Tweaking the news show, should I talk with Lunduke? - Patroncast S04E02
Added 2024-01-08 11:26:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Here is your weekly episode of the patroncast!
In this one, I talk about:
- 01:07 The channel, what I have planned for the week, and trying to ensure no one gets too spammed by the daily Linux show
- 12:10 Bryan Lunduke inviting me on their show, and should I go talk live to someone whose views I pretty much entirely disagree on
I hope you'll enjoy listening to this one, and I hope you'll have a great week!

The Lunduke invite sounds like a trap. I'd avoid it. I'm use to subscriptions being a bit noisy and I can set rules if they start bothering me. Really enjoying the daily show! Cheers!

2024-01-12 11:05:25 +0000 UTCYou do not require anyone's permission to thank no to an interview invite any more than you do to thank no to a badly matched sponsorship offer. The audience you describee already despise your existence and/or opinions - regardless of whether you choose to support their platform of choice with your time & efforts or not. You are likely right that your comment section could be firebombed, but that seems likely whether that audience was made aware of it via your presence on the show or the host mentioning that you decline. Presence would just make more ammunition more easily available. It is a shame that other hosts have participated with either heartfelt support or felt the above as having their online presence held hostage, to which they responded by giving in and participating. Perhaps following along the popular right wing media idea of "fairness" meaning you must go cast an "opposing view" holder from the local asylum, to match up with the field expert you're interviewing? Those character flaws are their own and they need to own them. You do not have to.
