Introducing JD's Rants

The Podcast Born From My Frustrations


Have you ever found yourself screaming at the news, ranting about social media posts, or just generally feeling like the world has gone mad? If so, you're not alone. And that's why I'm launching JD's Rants, the podcast that turns my frustrations into fuel for unfiltered, unapologetic commentary. Maybe you will relate to them. Maybe you will call me out when I am wrong. I hope so, as it is bound to happen. I’m not scared to be wrong. I’m not scared to admit when I am wrong. I’m not scared to say sorry. I’m not scared to change my mind. For that to happen, you better bring authentic receipts.

How Did This Madness Begin?

The idea for JD's Rants didn't come from some grand epiphany or a burning desire to become a podcasting guru. It was born from countless conversations, online debates, and one too many encounters with entitled writers and blatant plagiarism (but more on that later). But mostly, it was born from conversations with friends, when suddenly, JD (that’s me) would launch into a rant, either typed or voiced. I’d maybe realise a few minutes, or more, into it. I’d stop myself and say, uh, sorry about the rant there. The amount of times they’d say, don’t say sorry, I love your rants. You should do a podcast.

Wait.. What? Nah, I’m not wanting to go viral, or even try. Because….

Meme is from a long, long time ago. Still apt.

I realized that I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Many of us are fed up with the hypocrisy, the double standards, the sheer absurdity of the world around us. And sometimes, the only way to cope is to let it all out in a good old-fashioned rant.

Your Outrage, My Inspiration

JD's Rants will be a hybrid podcast, at least to start. I'll kick things off with a few hand-picked rants on topics that are guaranteed to get my blood boiling. But after that, it's up to you. The best rants are unscripted, off the cuff, full of passion. The first few, will be from the ones like that recently, however I prefer to be authentic. So, eventually, I want you, my potential listeners, to trigger me.

I want you to be the catalyst for my rants. Send me your most infuriating news articles, your most ridiculous social media screenshots, and the things that make you want to scream at the top of your lungs. The one that triggers me the most will be the next episode, with credit to the person who managed to trigger me. Then I’ll let the rant flow. I'll take your frustrations, make them mine, add a healthy dose of sarcasm and colorful language, and turn them into podcast gold. Oh, and apparently I also need to mention I have an Australian accent. I don’t have an accent, you do.

Think of JD's Rants as a cathartic release, a safe space to vent your frustrations and know that someone out there feels your pain. But it's also more than that. It's a community, a place where we can connect over shared grievances and maybe even find some humor in the chaos.

Where to Sign Up and When to Tune In

I'm still finalizing the details, but you can expect the first episode of JD's Rants to drop soon, within the next week or two, once I get all my ducks in a row. First, I have to find my ducks, I didn’t even know I had ducks, let alone I had to keep them in a row.
