It happened again! I took the dog for a walk and took Kurt Vonnegut Radio along too. I loved hearing about Mike's writing. I think my dog, Mortimer, loved hearing about Mike too. Our walk took us on a mile loop around our house -- an area I think I know well, but maybe I don't know at all because, to be honest, I haven't really looked into my neighborhood with as much care and wonder as Mike brings to his subjects. Maybe someday I'll remedy that. But for now, it was a great listen and a great walk, and that's good enough. Thank you for this Mike and Gabe!
I only recently subscribed to Everything is Amazing (a tremendous oversight on my part). This interview was the perfect introduction to your writing and POV. Looking forward to digging into the seasons of your back catalogue.
Omg ty Michael you & Mortimer are shooting to the top tier of my favs. So thrilled you connected w Mike's episode like that, & thanks so much for yr super kind words! I texted Alex today asking for yr email so I can send you invite. So should be soon!
I really like the format of calling out a few quotes, and then you can listen to the whole thing if you want.
Mike (hi Mike!) does a great job of enlisting the reader in reexamining "normal" phenomena, kind of in the same vein as Feynman or Carl Sagan. "Substack Sagan?"
Omg ty so much for yr super kind words abt Mike's episode, Andrew! Agreed abt the Carl Sagan ref. And also thanks a million for letting me know you dug the formatting w few choice quotes in newsletter. Tremendously helpful. Cheers.

Oh wow. That is the kindest of shout-outs. Thank you. And hooray for backyard, out-for-an-everyday-walk curiosity!

I also just found your page, Gabe, and I like what I see so far.
Mike! 😭 Humbled by this. Thank you for the kind words.
What you're doing is a whole new level of amazing, Sari. :)
