Thanks for doing and sharing this! Iâve downloaded the seven episodes mentioned, and look forward to listening to them!
Iâve 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 âcentral directoryâ 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 âEveryday EAsâ (he also made a video on the idea, but itâs âunlistedâ on YouTube so Iâll refrain from sharing it), or some of the people who commented there to express interest in being interviewed. Iâd also be happy to be interviewedâIâll 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 â not my intention at all.
I definitely value this post, and thereâs nothing wrong with self-promotion anyway! Youâve 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 wouldnât have ever gotten to hear about this.
We donât want EAs self-promoting in ways that are deceptive or use cheap tricks (like clickbait-y titles), but if EAs didnât self-promote at all, itâd be much harder to find out about the cool stuff theyâre 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 peopleâs 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 youâd like to be contacted (e.g., a particular email address vs EA Forum message)?
