- Radio Norm - Bullets and Poetry---3:33AM. - A police barricade in the middle of the roadIs keeping me from getting home for an hour of sleep,Before a shower and work again tomorrow.A dead body in a car, feet dangling out the open door.The blood is still dripping from one of the legs.The police let me through eventually.A piece of paper on the ground calls to my attention, a weird kind of poetry.You meet the right woman and suddenly you can't eatCan't sleep - you're losing weight and have no energyThe doctors tell you it's the insomnia, malnutrition and diabetes,But you tell them it's true love---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
- Radio Norm - Depression---It's after midnight, and I find myselfAwake.The night is silent, save for the low rumble of the fan next to me, and the occasional airplane flying overhead.Tomorrow is a few hours away. Tomorrow is a coffee shop on a side-street, where early in the morning you'll see ad agency women with big backpacks and 6-inch heels on the way to work.But right now, I have to contend with my own listlessness, and how it feels.It's annoying. A ball of frustration bordering on fury.That I am no longer me, that somehow the me that was fine and well is somewhere else, at another's beck and call.And I hate that. I built me. Nothing and nobody else should get to take it away, play with it, and return it how they will.I am mine, and every day I will fight for me until it's true again.---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min

- Radio Norm - At The Cemetery---Ā 4:30 p.m. - At a cemetery looking up at the sky.A talk with a friend that's both real and imagined.We are taking turns taking photos of the sky.Communication is complex. Complicated.Even if the message is simple it is easily misunderstoodwhen you have to read between the in betweens of lines.We try to figure out what shapes of the clouds look like.Surprisingly no jokes about the zombies despite our location.I'm trying to fill a void in me that has started sapping me of joy. Of purpose.Trying to find something to bring me back to life.Fitting location I suppose.We are sitting on the grass.We're not supposed to but by the time they find out it's time to leave anyway.Did you like Norm's existential crisis?---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
- Radio Norm - Norm Writes a Love Story---1:17 p.m. - A glass of whiskey by my side. Staring at a blank wall.The urge to write grips me.She likes the funny ones. The ones who make her laugh and feel alive and forget about tomorrow.He's in love with lost causes and the tragic beauty of things that cannot be.This story practically writes itself.A movie cliche written down letter for letter.Somehow they meet.She's different.He's different.They meet again.And again.She just came from a bad breakup.So did he.They'll be friends until they're no longer friends.Awkward kissing leads to an awkward relationship.Eventually it all falls apart.Her life takes her somewhere else.He couldn't keep it together.And then aliens invade and everybody dies.The end.Romantic wasn't it?---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
- Radio Norm - Waiting Room Fiction---1:05 p.m. - Waiting on a meeting right after lunch.I like to make up stories about the people around me.He wears skinny jeans, red crocodile skin boots, zip up.He's a writer, or he thinks he is.Last thing he published was a poem about the tragedy of the indigenousĀ and the encroaching doom of globalized culture.Every few months he tries to grow a beard only to realize that he canāt.Rinse. Repeat.She has black hair with green highlights that are in tone with her pink skirt.Glasses and tattoos on her fingers that spell out āget backā.Her story is that she has a perfectly normal family that she tells no one about.She tells people they live in another country.She doesn't need this job.She's doing it so she doesn't get bored.That part is true.The one in the corner is laughing a little too loudly.Louder than the others.When he talks he makes sure to establish eye contact with everyone at the table, a second too long.Perhaps its forced.Inside he's an introvert putting on the airs of an extrovert.Later he'll be tired.Later he'll find a safe place and rest.This is radio Norm signing out.---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
- Radio Norm - Vacation With Strangers---Ā 5:43 AM - Ā To call this a road would be a gross exaggeration.A flattened dirt path just wide enough for vehicles to pass.A tour van heading out of town with peoplewho are little more than extended acquaintances from work.A karaoke machine serves as an ice breaker as we pass around songbooks.Echo set to max.We used to be stuck in the same room together.Now weāre stuck in the same van.A vacation with strangers.Together, we are alone and vice versa.Suffering an itinerary packed with so much value,Ā thereās little more to do than get out, take a photo, and get back in.Next, photos with sand dunes.I remember the van more than the destination.Thatās what I paid for.Memories of a van and photos for Facebook.I was here. Look, Iām smiling.3 days of small talk and a thousand selfies.The hotel does not have a photo.It's dark, dank, and haunted.Ignore the growing stains in the ceiling.The random scratches at night.The blood in the cabinet.Iād prefer the safety of the van.The van is home.The van is life.This was Radio Norm signing out.---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
- Radio Norm - Spaces Between Knees---10:22 PM - Cramped.The number of vacant seats measured by the space between our knees.Passengers sitting back to back on what is effectively a newspaper on the floor.Somehow, thereās always room for one more passenger.In this proximity, nothing is really private.Iām watching a breakup occur via text message.Iād look away if there was room to turn my head.Heās tired. sheās tired. Iām tired.3 hours of sleep leads to the hazy ins and outs of clear thought.Each one a fragmented part of a whole.Sweat trickles down my back, a line of moisture rapidly cooling in the night wind.Enveloped in darkness.Faces illuminated by devices.And here we are entertaining ourselves watching others live their lives through a screen.My knees are digging into someoneās ribs.Thereās room for one more passenger.This is Radio Norm signing out.---Download the episode here.ĀDownload Radio Norm Season 1: The Torrent---channelfourteen is @chFourteen on twitterchannelfourteen is also on Google+but if you're oldschool, emailĀmusic taken from http://audionautix.comĀ---0 min
