Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates November 11, 2025 - My Countdown App, and the Online Shop ReturnsIn this episode of Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates, I’m pleased to officially release the countdown app with a point of view I brought into the world and have been using myself for many months: What Matters.

Also, an update on my own creative life, including some time alone, some computer woes, and things I’ve been developing and working on. This episode was recorded on September 23, 2025.

Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates August 1, 2025 - A Path Out of BurnoutHang out with me in a park in the gloaming (and the wind, it turns out, and the helicopters and airplanes) for the fourth episode of Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates, a podcast in which tales of one particular ongoing creative life might just have something useful for your own.

This episode, another car-cast, was recorded directly into my Pixel 9A phone, and… I’m on-camera! Don’t worry; I wasn’t driving and filming. These episodes, just like episodes of my previous podcast, Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, have been uploaded to YouTube all along, but all audio-only. Why get on camera now? Doesn’t that run counter to my goal of turning on a mic, talking, and taking the path of least resistance toward getting it out to you? It doesn’t have to.

Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates Matthew Wayne Selznick CreatesHere it is, folks: the inauspicious debut of my latest podcast, Matthew Wayne Selznick Creates. What is This? I talked about it in Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick 107. This new show is my platform to simply… talk to you. Mostly about creating and the creative life as I (attempt to) live it, and so, mostly, to do with writing. But not just about those things.

In anthropological and psychological circles, this is a variety of magical thinking… but there’s nothing magical about it. Jungians might think I’m talking about synchronicity… but not quite.
