The writing course I’m doing at the moment stresse the idea that riters don’t write in isolation (splendored or otherwise). If you’re struggling with the elegy, get some feedback!

Take a break from the podcast, let’s hear ‘Get Shrekked II’ and come back to it refreshed and ready to fight. I know what you’re going through, so any pause in the…Inebriated Iliad is perfectly understandable., provided the gap is filed by a (relatable) discourse on why Shrek is better than Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit trilogy I can see, but LOTR?

All great podcasts should end with a series of cannibalism anecdotes. Somewhere, there’s a quote about cannibalism being the ultimate intimacy, which is the sort of thing I want in my earbuds as I’m riding on the bus.

A short show, but a good one!
