The Return of the Blood & Rain Podcast & The Future of the Blood & Rain Substack
Establishing a Proper Lineup
Hello All,
I hope this finds you well.
Now that a return has occurred, it’s high time I state what to expect.
The Blood & Rain Podcast will return to regular releases starting today, Monday, October 3rd.
The schedule for release will be as follows:
Monday: Solo Podcast
Wednesday: Guest Podcast
Friday: Nobel Literature Podcast
There are quite a few podcast episodes already recorded, and in the coming weeks, there will likely be multiple episodes released in each time slot.
The minimum releases are as follows:
Monday: Blood & Rain Episode 57: New Covenant
Wednesday: Blood & Rain Episode 58: “The Wisdom of Kings” Featuring Ryan King
Friday: Nobel Literature Episode 1: Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and “The King”
I’ve spoken with many potential guests for many new episodes in the coming weeks, and have a sizable amount of “as I drive” solo podcasts already recorded.
The Nobel Literature wing of the podcast is one I’m particularly passionate about after reading a number works by a sizable amount of Nobel Prize-awarded writers that have greatly shifted my personal paradigm.
It’s been far too long, and there’s quite a bit of lost time to make up for.
As it stands, all podcasts are free to listen to across all platforms.
This brings me now to the written side of Blood & Rain. In 2021, I wrote at high volume on Instagram, but with the switch of the algorithm to favor video content that is typically reposted nonsense from Tik Tok, my volume greatly decreased. Substack gave me an outlet to solve this problem and return to writing at high volume.
The schedule for long form writing content will be as follows:
Tuesday: Tactics & Combat
Thursday: Masculinity & Anti-Fragility
Saturday: Politics & Sovereignty
Sunday: Orthodox Christianity
This coming week’s releases are as follows:
Tuesday: George Patton & John Danaher on Speed
Thursday: Man’s Perception of Stress
Saturday: Undoing Domestication on the Domestic Front
Sunday: Who were the Desert Fathers?
Lastly, behind the pay wall in the subscriber’s version of this Substack is the following:
Friday: Weekly chapters of a book titled “Sleepless”
“Sleepless” is a book that chronicles two years of my life from January 2020 to January of 2022.
The events of this story came racing to my mind after being baptized, and I realized my road back to the Faith truly came in these times.
This is a story first and foremost that echoes the Proverb of the Prodigal Son.
It’s a love letter to the cities of San Francisco and Oakland.
It’s a story of poverty, sleep-deprivation, hunger, injury, and fortitude.
It’s a story of late night conversations between damaged bartenders, shadowboxing in storms, riots that ruined Oakland, prayers of repentance in parking garages, overcoming injuries, and the lifelines of God every man is blind to.
I wasn’t sure if this book was worth writing, but after scribbling down 500 words and sending them to several of my fellow writer friends known as, “greater.myth,” “i_candidus_,” “thesolarsaxon,” “trickster.kin,” and “1ntu1t,” they urged me to continue writing.
Bits of one its chapters have already been released on Instagram titled “The Mission District,” but this chapter takes place in the middle of the story.
This week will see the story start from the very beginning.
There will be more content produced behind the pay wall established in a weekly format very soon. This content will include original poetry, articles on art and culture, and exclusive podcasts.
I look forward to writing and speaking to all of you once again.
God bless.
