Fame awaits
Apr. 2nd, 2025 09:52 pmI emailed a baseball podcast about a linguistics thing and they read out my email!
I mean they read it on one of the mailbag episodes where all they do is read out emails. But still! I wrote it a while ago and had forgotten about it since, so it was fun.
At the end, one of the hosts said "whatever degree you got, hang that sucker on the wall with pride, man, because that makes a lot of sense." Super cute.
The next email was from a woodworker, who wants to make them an official piece of wood to knock on, because one of the hosts is someone who's always saying "knock on wood."
And this juxtaposition meant that they commented on how impressively diverse their patreons are, anything that comes up they can get an expert opinion on or "find someone that has devoted their life to this topic."
