Transcript

S.11 Ep.1 Welcome to Season 11 of Ditch Diggers with Mur Lafferty and Ursula Vernon! We try to be positive and funny in this episode, but stuff happens. We cover the Neil Gaiman controversy, touch on Ursula's move, and what our goals are this year.

Also there's a duck game in the background.

We explore the challenges of self-promotion in a post-Twitter world, the art of balancing work with personal life, and the importance of setting achievable goals.

Highlights include:

Ursula's new life in New Mexico and the joys of mountain views
The fallout from the Neil Gaiman scandal and its ripple effects
Resolutions for 2025: from organizing Magic cards to self-promotion strategies
The challenges of social media and finding new ways to connect with readers
The enduring appeal of escapism and the role of storytelling in turbulent times
