The Editors Desk for Everyone!
Tom shares the Editor’s Desk with non-patrons today since it’s a holiday in the US.
He answers the following questions:
Thank you for sharing the interview from the Kilowatt Podcast with Jeremy Michalek. I liked having that in my feed, but I wanted to know if you have any specific criteria before sharing another podcast with the DTNS audience. I know that Bodie is part of the extended DTNS family, but are there other podcasts or people you have on a shortlist?
Love the show!

So with Apple Podcasts implementing chapter markers, does that improve or lessen the chances the rest of us will ever get them for DTNS (and Cordkillers)? Pretty please???

I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I'm loving the new format. DTNS Briefing is great, and encapsulates everything I loved about pre-2025 DTNS (holy cow, I just started to type Buzz Out Loud instead of DTNS. I must really need my coffee this morning! Or else I'm just really living in the past as I revisit various incarnations of the show in my mind). I even dip in on the other "main feed" shows that are a little more free-form. I love having this separation.
I write because I want to express how much I love it, but hearing that the numbers were down a bit last month for my format of choice, I just wanted to express that love even more.
