3 Days, No Food, No Phone
It’s Wednesday, late afternoon. I haven’t consumed a calorie nor checked my mobile device since Sunday night. I am nearing the end of a 3 day fasting period. I’m doing two fasts at once – no food, and no phone. I’ve done these fasts separately before, but never at the same time. I’ve also never fasted from food for quite this long before. I had done a 60 hour fast before — that’s dinner to breakfast with 2 full days between. This time it will be 72 hours dinner to dinner. I’m about 70 hours i...

Yesterday, a soon-to-debut podcaster who has been both publicly and privately supportive of my podcast asked me, among other questions, what I use for a hosting platform. I answered the question and after some back and forth ended the conversation by writing, “amazing how much of this can be done for free / cheap”.
Recalling that back and forth this morning, I felt inspired to share the platforms (and their associated monthly costs) that allow me to do what I do at an extremely low cost.

I have not included the costs of my MacBook Air, iPhone SE, WiFi, Superhuman (email), or Microsoft Office because, although I use all of these for my blog and podcast, I would be using them regardless. I am currently experimenting with Roam Research which would also fall into that category. Lastly, I did not include my podcast setup since it was a one-time purchase but it is worth noting that it only cost me $99 and works perfectly.
All in all, my recurring costs to maintain Blog of Jake and Pod of Jake are $21.75 / month.
Amazing how much of this can be done for free / cheap.
