Time Peace

I’m back from TO but I’m nowhere near to having a new episode up. I’m sure no one will be losing sleep over it but I put pressure on myself and don’t feel too hot about it.

The TV making experience was overwhelming and surreal. Luckily, the director was very talented and made me feel at ease, during a point in my life where things were not the least bit peaceful. (A lot has happened since then and I’m in a different place, thankfully. Sorry to be cryptic…it’ll all come out one day.) I don’t think it’ll ever be seen, thank goodness, but I’m planning on doing a bigger piece about the whole experience for a big broadcaster. So stay tuned.

Above we have a photo of my mum. It was an ad campaign for watches. My mum used to model…she’s really beautiful. Anyhow, the photo hangs in my parent’s basement and most of my friends who I grew up remember it vividly. Like, when I visit TO they ask if that watch picture of my mum still hangs in the basement. It’s one of those images that burns into your brain. I love it. Simple concept visually, but what an impact, hey? What a fox.

So I had to edit this post because I was feeling incredibly depressed when I originally wrote it. I have to start making a valid effort when it comes to writing on this blog ’cause some things are happening now that I can’t say too much about but they’re exciting and basically, yeah, my writing has to be a bit snappier.

Sowwy.

So things have been really busy lately. Like, this weekend I planned to take some time out and relax before going to Toronto next week. And maybe do some cleaning. Then Vice asked me to do this thing and I agreed and it turned out miserably. Never in my professional career have I not accomplished what I was meant to accomplish. It seriously bummed me out.

Tomorrow I’m taking part in TV making, in which my life will be dissected. Don’t ask. I’m feeling stressed out. I intend to document my taking part in reality TV so stay tuned for that.

I’m hoping to work on a short episode 10 today but it depends on a lot of things. If things come together, it’ll be a special segment devoted to other podcast hosts, including Drew and Dawn and Grant Lawrence.

In the meantime, here’s an article I wrote about cock snobs. Seriously, don’t get mad at me, male species. I just wrote the thing.

Oh you know what’s better than gaung to help numb you when you’re feeling depressed? This. I don’t have a TV and they had season four in the free box at work. It’s seriously the best medication if you want to tune out from the world and focus on something else. Like American chavs and wags. But replace the strapping footballers with your grandfather’s older brother.

It’s Coming

Episode Three will be a few more days. What you can look forward to? Let’s just say, Brit Pop, roadkill and magical crystals. Sound enticing? In the meantime, here’s an amazing video of a few kids playing a Black Mountain song. Enjoy. I did.

Episode Two

To listen to episode two click here.

First off, thanks so much for listening to the first episode of the People’s Program Project. I wish I could express how much it means to me and Aaron that you would spend your time listening to this collaboration. So thank you sincerely. Secondly, thanks SO SO SO much to those people who were kind enough to give me feedback. It was incredibly valuable and insightful and helpful. It means so much to me that you’d not only listen but spend time thinking about how this project could be better. Please continue to send your comments and suggestions my way: noneandonly@gmail.com

Okay, so on the second episode, we have three stories:

Traffic Camp tells the story of a dear friend of mine and her adventures at a traffic radio station, and the devoted following it garnered.

The Most Absurd Moment Ever tells a series of stories about some of my friends’ most absurd moments ever.

Numb but Alive is a piece I wrote as a final project for my writing degree in university, close to seven years (!) ago. It’s about my father’s experience in the war and how he became immune to the sight of death.

For the next episode, I want to hear about your most absurd moment ever, so please email me at noneandonly@gmail.com. I’ll read some of the best ones on episode three.

Finally, I apologize if I sound somewhat depressed in this episode. I’m dealing with some life changing stuff right now, which I might do a piece on in the future. But I promise more pep next time.
