Homecoming: A New Way to Envision Stories.


I just finished Homecoming on Amazon. I liked it! It felt different, but I couldn't place why. Then learned that it came from a podcast featured on Gimlet Media. Ohhh...holy crap. Now I see. The podcast format necessarily has a different feel. I applauded the effort.

Then I realized that Serialized and story-based podcasts are a *great* way to get stories out there for people to pick up stories that they might not have with a book or a television show. Now my mind is whirring. The format is a different one.

While I know that the audio story is not new in the podcasting world, the way that people consume media rapidly changing. Looking forward to more interesting stories being created from this medium in the future.

Let me know what you think about the future of podcasted stories!

BenjaCon: A Way Of Getting My Comic Convention Vibes Back During A Pandemic


BenjaCon is happening this year for the first time. Be a part of this inaugural experience. I'm not even sure what will happen because I'm making it up as I go along. The best way I can describe BenjaCon is as a way to get my comic convention vibes back. 

Yeah...I don't know how to explain something I'm doing as I'm in the process of doing it, but I'm creating it anyway. It's a feeling and a flow. An art + performance + social + development + design project. Basically, I have gotten A LOT of my creative spirit from the con experience over the years, and I want to channel that energy.

It's a strange time, but I've been learning to corral energy for growth instead of fighting dumb shit. (If you've been paying attention, that's the idea behind Transcendent Press.)

Artists and creatives will be doing stuff.
