I remember tuning into &#8220;Slacker Astronomy&#8221; (that evolved into &#8220;Astronomy Cast&#8221;); &#8220;The Instance&#8221;, a World of Warcraft podcast; and many others. They were like the cool radio shows that have mostly disappeared from anything other than public radio, and I could listen to them on my own schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Probably less than a year or two afterwards, I started thinking how much fun it would be to do a podcast of my own. I had several half-formed ideas, but never could come up with something that I felt strongly about. I had the smarts to know it would be a lot of time and effort to put into something that didn&#8217;t excite me, so on the back burner the ideas went.<\/p>\n<p>But like a Paul McCartney and Wings song, all those ideas abruptly came together a few months ago into something I liked!

Managlitch City is a place where reality frequently goes wrong in large or small ways, and where people make the best of it as they would anywhere else. On the podcast, a pirate radio host give you his perspective on the latest doings of the City, and we&#8217;ll use him to tell many different stories in the setting.<\/p>\n<p>I know the iTunes podcast directory isn&#8217;t an exclusive club, but I&#8217;ve put a great deal of effort into this project, and I can hardly describe the thrill of <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/managlitch-city-underground\/id968243798?mt=2\" title=\"Managlitch on iTunes\" target=\"_blank\">seeing my work there<\/a> for any and all to hear.
