#PennedPossibilities 566 — What hobbies do you have outside of writing?

Because I'm a writer, I think reading also goes without saying here. I love reading (and listening to audiobooks) so much. So, number one, and at the top of the list: I'm a podcaster. I have a paranormal podcast named #PandasDen.
 
Random fact about me, I'm a huge gamer. To name a few of my loves: Call of Duty Zombies, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Layers of Fear, Diablo, Zelda, and The Witcher. I have a full gaming desk setup, love my Switch, and older gaming systems too, of course.

As far as gaming goes, I'm also a #TTRPG game or dungeon master as well. I've had some campaigns running since about '09 or '10 with close friends. I love it. We have or are playing various games such as #DnD / #DungeonsAndDragons, #CyberpunkRED, #Cyberpunk2020, #VampiretheMasquerade, #CallOfCthulhu, and a lot of homebrew stuff as well.

Aside from that, I'm a sports fan. That keeps me busy enough, believe me. I probably get my daily cardio minutes in during games or races.

Not to be forgotten, I love cooking as well. And photography. I'm (more than) a bit of a classic film nut, too. TCM feels like home. You guys know that about me, I'm sure.

Let me preface this by saying you guys know exactly how I feel by now about the current political climate and what's going on with big social media sites. I've ranted on here about Meta. A lot.

In light of everything that's going on and how utterly upset I've been, I deleted the podcast's Instagram (and my other ones as well). Basically, f*ck it. I'm done. I'm just so completely done. It suddenly occurred to me that I don't need to live like this. I don't need be riddled with anxiety. I don't.

I've hated Meta for a long time but I was terrified of what would happen if I didn't promote on there. I suddenly don't care anymore. I made up my mind this morning. My first point, my friends are here, and secondly, my 8-15k listeners are going to listen no matter where I might be posting things to accompany episodes. Besides, I have a blog for my show. So, screw it. I don't care. I refuse to be on there anymore.

This is just a heads up for the future of #PANDASDEN. I mostly post about episodes on here, anyway. All that I'm going to have moving forward will be post on here and on my blog as well. I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm happier now that I've made up my mind.

Thanks for reading.

PANDA PRESENTS: SPIRITS & SPIRITS: NOT-SO-MINISODE #2

Happy (early) New Year from @aperfectsong and I!

I did a blog shout-out for one of my besties (AKA @QuokkaMocha)! All the love. @strangeseawolf's book is featured on the blog as well, of course. Go have a look.

@Firlefanz @paul @KurtHohmann @AnnaSaultron @HeliaXyana @aperfectsong @SJHoodlet

Just a note for #PANDASDEN: I worked my bum off last month to put out an episode every 5 days. It was a lot, and this month I decided to take a break. There will only be one episode on the last day of the month. Next month, we're back to the semi-regular schedule, 2-3 episodes for the month. I say semi-regular because it's hard to have a "regular" schedule when you have a paranormal show, content-wise.

I was recently asked where to begin when it came to my show, PANDA'S DEN. You should start with EPISODE 32 and move forward. I love those episodes, and they need to be listened to in order. You can listen to everything else later. Don't forget to check the #PandasDen tag as well, where I often post things about my show.
