Happy New Year All! I hope everyone has had a blessed Christmas and New Year - however they were spent. We are now officially here: 2024. With the end of 2023 being a bit quiet on the newsletter side of things for Being Human, I wanted to start off 2024 by setting out exactly what you can expect from Being Human in the coming 12 months.
Every week this year you can expect:
A fresh episode of the Being Human podcast - the full works on YouTube, and the audio on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
A newsletter article published right here, in the form of the Weekly 500.
At the moment I cannot promise there will be audio recordings each week for the Weekly 500 as there have been previously. However if circumstances change to allow me the time to produce these each week, then there will indeed be - I know many people prefer listening to the recordings than reading the articles themselves.
As for the big monthly editions of the Being Human newsletter: these are not going anywhere. However I am changing them from monthly editions, to 4 quarterly editions to be published throughout the year. I made this decision for the honest reason that I do not currently have the bandwidth to publish one each month without significantly sacrificing the quality, and I would rather give you a real, quality, long-form article, health tip, athletic performance tip, etc. 4 times a year, than 12 half-arsed ones.
So that is the basic outline: the Weekly 500 and podcast episode each week, and the full format newsletter every quarter.
Can you (or someone you know) help me?
As I have alluded to, the ideal production output of the Being Human brand has got to the point where it is exceeding my current capacity to fulfil it. Therefore I am in the market to hire someone to help on the backend. I am looking for a content creator/editor who resonates with Being Human’s ethos and vision, to help with the following aspects of production:
Editing the raw podcast footage, to create and publish the finished podcast episodes and shorter clips.
Designing aesthetic and algorithmically effective thumbnails for the YouTube videos.
Creating short clips of the podcast, appropriate for social media.
If you or anyone you know is potentially interested in such a role, then please reach out to me by either DM’ing me on Instagram or emailing me at admin@arunwagle.com .
Thank you for your support in 2023! And here’s to the year ahead!
Thank you for supporting Being Human throughout 2023 - I am eternally grateful. Being Human is only just getting started and we have a lot planned for this year, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled and ear to the ground. Here is to a blessed 2024!
