Chub Creek Podcast

A little Christmas Present for you. The final chapters of H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine”. Thanks for staying with me through these four parts. I really enjoyed doing it and I hope you enjoyed it too. Don’t forget to drop me a line in the comments below (on the website at chubcreek.com)

This is the part where some really exciting stuff happens, Eloi, Morlocks, burning matches, narrow escapes and terrible tragedy. It doesn’t get any better than this! Curl up and enjoy as we continue with Chapters 6 through 9 of H.G. Wells’ gripping story.

Chapters 4 and 5 of H.G. Wells’ classic novel. I have to admit I found a few rather racist passages troubling to read, and considered editing, or omitting. But in the end I realized it isn’t up to me to edit history, or Mr. Wells. It remains a fantastic story, and I’m sure H.G. would have different views today than he did back then, and might even wish to travel back in time to re-write a few lines.

Something different. This is part one of H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine”, read by yours truly. This includes an introduction, and the first three chapters. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it. More to come. Stay tuned. The Time machine was written by H.G. Wells in 1898. Please let me know what you think in the comments!

Halloween stories, Peat stories, Cast-On with Brenda Dayne stories, Cat Nip stories, Terrorism stories, and more. And less. Happy Birthday to my Dad! Today’s track was “The Chase After Rainbows” by Fonogeri.

On this episode, as I take in the breathtaking colours of fall, I do some parental musing, more endless meta-natter about Chub Creek, a lot more obsessing about bears than about Ebola or Isis, and at one point I fall completely on my ass. It’s worth the wait. Join me if you dare. Today’s beautiful ballad was “Homage” performed by Feist X Timber Timbre.

The annual tromp through Algonquin Park with my buddy Gary. We had a great time and if you’d like to share some of it with us, listen on. I dropped in two songs today, one of them was “Claris” by Fonetik, and the second was “Click Click (feat. Tanakasomething)” by Grünemusik. Big props to Brenda Dayne and Cast-On for all the years of great podcasting and to the many listeners who have come our way via the knitting needle. Knit like the wind.

Today we (drum roll) go walking on the trails. A few surprises though, including a guest performance from my daughter Mary, my son Will, Mary’s friend Bella, and my old friend Gary. Todays tunage was “Funkastar” by Mister Electric Demon. Download and enjoy it freely and legally on the internet, as my friend Marvin Suicide would say.

Many Canadian apologies, but it would just be dishonest to name this episode anything else. I was describing a bug, and bugs are on my shit list right now. I’m sure iTunes will iBoot me from the iUniverse. Ah well it would be iWorth it. Today’s musical interlude was brought to you by Tymphony with the track “The Tranquility Effect of Outer Space”.

FIXED VERSION - On this episode I reveal something deeply personal that I’ve never spoken of before on the podcast. I hope it’s not too weird. Also I talk about my kitten. I figure one of those two things might be interesting to you. Today’s music was “Come Back and Play” by my good friend Zeeche, (a touching tribute he wrote during Chub Creek’s four year hiatus) and “Time” by Young Wonder.
