I guess we have to move forward. Or I do. Two for now -
Weird Studies - two academic types discuss the weird in culture, but we get to know them as people too. Each episode is about one thing, supposedly, but they do branch off in different, unexpected directions. I love it.
Imaginary Worlds - what it says, about worlds in fiction and art and radio and cinema, but going off at unexpected tangents you wouldn't expect. I just love it. Very professionally done.
I am drifting away from BBC radio. It's alienated me with its content, and four extra has changed its schedule horribly. It's been like a death to me. |

Am now unhappy with podcasts. Too much choice, always feel I can find a better one. But I miss the discovering of the two above. But listening to stories of other lives just makes me jealous, and when I get jealous I get depressed. |

We've been glutted with podcasts, and that bubble, too, is going to pop. There's simply too much demanding all our times now: there's too much content in what we've always had (film, books, etc.); and too much content in the NEW stuff around (podcasts, video games, VR, etc.) There's a grand nausea coming, a rejecting of it all: of all that society is throwing at us altogether. That moment where the angry guy sweeps everything off his desk with a primal scream of rage. How will that manifest?
My guess: War. People killing each other. Civil war, big shooting war - just, war. Death and killing. Usually ends up thus, looking at history. |

Just dropping in to look around. Got the house to myself and doing nothing with the time, feeling reflective, but it feels pointless sharing my thoughts with no one here. Just wanting to break the silence. |

Mark Samuels has died in his sleep.
I've signed up to Audible. Best books so far; Flowers for Algernon, the first half of Stephen King's Fairy Tale, Tarzan of the Apes (almost a spin on Algernon), and now Alan Moore's amazing Jerusalem (which was "free", and sixty hours long, and superbly read,).
Am depressed all the time. |

Current listening, Paul Auster. Excellent. |
