Deaf people cannot hear a podcast. We need to see it transcribed. You are leaving out a huge segment of people who would pay if they received equal access. Thank you
Great piece, GK. And I admire you all the more for acknowledging that element of luck involved in making it in the arts. I would be the last to not also admire your talent, hard work, and keen self-editing eye.
But your Angel Mary had a good day and spotted your stories in the slush pile of thousands. What if she had a bad cold that day, or a boyfriend had jilted her the night before? The world might have missed Garrison Keillor, and wouldn’t that have been a shame.
Oh, and you pronounced “Sikh” perfectly. I checked “The Google.”
Oh my my. If not for Substack Sunday I’d have lost your Taxi , Algonquin , Crab cakes, soup and Jenny. Of course your book was bought. We all need your voice
Sikh is pronounced “sick” not “seek”! Give a kiss to my City. Best city in the world! Loved growing up there. Happy you’re enjoying it!
