This is The Nooner, a short daily (Monday - Saturday) newsletter slash podcast that has its very own section within Dispatches from Inner Space.
Every Sunday, I publish the Dispatches Weekly Digest (DWD), which lets you binge all the Nooners from the previous week. It also includes a meaningful song recommendation, and a short segment I call TMI, where I go off script to bring you backstage, so to speak.
Two more things about the DWD:
It goes on on the main Dispatches channel, so if you’re looking to spare your inbox from the daily emails without missing out on anything, you can specifically unsubscribe from The Nooner section, and still get the Digest on Sunday.
It’s only available to paid subscribers.
The Dispatches Weekly Digest is a labor of love, and I’m really proud of it, and if you want to hear it, I want you to hear it. So, if you can afford it…
And if you can’t, but you still think of yourself as one of my true fans, let me know and we’ll work something out.
Toward a less boring life
Three things are true about things that become excessively familiar to us:
We love them
We hate them
They are boring
And who am I more familiar with than myself?
There’s no one whose thoughts I know better, no one who’s wants and needs I’m more intimately aware of, no one whose ideas I’ve heard more often, more exhaustively.
Speaking of exhaustion...
I live in here. It’s boring. It fails to inspire.
This is why I have to read and watch and listen to a lot of books, movies, TV, podcasts, Substacks, and this is why I have to *talk to people*. Long, open conversations.
But I also have to be open to earn the openness of others. I have to share whatever I have that’s most true (and hopefully least boring) in order to invite others to do the same.
That way, one conversation at a time, we can all be less bored, and less boring.
