Loving the neon visual and I while I always love to see you, Josh, the voice-only feels really nice. Do you like it as well?

Fantastic poetry readings and poets, as always. And I'm so here for the organic snaps!

Noted the no basements re: alligators. ;)

I miss my main mic 🎤😪 The reverb pedal is fun too, as is the phone call in. But in my mind, it is an audio first show. I think people like to see their names pop up though so it's nice to keep that.

I decided to not use substack's native audio only thing. Mainly because I'm simulcasting to the radio as well, which I couldn't do otherwise. I did look into it and you just go like you are doing a video live but then just don't turn on your camera.

Yeah so, the snaps :) it's funny because that wouldn't work in the studio I think because it might be too quiet to open the noise gate. But I have some ideas because I always forget to play the snap tape :)

Thank you for watching and leaving a note. I'm trying to keep to same time slot with consistency as I look forward to it!

Oooh yes, there's no place like home... Or your home studio, so to speak. :)

I was wondering about the Substack audio-only Live, thanks for referencing that, I'm curious about it. Like if you can put up a static image or something.

lol the snap tape is everything.

You are always a joy to tune into Josh!

Lovely show, Josh! Thank you so much for reading my haikus. Its always a great honor to have you feature my writing!

Also digging the new setup, with the neon theme! Hope to be able to tune in next week live to hear some more great poetry!

Keep it up, Josh!

Yeah the neon tape is nice! (I switched because I couldn’t find the original video for my laptop, so it’s a happy accident haha).

I’m just glad my mobile setup worked, so next week should go hopefully just as smoothly!
