Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2024/03/03

In this episode I'm joined by my good friend Steve King and what begins as a bit of a moan-fest about how hard it is to advertise comedy shows in this day and age turns into quite an insightful chat when Steve brings up the way the band Phantom Planet (remember The OC's theme?) use their patreon page to engage with their community. This part of the chat blew my mind and immediately changed how I saw the platform of patreon. It's a great listen if you're a fellow struggling creative, and I hope a

Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle ·

2023/12/31

Terribly sorry about missing the usual Christmas / Boxing day upload for State of the Ramble, everything fell to bits all at once; I was losing my voice, had about 3 gigs coming up that I needed said voice for, and the first recording of SOTR2023 clocked in at a whopping 43 minutes AND to top it off I had messed up the audio mastering and it ended up unlistenable.But we rebuild! I was feeling up to recording again on the 30th, so I smashed it out in an afternoon and here we go! I hope you enjoy it
