What follows is a wee
bit about this particular iron in the fire.
A little what it is….
A little what to
expect…
Perhaps a nugget or
two to allow you to decide, “Yeah, this might be my cuppa” or, “Nah,
I’ll move on in the aural wilderness.”
What the podcast is,
in short, is a grab bag of Old School Western Martial Arts, Resurrected
Indigenous Ways, and & Empirical Musings tinged with a heavy dose of respect,
admiration and the occasional shined spotlight on Bad Hombres and Honorable
Hosses of yore.
In essence, it is the “Uncle
Mark reads you a violent bedtime story” version of the Indigenous Ability
blog.
“Mark, why
is it so short?”
Yeah, you may have
noticed the three episodes, thus far, clock in between 5 to 12 minutes—that is
by design.

I resisted
the podcast format for so long as they strike me, for the most part, as long-winded
BS sessions. I wager we all have friends; we can gather with them and BS ourselves
and have more fun. Hell, I’d rather sit on my front porch and talk to each one
of you as the evening whiles than yak into a microphone any day.
·
For every hour’s
worth of podcast listening time it strikes me there may be around 5-8 minutes
of import. Lotta missed opportunity there.
·
I figure,
if I cut to the chase my 5 to 12 minutes may have, perhaps, 2-3 minutes of news
you can use.
·
If it does—Target
hit!
·
If it
doesn’t, well, at least I didn’t waste your time with small talk and re-hashing
rants and hot takes of the day. You can shut it off, and go train, hug a loved
one, build a plane, you know, real stuff—bad ass stuff.

Besides,
as a longtime admirer of Voltaire, I have adopted his motto, Jusqu'au point!
He’s always better in
context, the below is him referring to lectures he attended [the podcasts of
his day.]
“[I
resent] the profusion of useless things with which they wished to load my brain;
my motto is, TO THE POINT.” [All caps in the original.]
“Mark, when will
they be released?”
The planned frequency
is one per week.
Haven’t planned a standard
release day yet, but if you dig what you hear so far, subscribe and the “when”
is taken care of for you.
“Mark, is there
anything I can do to make this free endeavor less burdensome?”
Well, ain’t you a
sweetheart for asking.
You can always support
the podcast with a donation on the support page, or if thou are more than a listener
hop aboard the doer freight train of the RAW/Black Box Subscription Service.
Support ain’t
mandatory, free teats are awash in the world. You know your own moral relationship
between freebies and free market incentives to providers.
“Hey Mark, stfu
and hit me with another episode.”
Can do, will do. The [Real] Gladiator Diet
Have a good one, Crew!
