  • Ep. 10: The Expat Variety Hour
    Oct 14 2024

    Episode 10 of A Place to Stray.

    Having moved over and (kind of) settled in, Stephen waves farewell to bi-weekly podcasts with a review of his first couple of weeks in the UK, and a glance through the things he brought with him. For some reason, unknown even to him, this episode balloons to over an hour long. Help.

  • Ep 8: Picking Through the Scraps
    Sep 16 2024

    Episode 8 of A Place To Stray

    Podcasting about podcasting makes its grand, entirely accidental return! Stephen records an episode about AI, hates it, records a bit more about how much he hates it, and then records another section 2 days later to try and Frankenstein the whole thing together. This show is a mess and I don't know why you listen.

  • Ep 7: Prey to Godzilla
    Sep 2 2024

    Episode 7 of A Place to Stray.

    Following a template which is starting to describe most episodes of the show, Stephen becomes interested in something fairly silly and takes it way more seriously than he should. This time, it's Godzilla's turn.

  • Ep 6: Potty Talk
    Aug 19 2024

    After receiving divine inspiration atop Ireland's holiest mountain, Stephen finally pauses to ask some of life's most important questions. All of which just happen to relate to toilets, bathrooms, latrines, and other forms of defecatory receptacles.

  • Ep 3: Pre-Tumblr Shipping Fiction
    Jul 8 2024

    Episode 3 of A Place to Stray.

    Captain Horatio Hornblower, of CS Forester's book series, is a character defined by self-criticism: Driven by anxieties that even those closest to him view him only as a failure waiting to happen, and completely unable to accept or believe praise of any kind.

    This week, Stephen tries to figure out why this series appeals to him, and logically concludes that it must be the big wooden boats.
