Want to make a podcast? Well, Spotify's got a platform that lets you make one super easily, then distribute it everywhere and even earn money.

All in one place, or free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's how it works.

Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your phone or computer, so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today.

Then you can distribute your podcast to Spotify, and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

And now, video podcasts, also available on Spotify, may have seen a few of my episodes in video, for instance, we're having a baby, more to come.

With Spotify for podcasters, you can earn money in a variety of ways, including ads and podcast subscriptions.

Best of all, once again, it's totally free, with no catch.

And why is it rewarding for me to work with Spotify for podcasters? Well, gee, for all the reasons I mentioned above, this is the only podcast platform that allows video podcasts, certainly.

And if you wanted to, you could have Q&A's, polls, all kinds of interaction with your listeners.

I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters app or go to www.spodify.com slash podcasters to get started.

Welcome to part one of my chat with the inspiring Sid Bullin. Sid has a new book called Transelectric. My life is a cosmic rock star, and it couldn't be more of an app title.

Now at 62, Sid transitioned after a life of gender dysphoria. Sid is in a place of acceptance, understanding, and contentment that we can all admire and aspire to.

So while you're heading over to your local bookseller, or perhaps Amazon.com to get the book, which is once again called Transelectric. My life is a cosmic rock star by Sid Bullins.

Take a jauntie journey over to patreon.com slash Craig and friends, see which tier works best for you, then sign up, support the show, and get a whole host of bonus content.

Transatlantic breakfasts, solo and weo, and solo and so-ho, and so much more. And then right before, or perhaps right after depending on your schedule and temperament, head on over to youtube.com slash Craig and friends, hit subscribe, and make sure that you never miss any of the video episodes coming our way.

Every fourth coming show will be video, and there's a lot in the cupboard from the archive, so get excited, get ready, and now get listening to part one of my chat with Sid Bullins.

This is great, and I appreciate it very much.

I have to say, the gratitude in all of your messages and everything, I think is wonderful and also indicative of a person who has seen many sides of life, aspects that would break some people down before, you know, or without being able to come back up and also survive and all of them.

Yeah, you know, I mean, like of course your song Survivor is an apt.

It's like I said in the book, it was served to be the precursor of my life or however I said it.

And welcome, Sid Bullins. Now we are going to leave the intro in if that's all good for you, as I just slightly adjust.

It's fun being the one person studio, and you've been doing a lot of that.
