... paradise

Blake loves traveling and books. What a nice cliché. Born to talk, he gives us some insight into his idea of home and the twisted privilege that comes with growing up in a paradisiacal Australia. As he is a writer and poet, this episode is a thoughtful one with a lot of lyrical name-dropping or citing (as writers call it). What you will not hear are most of the loaded pauses he takes before expressing his thoughts. That would make the episode too long. Whether he is creating an epic moment with them, or he is struggling to find the right words, we will never know, but anyway it is a nice brain to listen to and a perspective that was missing in this podcast. His perspective as a white cis male person leads him to a different answer to my question than my interviewees before.

Enjoy and let your ears swim in his deep voice.
