    CAVE MAN - A short story


    The longest short story yet fills the whole of this one off episode.

    Based in the town of Mansfield where I grew up,

    it charts the fall of a man with too much time on his hands.


    This episode was very kindly mixed and mastered by the incredibly talented Nikolai Yonker

    Thanks for that Nik xxxx


    I hope you like.

  • QUARENTINE

    QUARENTINE

    Mostly written back in 2020 when it was all kicking off something rotten. The world was going to hell but on a personal level, I had a great time.

    I would wake up in the morning, do a 5k run, get home, pop some modafinil, start microdosing, jump on the electric typewriter...

    and this is the kind of stuff that came out. A good time really.

    Worse has been the culture shock of returning bit by bit to a mode of social engagement. PEOPLE.

    With their own names and faces and thoughts, independent of YOURS. Horrid really. But so it goes.

    Todays show contains a long story, a poem, a interview and a ... song? I like this episode a lot. Especially the last bit.

    1. THE SICKNESS
    2. Wine
    3. Clique
    4. Dead cat blues

  • TO THE DOGS

    DOGS

    What are dogs? No one really knows. They dont exist in the wild.

    They are getting smaller every year. Their shit makes children blind, but people let them lick their own face.

    Do YOU have a dog in your house? Why is that?


    All these questions and more are not answered at all in this very episode

    Instead, the episode comprises of two short stories;

    1. THE DOGS
    2. DOG PIANO

    The first of which contains the musical styles of MAIDEN aka Bartek Szadura.

    Thanks for that Bart.
