I finally had the idea that no one else has ever had: Put the podcast playlists on the website.

​Let me know where to pick up my Brain Award.

​You can always listen to the podcast here and here. And from now on, I'll be listing the playlists here.

My goal in 2019 is to spend more time creating shows for you. Sometimes I need to do my Job That Pays and also Family Things. But now, with a few episodes under my belt, I feel like I have a good handle on how to provide you with quality entertainment more often.

One way to be entertained immediately, is to follow The Vertical FIles on Instagram. You won't be able to contain your excitement.

Thanks again for your support. I appreciate you being here.

You are not cooler than Robert Redford ever was. Not even Robert Redford is that cool. 

​But you're still pretty cool.

We're just two episodes in to the Vertical Files podcast, and your feedback & encouragement is very much appreciated. I feel like this is a thing I can do.

I'm taking a few days off, though. I'm not sure when the next episode will be up. If you are enjoying the episodes so far, please keep in mind that it's a little bit of a process for me to create the podcast, and I think your patience will pay off as I create a show that meets the exceedingly high standards of The Internet. 

Once again, I appreciate all the feedback and so many listeners sharing what they've found here. I support you in your quest to become even cooler than Robert Redford, although we both know that that isn't remotely achievable.
