  • What Keeps Running When You're Not in the Room

    What Keeps Running When You're Not in the Room
    2026/09/05
    Bob ran the invoices for twenty-two years. Then he retired on a Friday, and by Tuesday nobody could open the spreadsheet.This week it's a solo episode: three essays from the Radical Competency lane of my Substack, All the Fits That's News, read back to back for the first time. On their own they're about a small business I ran for fourteen years, a guy named Bob and my first newsroom job on the obituary desk in 1991. Together they turn out to be the same story, told three ways: the operating instructions we write without noticing, and what keeps running after we've stopped paying attention or left the building for good.In this episode:You Teach People How to Treat You. How four years of answering client texts at midnight taught me more about human behavior than any business degree, and why the fortune-cookie version of that phrase does real damage.Après Nous, le Déluge (aka The Bus Factor). Madame de Pompadour, knowledge hoarding and the difference between being valuable and being a countdown clock.Spell the Name Right. One sentence in a file on a green screen at the Tulsa World, passed reporter to reporter for more than thirty years. The best argument I've got for what work is actually for.Read the essays:You Teach People How to Treat YouAprès Nous, le DélugeSpell the Name RightSubscribe to All the Fits That's News, free or paid.

  • James M. Scott on Empire of Ashes

    James M. Scott on Empire of Ashes
    2026/08/29
    The bomb ended the war in one sentence. The real story took five months and a president three weeks into the job.Everybody thinks they know this ending: two cities, two bombs, one date, case closed. James M. Scott has spent twenty years proving otherwise. He's a Pulitzer Prize finalist, New York Times bestseller, and the author of Black Snow, Rampage, Target Tokyo, The War Below, and The Attack on the Liberty (plus Targeted: Beirut, co-written with Jack Carr). He teaches as scholar in residence at the Citadel, leads battlefield tours, and somehow still finds time to write books that make eighty-year-old history feel like it happened last Tuesday.His latest, Empire of Ashes (W. W. Norton), picks up where his last book, Black Snow, left off — and goes looking for the part of the story everybody skips.Before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was March 9, 1945: the single deadliest air raid of World War II, deadlier than Dresden by a factor of four, and somehow the raid history forgot. Scott explains why Japanese cities burned the way German cities never could, and how one Time magazine headline and some peer pressure from the British helped talk America into a new level of warfare.We also cover:Scott’s take on the “othering” argument for why the bombs got dropped — and what he found in Curtis LeMay’s and Leslie Groves’s own papers insteadHow Scott tracked down survivor accounts from Hiroshima’s archive that had never been published in English, and what it’s like sitting in a survivor’s living room Harry Truman’s letters home from the trenches of World War I, written decades before he’d need every bit of that experience to make the hardest decision of his presidencyWhat Oppenheimer got wrong about Truman’s personality (spoiler: the “crybaby” scene did some heavy lifting for the movie that the historical record doesn’t fully back up)The end of Dad Books?The Truman Presidential LibraryHistoric Missouri (chock full of Truman!)This is also just a great conversation about how a career gets built by accident — Scott went to Japan in the '90s expecting a gap year and came home with a life's work, one classroom conversation about firebombing at a time.WATCH the video edition — with archival photos from James M. Scott's own research, plus material from the Truman Presidential Library, Wikipedia, and other fair-use sources — is up now for paid supporters of Alex's Substack, All the Fits That's News.

  • How Matty Dalrymple Turned Substack Readers Into Beta Readers

    How Matty Dalrymple Turned Substack Readers Into Beta Readers
    2026/08/22
    What if readers paid to help you make your next novel better?Author, podcaster and indie publishing advocate Matty Dalrymple returns to Mysterious Goings On to explain how she serialized her seventh Ann Kinnear suspense novel on Substack, releasing one chapter a day for six weeks to paying subscribers.Matty walks Alex through the mechanics of the experiment: how she structured free and paid access, encouraged reader feedback, navigated Substack’s subscription quirks and used comments to fine-tune backstory, pacing and the mystery itself.The resulting novel, (listen in for the cool title), sends Ann Kinnear aboard a cruise ship under an assumed identity to contact the spirit of a passenger who died during an earlier voyage. Naturally, the dead man has secrets to share.Along the way, Matty and Alex discuss Substack versus Patreon and Kickstarter, turning real places into fictional settings, writing while on vacation and why every author can benefit from approaching publishing with an indie frame of mind.Watch the full video interview exclusively on Alex Greenwood’s Substack, All the Fits That’s News.Connect with MattyExplore the original Ann Kinnear Book Seven serialization on Substack.Find Matty Dalrymple at mattydalrymple.com, Facebook and LinkedIn.The Indy AuthorVisit TheIndyAuthor.com, watch on YouTube, subscribe on Substack or connect on Facebook.
