AMP will be no more as of 10/31/2023. I’m still waiting on my last payment from them for hosting shows. Le sigh. It was a truly great gig while it lasted. Lots of great music, great people, even a lot of new friends made. What more can you ask for?

AMP by Amazon music was a fun platform. I will miss the playful interaction with a steady group of a few dozen people who I got to know reasonably well, all while earning a decent hourly wage. Several folks have moved their shows to StationHead, which has a far less lucrative payment model. I have been thinking about how I might work a StationHead show into my busy slate of work. Between the coffee shop, narrating an audiobook (the sequel to this one), Unicorn Puzzles YouTube channel, and other work-at-home projects, I can see some opportunities…but the lack of actual immediate income from the shows makes it lower priority, you know?

One thing I’m picking up more of now that AMP is taking less bandwidth in my life is writing product reviews and doing sponsored posts. Tonight I wrote a review of Four Sigmatic’s Think organic coffee. If you’re interested in mushrooms and herbalism, you might like this product line. (I liked the elixir best). See pics and read my review on Instagram or Facebook, or just jump right to the coffee and all the Amazon reviews here.

And if you’re into homemade vanilla extract, stay tuned. I have a review coming up soon from a company that graciously sent me some beans to try out.

Tomorrow, back to school! And back to narrating Miss Fitz and the Hot Patchouli Murder. I’m looking forward to it.

I’ll miss AMP, but what do you think about Stationhead? Ever tried it out?
