@mirrorchild Interesting podcasts. But are they all separate files, or do you also have a website of the podcast with links to all iliasm podcasts? The closest we have now is the Jul 30, 2020 post on page 1 of this thread where I list the 4 current episodes. I edit it as episodes get released, so it is current. Will that serve your needs? If not, perhaps a formal web page will be possible, (It'd be a good idea in thefuture, no question. I'm just focused on generating enough content to make such a web page mildly interesting beyond ILIASM. When a group of them are together, CSL is game for moving them to a podcast hosting service (Red Circle seems to be a good choice), from which Apple iTunes may be able to find it.
jerri This speaks to the smart speaker (Alexa, Hey Google, etc) question. I suspect smart speakers will tie in more closely with Apple iTunes podcasts soon and by the time we have a good starting set, it may be fait accompli. Re:Trump. Not my cup of tea, but surely we don't what any refused people to find this a hostile environment. No doubt a "lively" discussion might be had on the "Off Topic" thread. But even there... I wonder if ILIASM should be a place to decompress rather than yet another place to raise our blood pressure. Not as though the air isn't thick with the two sides talking past each other. In 2004, Howard Dean spoke of wanting to represent people with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks (paraphrasing) and he was jumped by everyone running against him. It seems almost prescient now, given Ironhamster's observation that many poor whites in many parts of the country (rightly or wrongly) feel as though Democrats have nothing to offer them. The Us vs. Them mentality has not been de-escalated well from what I see and, my goodness, it could use some. If parts of our country get neglected it weakens us as a whole. Be it squalid cities, mining ghost towns, or farming communities. Seeing the needs of our country menpeople as more important than our own hasn't been in fashion for a while. I've got my theories as to why, but that would have to be addressed in the Off-Topic thread.
worksforme2 You may be surprised how much you agree with liberals when they aren't made into cartoons by media shows and web pages that operate on ratings rather than an interest in the truth. One conversation I've always wanted to have (not on ILIASM, probably) is... What is the ONE thing that liberals/conservatives get right? The blindness of both sides to the delusion that their opponent must be wrong about every single thing shouldn't be so hard to crack. Other interests (likely not ours) are served when we unify around our "team" as the highest good. We cannot improve when we only talk to ourselves and insist we already know everything. It strikes me that's how we got where we are and no one seems happy about it. |

I think that podcast refers to the two hosts acting as though they are married, but not an actual couple. It has nothing to do with us. I was disappointed too. The Mar 4, 2020 post in this thread has the selections I've found. There isn't much out there, given how much stigma is out there for both refused and refuser partners. It does not appear to be an exploited niche given the 20% of marriages figure I've seen bandied about. |

Funny, eh? Podcasts just don't do it for me. I am literate. I read at 4-5 times the speed of the spoken (podcast) word. I don't read with my lips moving. Listening to podcasts has me squirming in my seat with impatience. "Why don't you get to the point, already?" I tried a few times, and I just won't go there again. Don't enjoy squirmy.
What makes no sense at all to me: I listen to the radio in the car. Live presenters, interviews .... then someone broadcasts a podcast and I start squirming in my seat. Explain THAT to me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha {confused look}{scratches head} Not my medium, I guess.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha {confused look}{scratches head} Not my medium, I guess. Normally, I'm with ya. I lament the replacement of technical manuals with Youtube videos. (text search is your friend) The 21st century may not be kind to us. To help, you can increase the speed of the readers on podcasts (and Youtube, come to think of it). Talk radio comes at whatever speed they force on you. I only listen to them when doing dishes, driving, or walking the dog. Holding a book or tablet isn't an option. Both demand my attention so the slower speed isn't an issue (or I can speed up.) One podcast needs to be heard at 50% increased speed. The host is a little fast, but her partner talks so slowly anything less than 50% boost is unspeakably frustrating. Some podcasts are so dense with info if I boosted it, I'd be rewinding all the time. Perhaps on the off topic thread a list of good non-sexual podcasts might be a useful thing. |

So many people on both sides fall into the "useful idiots" category I can't see discussion doing anything positive. Being surprised by how much I might agree with Liberals.....I'm sure this is a dead end. Cartoons do not play a role in my opinion. I try to read and listen to position statements either by the candidate or their spokesperson so I am pretty sure where my local, and federal candidates are on the issues and the same for the other side. I don't read editorial opinions just to reinforce my own views. |

Liking the podcast. It's nice to put voices with the screen names. Can't wait to hear the next one and I would love to see an archive website someday too.

Maybe a sticky post in the Resources section? That would work too. I was thinking about a whole new website designed specifically for hosting podcasts. |

so what what is the motivation to do this podcast thing? are you trying to make a little money off of it or just bored? 😕😉 Podcasts are a way to bring support to people who are unaware support exists. There may be two podcasts about it. One of them is pretty thin and the other has gone dark. (no new episodes in a very long time.) The decent podcast covered topics about sexlessness and podcasts are often information or interviews. * Refused* was supposed to complement the informative one. Instead, maybe I'll have to lace it with research. greatcoastal posted many articles of that variety. Perhaps I can ask the authors permission to read them on the podcast as long as I give due credit. Money? Very low priority. Expectations of none. You have to work much harder than I have time for to make it in media. The kind words of ILIASM members is payment of a sort as well. I think CSL has been enjoying people's reactions too. |

My project this past year, on my blog, has been to organize and group my posts into free downloadable.pdfs; hardly the work of someone seeking to monetize. In fact, I am working on putting the last one together and uploading it next month. When mirrororchid first approached me about it, he suggested that this would be a way to make written words available to those who prefer to access podcasts rather than websites. |

My voice would be recognized if someone I know stumbled across it and I know lots of people. |
