PODCAST: The Big Fat Failure Edition

Regrets? I’ve had a few. Let’s aim higher and squirrel some inspiration out of the most melancholic edition of the podcast yet.

Support Indies Unite for Joshua. Only a few days left.

This podcast punches you in the brain gently Tuesdays and Fridays with topical news, comedy, commentary (occasional thoughtful mourning like today’s show) and coming soon, Fiction Fridays! Soon I’ll be podcasting my new crime novel. In the meantime, stick around as I worm into your ears with my peculiar brand of whimsy.

Please support the podcast with a happy review, donate by clicking the yellow donate button by the show notes or go for a sponsorship and get your book, business or podcast advertised on iTunes and Stitcher. Email me at expartepress@gmail.com about that, as long as you aren’t a crazy person.

Are you joining Stitcher for the free and easy streaming of podcasts? Good choice. Use the promo code SELFHELPSTONERS and you’ll be entered for a draw of a $100 cash card, too.

Lots more is coming. Brace yourself.

PODCAST: The Batman Forgives Edition

Batman, how gay marriage affects you, fear, faith, The Devil, your brain, the nature of forgiveness and our capacity to change.

The nonsense and conscience continues with the new and improved format. More pith, less pits! Shorter, punchier and coming at you every Tuesday and Friday. (Friday fiction’s coming soon as I begin to podcast my book.) Until then? Delicious schadenfreude and brief pontificating. And bloopers! If you hate the show, you’ll still love the books…or so goes my hypothesis. Make it a proven theory and buy the books through  the links above. Gee. That was easy! If you like the books, please be sure to leave a happy review. I’m drowning in obscurity over here!

If you like the show, please leave a happy review on iTunes. It helps with rankings. If you really like the show, consider donating. If you really, really like the show and you’re not crazy, consider donating more and I’ll mention your book, podcast or business. Contact expartepress@gmail.com for more details.

Want a chance at a $100 cash card? Join Stitcher Radio by downloading the free Stitcher app and use the promo code SELFHELPSTONERS and whammo! You’re in their draw.

My buddy Mosno asks the key question: What would Batman do? Kevin Smith talks Fat Man on Batman. Me? I talk about how Batman is woven into the fabric of our lives…and we are not measuring up to his example. It’s clear to me now that if Jesus had a cape, a cowl and a Batmobile, he’d still be rockin’ in the free world to this day.

PODCAST: The No Bullies Edition

What’s the frequency, Kenneth? Bully (the Movie) & bullies in your school and speaking of which, would-be President Mittens!

As I go from long boring monologues to short, punchy episodes in which mimes are killed for sport, you can expect to have the Self-help for Stoners podcast in your earbuds twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Fiction Fridays will soon be on their way but for the rest of the time, it’s all my usual nonsense and conscience. Welcome to the Podcast Pleasure Dome.

PODCAST: The Avengers Assemble Edition

Kevin Smith’s book, Drop Dead Healthy, treadmill desks and nonsense and conscience. Also, please, play nice and don’t give in to cynicism. Heroes rise when we expect the best of ourselves and others.

PODCAST: The Fight for Your Right Edition

4/20 Fallout (not far out), peaceful protest, fighting back, fighting up front and fighting for your party. You were expecting the easy Beastie Boys joke, weren’t you? Low on jokes in this particular podcast. Lots of earnest entreaties instead: friendships are tested; spines must be grown; coin purses must be strapped on. Buckle up for the leftist rant that made me sweat.
