| Episode #2: The union of onions, the trouble with windows and the importance of niche environments and reasonable adjustments | 30 Aug 2025 | 00:37:37 | |
In this episode I enjoy following the random gifts of a dyslexic mind and reflect on some of the comments that people made about my "create windows into your world" philosophy in episode one. I also explore the idea of "niche environments" and "reasonable adjustments" as important considerations for anyone wanting to nurture their own spontaneous self-expression.

| Episode #1: An accidental podcast, the carcinisation of tech and four lightly held philosophies for living a creative life | 23 Aug 2025 | 00:33:34 | |
In this episode I realise that in attempting to make an accessible audio version of my Substack that I have accidentally created a podcast. Maybe. I also consider the idea that all apps and digital platforms are evolving to eventually become the same thing (a bit like the evolutionary theory of carcinisation where everything becomes a crab) and I share my "Four lightly held philosophies for living a creative life" from an article I forgot I wrote a number of years back.
