  • Ep 8: Picking Through the Scraps

    Episode 8 of A Place To Stray

    Podcasting about podcasting makes its grand, entirely accidental return! Stephen records an episode about AI, hates it, records a bit more about how much he hates it, and then records another section 2 days later to try and Frankenstein the whole thing together. This show is a mess and I don't know why you listen.

  • Ep 7: Prey to Godzilla

    Episode 7 of A Place to Stray.

    Following a template which is starting to describe most episodes of the show, Stephen becomes interested in something fairly silly and takes it way more seriously than he should. This time, it's Godzilla's turn.

  • Ep 6: Potty Talk

    After receiving divine inspiration atop Ireland's holiest mountain, Stephen finally pauses to ask some of life's most important questions. All of which just happen to relate to toilets, bathrooms, latrines, and other forms of defecatory receptacles.

  • Ep 4: The Salt Throne of Ireland

  • Ep 3: Pre-Tumblr Shipping Fiction

    Episode 3 of A Place to Stray.

    Captain Horatio Hornblower, of CS Forester's book series, is a character defined by self-criticism: Driven by anxieties that even those closest to him view him only as a failure waiting to happen, and completely unable to accept or believe praise of any kind.

    This week, Stephen tries to figure out why this series appeals to him, and logically concludes that it must be the big wooden boats.

  • Ep 2: Ball Knowledge > Emotional Maturity

    Episode 2 of A Place To Stray.

    Two days before the first episode goes up, Stephen begins feeling the first signs of a crisis of confidence. He decides to combat this the only way the patriarchy has taught him how: By talking to himself about football for half an hour.

    He also takes a brief detour to learn about the etymology of sucking eggs.

  • Ep 1: Like Episode Zero But Longer

    Episode 1 of A Place To Stray.

    Arriving a week later than planned and thus irrevocably messing up the original schedule forever, Stephen grapples with this being his second first episode because the other one he made was really, truly, unbelievably terrible.

  • Episode 0: Creating a Problem for Myself

    The introductory episode of A Place To Stray.

    This is a new project hoping to purge some of the various competing thoughts from my brain. If I speak a few of them into a microphone, maybe they'll leave me alone for a while.

    Think of it like when they used leeches in old-timey medicine to try and remove diseases from people. That's what you're doing for me, dear listener!

An ongoing personal project to force myself to semi-regularly (like every couple of weeks?) do something even a little bit expressive or creative.
