Excited to announce that we have come out of hostile negotiations with our hosting on the positive side!
The Broken Wind podcast and it’s intrepid hosts return with EVEN MORE FREE SLOP FOR THE NEW YEAR!
We are releasing the entirety of our “Hell on the Beach” series (as much as is produced thus far) for free on Patreon.
**Our whole shtick is that basically we ARE NOT CONTENT CREATORS wretch. We’re a couple of working stiffs who want to have a space where we can be the people we have to pretend not to be to survive in the workplace. **
We’re mostly trying to cultivate a little cathartic space to kvetch about the crimes and goof-ups of this dying empire we find ourselves in, through the coincidence of birth.
Long term our plan is to expand the franchise to be able to record and preserve the kind of human stories that are so fragile and get so easily lost during interesting times like these. We want to empower others to tell their stories and help find some kindred spirits in these murky and eventful times.
I also need to make sure my producer has fresh hay and oats!
**IT IS MY SOLEMN PROMISE TO YOU THAT $0 OF THE MONEY YOU PLEDGE WILL EVER BE SNIZZED UP OUR RESPECTIVE NOSES! **
Feedback may or may not be appreciated and we reserve the right disregard your opinion entirely!
We hope you give the show a try and stick around! Subscribe for bonus content like “the forbidden courses” where we deep dive on books and philosophical subjects.

I’m 45 minutes in and it feels like I’ve heard more sound effect than actual content.
The subject matter and analysis and flow is pretty good, it’s just broken up by what sounds like you fed the text into a script that selected one of the “300 Most Common Sound Effects” for every sentence, balanced to +10 dB louder than the conversation. This is extremely distracting and makes it get processed in the brain like reelslop instead of longform.
o7 Thank you for checking out the show! My co-host/producer and I are definitely still figuring out how to hit the right tone. Your kind words are much appreciated!
Seriously I think I would like that episode as much as I usually like the Dollop, if there wasn’t an auditory version of an emoji textwall overlaid on the narrative. The content is what counts, and you both clearly got that done well.
A bunch of video essayists spend hours going through a bunch of stock footage, changing what the viewer is looking at every 3-5 seconds, but that’s totally unnecessary too. Picking effects and background sounds that enhance the conversation with maybe one every 1-3 minutes is going to be way more listenable.
