A quick episode in which I talk about the Kindle Oasis and how surprisingly impressed I have been in under a week of use. It is a device I have avoided for years and I wish I hadn’t now.

In this episode I talk to Kirk Israel, a man I have known for many years, but with whom I have never actually spoken until now. He runs a personal blog called http://Kirk.is and also http://kirkdev.blogspot.com/ and https://soyouregoingtodie.com/.

We discuss the following and we managed to talk for 1 hour 30 minutes, but if time permitted we could have continued for a lot longer.

Kirk.is. What is it?

Have you got the ‘look at me’ gene?

Why does Kirk play the tuba?

What’s it like in Trump’s America?

What do Americans really think of the British?

Some more questions from you answered in this episode-

Why do you hate Android? Why are you an Apple fanboy?

You talked about Christmas in the last podcast. Is it gone now with the latest lockdown?

Trump or Biden?

Is the overall feedback for your work positive or negative? I ran a blog for a few months and gave up because of the abuse.

You seem to love watches and are quite vocal about them. What watch should I buy and what should I avoid? I have £3,000 and want a watch for the rest of my life. Also, I want to buy my wife a watch, up to £500.

What in the world are you most proud of? You seem to look back a lot and appear to be overly critical.

Favourite writer, singer and musician?

In this episode Joanne and I discuss the following (excuse the sound quality- I need to figure out the new microphone and spend some more time editing in the future)–

Do we actually buy anything on merit and do we actually like anything we buy?

Should we buy less and buy better?

Becoming melancholy…

How are we still alive!?!

Music by Tom Munch.

Joanne and I talk about James O’Brien’s new book, How Not To Be Wrong, and if survival mode is wholly a bad thing. The discussion meanders around a bit (far too long?), but I think she learned from me in the end! Note: Listening back to the podcast I seem to take an eternity to ask any question, but don’t worry. Jo is more than happy to pick me up on it…

We then touch on a future of no physical possessions and if we are at the start of such a movement to a near digital-only future.

Finally, we talk about the new Borat movie and how it made us feel.
