I got my very first artists residency! in April of next year I will be one of the artists and scientists participating in an expedition aboard the tall ship Antigua! I've got more to say about that on this episode of the podcast (including a Kickstarter), a sneak peak at a new writing project, and the debut of a new drinking song co-written with Benjamin Franklin. Elsewhen you can hear what I think of King Lear and Bulletproof Monk. SAFTP is back!Kickstarter Link: http://kck.st/3BsNvmd

I built a fence. Elsewhen I've got thoughts on Jordan Peterson, Chernobyl, and a song about a Tapestry! It's good to be back, I missed you!

This week I muse about the possibilities available in admitting there is no hope of inventing anything new. Elsewhen I revisit a classic slasher flick from the turn of the millennium, open my mail, and reveal my favourite documentary film of all time. [The peeled lemons serve no function, I'm just being a domestic wee beastie.]

The week's episode feature's a book about Benedictines, one of Leonard Cohen's last albums, and my own shocking lack of intent when dropping out of university. Elsewhen I've got a new song about the shocking sight glimpsed via screensharing during a Zoom meeting.

Fresh off the presses! This week's episode has mullings on likeable baddies, a comic book full of loveable degenerates, a new reccordion of "Sweet Cron," and more outtakes than usual.

This week sees the return of guests! I'm so happy I got to chat with my friend Heather... in my van! Elsewhen I suggest you do things wrong on purpose, recommend some Canadian comedy, and share another brand new song! Plus, as a bonus, you get to hear my fake Australian accent!

This week I've got some thoughts on some gender-fluid scifi factions, a comic book more bananas than Doctor Who, and a ramble about emergent consciousness. Elsewhen there is another preview of my in-progress album, and my true feelings about Ludacris. Disturbing noises abound!

This week I've got some first impressions about a big scary book I FINALLY finished reading. Elsewhen I talk about increasing understanding through appreciating terminology, recommend a book for learning skills with, and tell the "Yogurt Story," on a reccordion!

Although I'm deep in the throes of reccordion my next album, I still managed to keep up the schedule for the podcast this week! Within you will learn what my favourite "candy" was in church as a child, what a "zero day" is, and how I deploy 2,500 words to examine how comedy should "feel." All that and a new studio reccordion of "Sweet Cron?!" It must be this week’s episode of the podcast!

This week on the podcast I have some thoughts on reading yucky books. I've also got a few recommendations, a ramble about a rambling comic book series, and another brand new song! I've been a busy lil' art gremlin this week, I hope you enjoy it!
