We used to post our essays in written form on our blog at our website back in the day, as well as on www.medium.com and they seemed to never really get any traction, especially on Medium. It was concluded this was due to so many folks these days being willing to listen over read so we simplified our blog, ditched Medium, and planned to make them spoken word audio versions only. Especially after Medium started making their website a subscription model which mostly benefitted the company over writers. So for the last year or two, there’s been no location were our essays exist readable online. Perhaps we’ll try www.substack.com but not sure as that’s yet another platform.
Knowing that there are some folks out there who really prefer to read over listen, we’ve decided to include the written versions in our essay volumes and have updated them in our store and here for you folks with both the spoken word mp3 files as well as the written files.
We realize it might be nice to include the written version in the various podcasts posts with the streamable & downloadable spoken word version so that will likely happen in the future as well.
The updated essay volumes, now with both mp3 files and their corresponding pdf files can be downloaded here:
