Hi. I host a podcast. Why? Great question. Mostly because talking to myself in a room without recording it started to seem a little... sad.
This podcast is where I try to make sense of the world or at least pretend I can through semi-coherent rambling, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional guest who actually knows what they're talking about. Think of it as therapy, but without the copay. Or the healing.
I’m not here to change your life, solve your problems, or pretend I have it all figured out. I’m here because microphones are cheaper than therapists, and people seem to listen more when you call it “content.”

Why Does Everything Have a Membership Now?
Remember when you could just buy something?
Like, walk into a store, grab your stuff, pay, and leave?
Yeah. That’s over.
Now you need a membership, subscription, rewards card, login, and a free trial you’ll forget to cancel.
You can’t even pump gas without being asked to join a loyalty program.
Coffee? Membership.
Dog food? Subscription.
Inner peace? $12.99 a month, auto-renewal required.
We’re living in a world where everything is a service, even basic life functions.
And if you don’t sign up? Cool just pay double.
In this new mini-episode of Existential Static, I spiral about the subscription economy and why it feels like we’re being trapped in a never-ending cycle of logins, passwords, and fine print.
This isn’t just a rant, it’s a daily overstimulation spiral we’re all quietly living through.
