53:50 – Join your host as he enjoys some milder Sydney weather! Talking about monsoons in Singapore and Hong Kong, wanting to live in the latter after it blew me away (metaphorically, not in a monsoon), slim Japanese clothing, water-retaining socks, always feeling the need to be productive, embarrassing nerd magazines on the train, old-school MP3 players, downtime, meditation, a rant about music streaming platforms, and collecting music again.

27:47 – Join Ruben as he pours one out for airline pilots, Australia being European in Asia, travelling with Clara, nostalgia for Singapore and working remote from there, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Bishan, introverts and Third Places, saying goodbye to a friend, Robin Williams, and mismatched tiles. Warning, I might even get half-serious at certain points this time!

27:47 – Why am I out here under a shelter while there’s a storm outside? Talking about the HoloCouncil, why am I out here, missing travel, it’s a bit windy out here, where I’d live if I had a spare billion dollars between the proverbial couch cushions, and why am I out here?

32:51 – Join Ruben as he takes an evening lockdown socially-distancing stroll as he discusses UniSA campus nostalgia in Adelaide, adventures with side effects, a freezing family holiday to Germany in the early 2010s, and an extended discussion on the merits and flaws of contemporary electronic microwave oven appliance design affordances (I think Dire Straits did a song about that, though in significantly fewer words. Custom kitchen deliveries, and all that).

55:49 – In part one, your sophisticated host attempts to make an Aeropress coffee live on air, namedrops his friend, mentions some Minecraft LEGO adventures, and discusses some listener mail from Oskar Sharipov regarding audio recording, OGG files, and independent production. Then we timeskip a week to when your aforementioned host walks around an abandoned Chatswood street late at night to find which coffee shops are open during the Sydney lockdowns. Mmm, coffee.

14:00 – A discussion about how my fervour for independent writing hasn’t translated into improving podcast imposter syndrome! Also RSS, distribution, how social networks have convinced people to only write for them, and related ruminations. Thanks for your patience while I produced this one :).

13:57 – Jim Kloss returned to the Whole Wheat Radio airwaves again for a chat! I was not prepared, and even started typing over it towards the end when work pinged me, but I couldn’t let this moment of Internet audio history go unrecorded.

47:35 – An impromptu discussion on everyone’s favourite comestible beverage conveyance, among several other unrelated topics. Recorded July 2020, only getting around to producing… gulp! Hey, that’s the sound someone drinking from a mug makes.

28:45 – A discussion about feline creatures liking me despite having never owned one… turned into a rant about desktop software quality, remembering Wintel and desktop Java, running OpenZFS on FreeBSD and NetBSD with cgd, BSD on an iBook back in the day, being burned by btrfs, BSDCan comments about home labs now being production, and wandering outside in beautifully-mild winter weather.

25:23 – Not knowing a place till you leave it, the fascinating triangular windows of the old Belle Vue in Singapore, faded knock-off Lego blocks, Albert Einstein’s travels, finding new coffee shops, apothecary tables, government posters, a 1990s-era glass foyer, and a borderline rant on my butterfly Apple keyboard. Recorded early May 2020.
