Here it is, folks: the inauspicious debut of my latest podcast, Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates.
What is This?
I talked about it in Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick 107. This new show is my platform to simply… talk to you. Mostly about creating and the creative life as I (attempt to) live it, and so, mostly, to do with writing.
But not just about those things. Which was one of the issues that kept me from recording and releasing Sonitotum episodes: the scope of that show was “making stuff, finding success as we each define it for ourselves, and staying healthy and sane in the process.”
What if I wanted to talk about stuff that might only be charitably described as adjacent to that mission..?
Another thing keeping me from podcasting was available time. So you’ll hear that Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates is… stripped down. It’s almost only every going to be just me, talking to you. I don’t want to take the time for intro music, or interstitials, or bed music, or any of that stuff that requires extra effort and takes extra time.
The idea is to come as close as possible to just turning on a mic and talking, and then taking the path of least resistance toward getting it out to you.
Episode Naming
Because there’s really no set topic for each episode, the naming convention is a little different, too. This is an audio journal. So each episode will be “The Year-The Month Date.” For example, this episode was recorded on two different days, so it’s called “2025-02 23 and 25.”
The file name for the MP3 file will be mwsc_###_###.mp3, in which the first three-digit set is the episode number, and the second set is the total number of podcast episodes I’ve released.
This episode was recorded on February 23 and 25, 2025.
