hola comrades.


first off: THANK YOU ALL FOR BUYING TICKETS TO GO SEE THE DRESDEN DOLLS! the pre-sale tickets flew off the shelves and the public onsale is this friday. we are so excited. thank you. we will see you and hug you soon.


i'm recovering and i'm not even certain what i'm recovering from. birth? i'm recovering from birth. that was 40 years ago almost. wait - not that birth. i'm recovering from basically ALL birth. mine, ash's, all of humanities. heap it on.


i just spent a few days in upstate new york doing a photoshoot with my DAD and the awesome kyle cassidy, who also shot the cover images for "who killed amanda palmer" and "amanda palmer goes down under"... and it was FAB. and yes....the DAD record cometh. there's going to be news about that super soon. hints: there is going to be a london show, and a short summer tour in the northeast, and VINYL! and, because some of you weirdos requested it: CDs. we are going to do a pre-order and see what the demand is...then print. we're going to make a special patron-first edition of the vinyl. stay tooned. i still can't believe you guys want CDs. i will not judge. i will just make 'em.


meanwhile.


THIS PODCAST that came out today is pretty amazing:

http://designobserver.com/feature/amanda-palmer/39261/


it was recorded in NYC about two weeks ago, right before the bowie concert at radio city, with a little studio audience that accidentally included MY PARENTS which of course made it even more profound.


i know debbie millman through maria popova (the one-woman force behind brainpickings.org), who's been her girlfriend for years. maria has been poking me to do debbie's podcast (which is one of the biggest and longest running podcasts in the art universe) for EVER, and we finally finally made the time to do it.


so glad i did. debbie was a fanTASTIC interviewer. i love podcasts and discussions like this where it all feels very real and conversational.


by the time we ended, there was not a dry eye in that little padded room.


yes: it's LONG!!! over an hour. but trust me, worth a listen...and free on soundcloud.


i know. i know. i need to start my own podcast. on that note: all of these podcasts i've been doing lately (including tim ferris', which is still getting constant traffic) is INSPIRING. the day will come. my brain is churning. i'm ready to do this thing, i think. i need my own padded room. and a hammer. and a jar of pickled onions


more soon, beloveds

one of your best podcasts yet. shared at least two things with the best. 1) both interviewers spent alot of time preparing &amp; researching. 2) they use that to develop a list of questions that let the interview have the arc of a good story.

Fantastic podcast. Such a moving version of bigger on the inside. Thanks for sharing as I wouldn't have heard this otherwise. Loved your artist mom insights, inspirational. Thank you.

My daughter keeps telling me to dive into the world of podcasts and I keep telling her that I will, but I haven't. I am so visually driven that they bother me. Where do I look? Do I keep my eyes open or closed? Are they just for listening to in the car or at work (secretly)? Please help me here. I'm old and my time is short. Should I take the plunge? (I love you, Amanda)

Ruth, I listen to them on my commute, and in the morning when I color. Also when doing dishes or folding laundry, as an inducement to do dishes and fold laundry. They're like audio books that are all-dialogue. Or, sit on your couch and close your eyes. That works too. :)

I wasn't one of the weirdos who specifically requested a CD version, but I am definitely a weirdo who's gonna get one. Related: I went into a Best Buy last week asking for a CD tower, so that poor dude probably thinks I'm nuts.

I love this pod cast and I'm fussy. I have no tolerance for over done, skirting round the edge interviews. I really liked this. How deep you can go and how personal seems a thing that only Amanda Palmer can attain with her honesty and candor where other more self satisfied people of fame fall to the wayside. She has the gift, and yes it is an absolute gift, of being able to connect on a real and personal level with her followers. To take everyday normal human feelings and translate them into something tangible and relatable and REAL to everyone, in all walks of life. THIS is why I am a Patreon and THIS is why you should be.

I think of it as radio-on-demand--which makes perfect sense, as most of the podcasts I like are radio shows (On Being from NPR--which gives me the choice of the produced radio show or the unedited, usually-an-hour-and-a-half-long, interview--I prefer the latter option, as the conversation is always extremely thought-provoking and I want to hear EVERYTHING--The Current from CBC Radio One, The Documentary from BBC World Service...). Mostly I listen as I do other things on my computer, though the last On Being episode I listened to (David Whyte was the interviewee--I discovered him recently and LOVE his writing) featured a poem by Whyte (Sweet Darkness) that was so moving that A. I had to listen to it twice and B. that second time, I had to close my eyes and savour it. I've also listened at work via my iPod and earbuds (housekeeping is a good job, but I NEED music or a podcast to keep me entertained). I've also listened while doing dishes or cleaning the bathroom at home. Basically, you can listen anywhere. Also, there are video podcasts. I obviously focus more on audio ones, but Rick Steves has great podcasts on travel, mostly in Europe. "Should I take the plunge?" YES!

I listen while I'm driving (which I do a lot of), when I'm out walking, while having my morning coffee or folding clothes. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for the podcast! It kept me sane while stuck in the super LONG passport control queue at Heathrow on Tuesday morning.

I LOVED this interview with you. I already liked you, but some of your story parallels some of mine in a way that I've never heard from anyone else, and it has been a source of shame and failure-feelings, and now I'm realizing that maybe it's just that it was my creator-ness at odds with our social systems and expectations. So thank you for that! It means a great deal to me. Also, I loved your song + talk about motherhood. Solidarity! &lt;3

Yes please CDs! Because of the big ass stereo in the living room and then they can also go in the car and also in the kitchen for dancing whilst cooking :)
