31:03 – Thinking aloud about thinking, projects, and projects to manage thinking that end up doing the opposite. At least, I think? Also times in which it’s dangerous to eat peanut butter, and the best life advice I’ve ever received.
Released September 2026 on Rubenerd and The Overnightscape Underground, an Internet talk radio channel focusing on a freeform monologue style, with diverse and fascinating hosts; this one notwithstanding.
2:20:15 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.
Continuing the audiobook version of my “failed science fiction novel” Severe Repair. This time…CUPLINE 7: HONEYSUCKLE ROVER and CUPLINE 8: IRREGULAR SHIRT, read by computer voice “Azure Harper MAI-Voice-2”.
I wrote Severe Repair something like 20 to 35 years ago (it being 2026 now). Listening to the computer voice read it is a real trip. I’m struck by both how awesome and how truly awful different parts of it are. In this part especially, I really dug some parts, but other parts were very difficult to listen to. Well, it isn’t called a “failed science fiction novel” for nothing. It really is a spectacular failure, which it could never be if it wasn’t full of so much potential, ultimately wasted.
Note that this part contains some adult subject matter.
