This week, Nikki takes a nostalgic trip back to the early 1990s, when late-night television meant infomercials: Ron Popeil was selling everything from food dehydrators to spray-on hair, and people were willing to spend hundreds of dollars on kitchen appliances they might use twice. Shipping and handling was not an issue, and you could still select “cash on delivery!”Then things get even weirder.Nikki shares the absolutely horrifying—and somehow hilarious—story of how her dad’s bestie used his Ronco food dehydrator for …welp, you’ll just have to listen and find out.Nikki has officially launched NikkiSettelmeyer.com and is opening enrollment for her six-week online creative writing class, Write NOW! designed for people who have always wanted to write but keep telling themselves they don’t have the time, consistency, confidence, or accountability to actually do it.And then comes this week’s story:✈️ “The Airplane Approach” by Aparna SangamNikki continues her reading of Aparna Sangam’s hilarious surreal fiction with “The Airplane Approach,” the second installment in the Shitshow Universe Trilogy.If you missed Part One, Everything We Left Behind, Oliver was a corporate employee who got laid off by his boss, Gary Vance, after a soul-crushing day at work. He eventually finds himself in a bizarre alternate universe featuring a purple sky, two moons, and a frog named Dennis wearing a tiny necktie.In Part Two, things get even stranger.Oliver encounters floating fences, talking mailboxes, a soup-and-sandwich counter, and—because apparently this universe has absolutely no respect for the laws of physics—a flying spoon that behaves like an airplane.He also meets Milo, who seems considerably less concerned about the flying silverware than Oliver is.And then Oliver learns about something called the 11½-minute rule.Naturally, Nikki has questions.✍️ The Bigger Story: Why Are You Still Waiting to Write?Beneath all the ridiculousness, this episode comes back to one of Nikki’s favorite subjects: writing.So many aspiring writers say the same thing:I don’t have time.I’m not consistent.I keep putting it off.I don’t know where to start.Nikki’s six-week creative writing class is designed to provide something many writers desperately need: community, accountability, encouragement, and dedicated time to actually write.The class begins October 16, 2026, meets for 90 minutes every Friday on Zoom, and is intentionally limited to 10 participants so writers can build a supportive, meaningful community.Because sometimes you don’t need another book about writing.You just need to sit down and write.🖊️ We’re Writing.
