Needing a Doc Zero / John Hayward Fix?

Well, don’t we all?

John has exploded in his position as a staff writer for Human Events. Before his new job, John juggled everything else in his busy life and came up with a new essay every two to three days.

Now he’s cranking them out at four to six per day. All of them in the top notch professional standard we all came to expect.

Well, life being life, I can’t create podcasts at the rate of six episodes a day. (It takes approximately 6 to 10 times as long to engineer / produce / create a podcast as it does to listen to it.) So what I’m doing is taking a look at what John’s writing and producing podcasts based on those essays I think will have the greatest “staying power.” Those that will still be interesting to listen to six months or a year or longer from now. Much of what John is writing is commentary on daily events which’ll be put aside within a week for more pressing current business. (Anyone remember that “balanced budget talks” commenced last week? I didn’t think so.)

If you’d like to get notification on when there’s a new podcast of John’s work, you can subscribe to my Twitter feed: Joe Koday or head over to my main website at Joe Koday Podcasts.

Cheers,

Doc Zero Has Left The Building

Congratulations to John on his new career as a staff writer for Human Events. Any of us who’ve enjoyed John’s writings knew it would only be a matter of time before his talent was recognized and appropriately compensated.

I dropped a line to Doc asking him what he’d like me to do with podcasting his essays. Unfortunately, he’s a little swamped and hasn’t had an opportunity to figure out all of the intricate dealings of “rights of first publication” and other copyright issues. So we’re kind of playing it by ear.

No matter what, I’m going to simplify my life performing the podcasts. I’m adding to my list of authors I’m reading for, so I’m going to start to combine all of my performances in one location. From this point forward you can find Doc’s podcasted-performances over at Joe Koday Podcasts. If you’re subscribing via iTunes or an RSS reader, the link is: http://joekodaypodcasts.wordpress.com/feed.

I won’t be updating this site any more after this posting. All of John’s podcasts will be at the Joe Koday Podcast site. If contractual problems arise that John isn’t permitted to have his essays turned into podcasts, I’ll remove them, naturally, rather than see John suffer any negative consequences.

Finally, as a preemptive move, based on other “first publishing right” items I’ve seen so far, I’ll not publish any podcast until at least 48 hours after it’s been posted to Human Events.

Congratulations again, John!

It has long been my practice to write a horror story on Halloween, and share it with my friends. I posted last year’s effort at Hot Air, along with an essay about horror entitled The Very Witching Time of Night. I thought I would share this year’s story as well. Happy Halloween!
