Here's the live show we did 6/12! We had a lot of fun and definitely look forward to doing something like this again in the future! The full video version is available on youtube.

What are we?

We're a blog to promote podcasts and podcasting practices. We aim to be a great place to find new shows and share tips to make your own!

Is this just about [x type of podcast]?

This is about all kinds of podcasts! We might focus a little more on nonfiction podcasts, especially at the start, as we feel there are more communities on and off Tumblr for indie fiction podcasts than nonfiction. If you know of more nonfiction podcast communities, please let us know!

I have a podcast I want you to promo. What should I do?

Make a post on your own blog and tag it #podcast promo. You can also @ this blog in the notes!

I'm looking for a particular podcast. Can you help?

We can try! Mostly what we can do is post here for help, and hope anyone who follows us or follows the tags will be able to help, but we'll try to do some research on our own.

I want to make my own podcast. How do I start?

This is a new blog, but we do plan on getting some guides up! In the meantime, you can send us an ask and we'll do our best to help.

Disclaimer: While we have been podcasting for a while, we are not the ultimate source on all things podcasting! We always encourage doing your own research and asking other people in addition to any resources we are able to give.

Podcasts we will not promote:

Any podcast spreading/encouraging hate/bigotry, intentional or repeated misinformation, promoting violence, or similar harmful things left up to our discretion.

We are not able to listen to every single podcast we promote! We are going off of vibes and good faith first and foremost!

If you believe we have promoted a podcast that violates any of the above, please let us know in an ask or a DM and we will look into the matter.

Live Laugh Stuck

Latest Episodes

Missed a couple updates, so here’s what’s been going on!

We have our penultimate Rating Ship Names episode! I keep joking that by the end of the final one, I’ll have this whole audio/video editing thing down pat. And though I’m far from eager to make more visual heavy episodes (as I am not the hugest fan when podcasts I listen to switch to that), it’s a nice card up my sleeve for future projects.

Next we had our Live Q&A! Which ended up mostly being us chatting. It was fun for everyone to meet up in person! Definitely something I’d like to do again. Eventually I’m going to edit this for the podcast feed, but for now you can watch it on youtube! Nothing visual heavy, but Moosie did make us these cute little gifs!

After that, I accidentally skipped a week! We’ll just say that the live show (combined with the trailer I’ll get to in a second) was the content for that fortnight. Even if I haven’t gotten the live show up on the podcast feed yet. Whoops! But we course corrected and released at our normal time this week, more of our blind readthrough: Moosestuck!

Last but not least, the podcast finally has a new trailer! This ended up being a hit on tiktok, so hopefully y’all enjoy it as well!

Next Up

Two weeks from now we’ll have the final Rating Ship Names episode! I really enjoyed doing the series, and didn’t mind the editing as much as I made it seem (complaining is fun!), but I’m still glad to close the chapter on this project. I have other things I want to be doing that I’ve only barely been able to start before finishing this up! Which should have encouraged me to get it done more quickly, but, well, that’s ADHD for you lol

After that, we might focus on getting through more of Moosestuck while I work on other things, both LLS and not, but I don’t want to say anything for sure as of now.

Jax Elsewhere

I’ve started streaming every Saturday at 11 am cst on Twitch! Currently playing through Dragon Age Inquisition in preparation for The Veilguard coming out this fall! Doing a Solas romance for Extra Feels. I haven’t decided if I’ll stream TV and just up the schedule or do a personal playthrough, but my aim is to keep streaming every Saturday morning, even when I’m done with Dragon Age. It’s something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while, partially as encouragement to get through my vast Steam backlog, so keep an eye on it! And let me know if there’s anything I can do to improve the stream!

Other Upkeep and News

My first Tumblr blog has remained terminated with no communication from Tumblr despite my many attempts to reach out, and in the meantime, my second blog got terminated as well. I had one that I made as a back up and hadn’t used yet, so go check out Jax Yacks Projects if you prefer to keep up to date on Tumblr! My hope is since I’m only using it for projects and other non-personal side blogs, I won’t get nuked again, but we’ll see! I haven’t updated all the links in the show notes, though — it’s on my list of projects.

Links! Click them!

This is where else you can find me on the web! At least some of the places lol If you check out nothing else, come join the Discord! It’s still small, but there’s been a bit more regular activity, and Domi, Justin, and Moosie are all in it as well! It’s also more consistently updated than these newsletters, though I have plans in motion to try to keep this more regular.

Poetry Corner

Prompt: “Perhaps it is genetic.” Generated here.

It's cliche The promise to never be like them Which parts we reject Which we ignore

It's ingrained We can never know their whole The parts we never saw The parts just like ours

It decays Does the promise remain unbroken? Can we stop the repetition? Is this a cycle or self-fulfillment?

Montages of boredom and a terrible birthday. Our first 2 parter because we talked so dang much!

About

Live Laugh Stuck is a Homestuck variety podcast, meaning it has a bunch of different series and one-off ideas, including but not limited to:

Moosestuck - the currently ongoing readthrough with my friend, Moosie, who had previously only read a few pages of Homestuck and was vaguely aware of Vriska. We're in Act 6 getting close to the gigapause at the time of writing!

Gaystuck - finding all the moments where characters are are being at least a little gay, followed up by some select character analysis episodes

Fanstuck - I invite fan creators on to talk about their projects. Some notable examples include: The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, Polyswap, the musical Time's Apprentice, and the over 2 million word Stargate crossover, Stargate Alternia

Problematic Faves - I bring people on to talk about why they love their favorite (terrible) Homestuck character. Examples of characters explored so far include: Jake, Kankri, Zebruh, and Zebede
