A listener critiqued the podcast with this phrasing:
We’ve been critiqued like that before, and it’s a little disheartening. Then again, the truth usually is. No one wants to hear it, and those who do are hurt before realizing that things have to change. This did spark a bit of a different reaction from Don, who isn’t me. I took time to reflect on the critique.
Don pressed for more information, and you can read the rest of that thread for it all.
What really matters is that people are responding, and that means something to me.
On the Wild Space front, I’m moving the deadline for Issue Two submissions to February 28th, 2015. After a nice discussion with my staff, we’ve decided to make the magazine quarterly. So get to work, send us your things, and let us make them pretty!
I think making the magazine quarterly is a good idea. You’re much less likely to start getting junk because people can put effort into it. Good idea!
