Steeven Says Stuff #8 - I Will Not Be Ignored!
Thank you for subscribing to Steeven Says Stuff, the newsletter dedicated to providing you with all the updates about me: Steeven R. Orr.
I’m a podcaster. I co-host The Superman Super Show with Ed Moore and I host Hither Came Conan, Growing Up Geek, The Comic Book Show, and so many more.
I’m also a husband, a father, a recluse, a writer, a neurodivergent, an introvert, a nerd, an expert at hyperbolization, and so much more!
Howdy!
This week’s newsletter is below.
THE INTRODUCTION BIT
It’s been a bit since I’ve sent an installment of Steeven Says Stuff and, well I wish I had an excuse other than: “I’m just so busy,” but, well, it’s just that I’ve been so busy!
Not only do Ed and I continue to get together every two weeks to record one to two episodes of The Superman Super Show, but Hither Came Conan is back on track as well.
Granted, each of those shows are released every two weeks, The Superman Super Show on one week and Hither Came Conan on the next, which makes it more like having one weekly podcast, but still.
I mean, when you include those episodes I edit each week for clients, then time begins to grow more and more scarce.
Speaking of which, yes I edit podcasts and yes, I’ll talk about that here in a moment.
But first.
CELEBRATING 300 YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS
I noticed this week that we have hit 300 subscribers over there on the Hither Came Conan YouTube Channel, and to celebrate, I made something stupid.
Enjoy!
I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!
I am somewhat of a paranoid personality. I mean, just ask anyone who knows me and I'm sure that they will tell you the same thing.
But here's the thing. I'm one of these paranoid personalities who thinks that everyone is out to get me or that there are bad guys lurking behind every bush just waiting to leap out and take me down. No, I'm more of a social paranoid.
For example. I'll send a friend of mine an email and if they don't respond back within 24 hours, I worry. I don't worry that something may have happened to this friend of mine, no I worry that maybe they've decided that they no longer want to continue our friendship. Yeah, I have problems, I know.
I'm actually using a little hyperbole there. I'm not really that bad.
However, recently, my social paranoia has met up with a perfect storm. For the past few weeks, it feels like every post I put up on social media is ignored. Every DM I've sent has been read, but no reply has been issued. Every email I've sent has gone unanswered. It's almost as if everyone with which I correspond with on a non-work related basis have all gotten together and decided to shun me. And frankly, that would be one amazing feat considering that most of these people don't even know each other.
Now I know for a fact that this isn't true. As a matter of fact, I found that one fella I'd been waiting on a reply email from actually replied days ago, but my spam filter didn't let it through. So I know I’m a little . . . off in the head when it comes to social paranoia, but it’s there and I don’t see it going anywhere.
So yes, I know I’m not being shunned. I know that. This isn’t a pity post. Instead, it’s a “imagine if” post.
Imagine if the world really was out to get you, but instead of messing with your taxes, framing your for murder, or doing something that could really change the entire course of your life, they instead just got everyone to ignore you and not be your friend.
Imagine if everyone you interact with, on an almost daily basis, outside of work, got together while you slept and made a plan to shun you. All the people in your life. That would be pretty insane.
I’m starting to realize that I really have no point to this pat all.
CRASS COMMERCIALISM
Have I ever mentioned that I have a side hustle in which I edit podcasts?
Well, if you’ll allow me a small bit of crass commercialization:
There you go. If you have been looking for a skilled podcast editor but don’t want to break the bank to get your episodes edited, email me, edityourpod@gmail.com.
My default pricing is:
One Voice Podcast: $25.00 per hour of original audio.
Two or More Voices Podcast: $30.00 per hour of original audio.
However, that pricing is subject to change based on the complexity of the edit.
Seriously though, all you need to do is send me that email, tell me what you need and we’ll talk. I’ll listen to the episode you need me to edit and, based on what needs to be done, I’ll quote you a cost.
If the one episode I listen to is typical of all the episodes you put out, then whatever I quote you will be your cost until such time as my rates increase, which they do every year or so, but only slightly.

THE PODCAST RECOMMENDATION BIT
Wizards the Podcast Guide to Comics is a podcast that’s been around for over five years and nearly 350 episodes, and yet I’m just coming across it now.
And guess what?
I love it!
WIZARDS The Podcast Guide To Comics is an issue-by-issue exploration of the 1990s comic book industry through the pages of Wizard magazine. On each episode, hosts Adam & Michael break down the hype and collector's mentality of the era by exploring the comic book news, superhero movie rumors, action figures and stories inside those shiny, chromium covers. It's a trip back to the most exciting time of comics fandom that you won't want to miss.
That's not all, you'll also get WIZARDS 1/2 mini-episodes, The Wizard Files interviews with former Wizard staff members, Bonus Specials covering Wizard spin-off magazines like ToyFare and so much more.
