Hey gang. Now, I know some of you may be wondering what the heck we’re going to do with me hanging up my podcast hat, but this new change isn’t retiring The Good Atheist: just my role as primary content producer. In a sense, I want to separate what I do professionally for money from the ‘activist’ side of what I do. The reason is that I think the work/pressure of keeping things rolling was just too much, and I’ve been finding myself with itchy legs for a little while. When I started TGA in April of 2007, the idea had been to simply attract an audience to sell a book I hoped to one day write. It was a simple idea with many strange, fascinating, and unique life experiences. Through it all, I learned it’s my passion which makes me the human being I am. My interests are huge and varied, and I want to share them all. The difference now is I want to make real money with these other loves, without losing my passion. But slowly, I’m figuring it all out.
I know all of this may be vague. I’ve produced a podcast that’s ‘on demand only’ covering some of these basics, but even without going into specifics the podcast is an hour and a half long. As you can imagine, the task of actually laying out my insanely elaborate plan is a task, but I intend on tackling it with as much passion and vigor as anything I’ve done. I trust this prospect excites you, and being a ‘300’ is something that now seems like a more exciting future.
For those of you who want to listen to the podcast, leave a comment or email me at jake@thegoodatheist.net. I’ll be outlining more details in the weeks to come as I iron them out.
