Hello, this is producer Nowah writing you.
Last Sunday night, Jason spoke with Taylor from Denver. It was my favorite “episode” of Jason Sims Is Calling You that we’ve done to date. Two of the most thoughtful people I know having a genuinely funny and poignant conversation. The phone call did not record. It is lost for good. There will be no new episode this week. I am a big baby so this stings as a major failure on my part as producer of this “program.”
In addition, if you know Jason or me at all you know that we are working on a multitude of other projects in our day job lives right now that make it hard for us to schedule with the potential guests who get back to us (1 in 5). We have decided that it will be better for the quality of all of these things if we try out going bi-weekly for a while.
We’re hoping the next call will drop on March 10, but if our regroup needs to last until the 17th or beyond, so be it. Remember that if you want to be a part of the proceedings, you can reach us at jasonsimsiscallingyou@gmail.com. Wednesday and Thursday nights work best, historically.
Until then, Jason will talk to you over on Jason Sims Puts You In Your Place. Nowah will talk to you over at Nowah Jacobs’s Can-Do Attitude. You can get to know lost guest Taylor on Twitter or her life-affirming podcast These Things Matter.
Yours,
NJ

One year ago today, Jason Tweeted the Tweet that led to the creation of this project.
An experiment: If you live in the continental U.S. & DM me your number in the next 15 minutes or so, I will probably call you.

Look, I don’t blame anyone for getting confused since I have two concurrently running podcasts with almost the exact same name. What follows is a guide to help you sort out which is which.
1. Jason Sims is Calling You
- An independent venture, created by me and produced by Nowah Jacobs.
- More of an audio project about communication than an interview show.
- Conversations with ordinary people, many of whom I don’t know anything about.
- No slick audio engineering, just recorded phone calls meant to sound like what they are.
- A new episode is released every Sunday.
- Available at jasonsimsiscalling.tumblr.com, on iTunes or via this RSS feed.
2. Jason Sims Puts You In Your Place
- Created by me for Slice Radio. Produced by Slice’s Dan Pritchard.
- An interview show with a definite format.
- Features creative people talking about how the places in their lives effect them and their work.
- We’re trying to make it sound the best we can under the circumstances. Dan can only work with what I give him & I’m still learning.
- A new episode is released every 10 days.
- Available at Slice Radio’s webiste, on iTunes or via this RSS feed.

Thanks for hanging in there.
