This Week in Hype: How to Make It On the Internet (As a Writer)
Welcome to another episode of the "
" podcast. If you've been looking for a podcast run by a functional alcoholic who sometimes talks about rap and other times talks about whatever the fuck he wants, good news, you've found it.
This week, I really spend some time with one of DJBooth's best writers, Yoh, to talk about the joys and pains of trying to become a full-time writer on the internet, what not to do it you're looking to start your own site and much more. Plus, I give away some shit from my house and ramble about Riff Raff's new album. Good times.
