Thanks for doing and sharing this! I’ve downloaded the seven episodes mentioned, and look forward to listening to them!
I’ve also now commented a link to this post and the podcast page on A list of EA-related podcasts, so that it can be found again later from that sort-of “central directory” post.
Do also feel free to contact us with ideas for future EA interviewees (including yourself).
You may be interested in talking to this person planning to make a podcast on “Everyday EAs” (he also made a video on the idea, but it’s “unlisted” on YouTube so I’ll refrain from sharing it), or some of the people who commented there to express interest in being interviewed. I’d also be happy to be interviewed—I’ll send you a message :)
This is my first post on this forum, so I would also appreciate feedback on whether this kind of post is valued here. Apologies if instead it comes off as self-promotion — not my intention at all.
I definitely value this post, and there’s nothing wrong with self-promotion anyway! You’ve created some resources relevant to EA, and are letting us know about them. If you just made this podcast but never posted about it here, I probably wouldn’t have ever gotten to hear about this.
We don’t want EAs self-promoting in ways that are deceptive or use cheap tricks (like clickbait-y titles), but if EAs didn’t self-promote at all, it’d be much harder to find out about the cool stuff they’re doing!
And if it turned out that no one cared about this post, they could just not read it or not upvote it, and it would quickly drop off the frontpage and not take up people’s time anymore. So I personally think people currently self-select out of posting more than they should; I think people should probably more often just go ahead and post, and give readers the choice of whether to pay attention or not. (See also Why you (yes, you) should post on the EA Forum.)
Two small bits of feedback on this post:
Maybe explicitly state the podcast name right near the start of the post?
Maybe tell people how you’d like to be contacted (e.g., a particular email address vs EA Forum message)?
