Earwax Companion eBook (FREE)

AUGUST 12, 2019: HOT OFF THE PRESS!

So, you’re saying I’ve got a chance… of you downloading my book. This book includes every main recommendation from year one of the Podcast Gumbo Newsletter in one easy to delete pdf. The good news is that it’s free. As in ($16 / (4-39+6)) * 0 = FREE.

Darknet Diaries? Got it. Kind World? That too. The Secret Room? Of course. Museum Archipelago? Yup.

By subscribing to my newsletter, you’ll get 1) an email every fortnight with three new episode recommendations AND 2) my very first ebook.

This page will serve multiple functions.

  • Instructions on how to download all the episodes from the book into your podcast app.
  • Provide updates to the book (i.e. mea culpas)
  • Other

Subscribe to get the FREE book

Follow this link to subscribe. Sorry for making you go to another page but it’s much easier this way. Duplicate content blows.

As soon as you subscribe successfully, you will get a follow-up email that includes a link to the book for you to download and give you a reason to stop binging re-runs of Suits.

Instructions on how to download all the episodes from the book into your podcast app

Some podcast apps allow you to add my playlist to their app manually. It would be treated the same as if you were adding a regular podcast. Below are instructions for several free (and good) apps. If I ever get motivated, I may make a video to do this.

To make it easier, open this page on the device you want to load my playlist on.

IOS:

Overcast (this is the app I use)

  1. Copy this: https://www.podchaser.com/export/list/3351/rss
  2. From the main screen, press the ‘+’ button at the top right
  3. On the Add Podcast screen, press the ‘Add URL’ link at the top right
  4. Paste what you copied in Step 1 into the Podcast URL field and hit the Done button (no password required)
  5. Go back to the main screen with the list of all your podcasts and you will see a ‘show’ that says: Podcast Gumbo Year 1.
  6. Click on that ‘show’ and play any episode like you normally would for any other show. Download or stream is your choice.

NOTE: In Overcast, the show will be labeled as ‘inactive.’ Overcast determines the frequency of new episodes and will label it as inactive if it sees no new episodes have been added after a certain time. Since this is a playlist that is not updated, it is labeled as inactive.
