve heard from people it was easy.)

Anyway, that’s it for me.

Stay safe. Take care of each other.

FINAL GRADE: B-

I don’t have anything extra to add below here, but to make this work I think I have to add this paywall break at the bottom. We’re doing experiments here. Fun!
