October 29, 2025 The Sound of Slow Media: Dead Reckoning in an Artificially Intelligent World
In this episode…
Hundreds of typists in a secret warehouse turn intelligence into hardcopy, proving that even in a world of AI, humans still matter.
The Typewriter Revolution is real — Gen X rediscovers old friends, Gen Z discovers them for the first time, and everyone’s suddenly in love with the clacking, transferring ink to paper.
In these fushigi times, slowing down becomes a small act of defiance, a way to reclaim attention, memory, and the simple pleasure of letting words take shape on the page.

October 22, 2025 COVID Vaccination: Roadmap to Truth — Or Detour to Data-Driven Power Grab?
In this episode…
Endless piles of leaves, a Japanese Houki broom, and a crisp November wind reveal that even the most menial tasks can carry lessons in patience, duty, and unexpected satisfaction.
From suburban Perth, Western Australia to a quiet shrine outside Tokyo, imagined flights of childhood collide with the realities of adult responsibility, culture, and ritual.
In these fushigi times, volunteering is more than chores and community expectation—it is a meditation on impermanence, connection, and the small acts that make life meaningful.

September 24, 2025 ‘Ooh, You Smell Like the Nineties’: Time to Come Back to the Future!
In this episode…
A single sniff can undo decades, revealing that scent is less about fragrance and more about memory, ego, and the people we once were.
From neon-lit Tokyo bars to late-night train rides, nostalgia drapes itself in cologne, posture, and the ghosts of ambition past.
In these fushigi times, looking back is not mere reflection but an act of survival, a reckoning with the selves we carry and the people close to us now.

September 10, 2025 ...Meanwhile in Australia: Monkeys Run the Zoo, and ‘Blokes in Frocks’ Rule the Courts
In this episode…
When the scales of justice are swapped for movable goalposts, absurdity ceases to be theatre and becomes law.
From Caesars in togas to judges in wigs, history proves being a frocked feller is no crime, yet free speech now stands in the dock.
In these fushigi times, defending satire and plain speech is no longer comedy but it is civilisation’s closing argument.

September 03, 2025 Iran’s Alternate 1985: The Future That Should Have Been and Could Still Be
In this episode…
Iran’s freedom clock stopped in 1979 — but history reminds us that missed futures don’t have to disappear.
From nukes reduced to rubble to proxies in retreat, a regime built on defiance now faces the slow truth of its own undoing.
In these fushigi times, Iran’s DeLorean moment flickers — a chance to trade dogma for dignity, exile for ingenuity, and detour for destiny.

August 27, 2025 Rusting Civilisations: The End of Everything, and a New Hope
In this episode…
Rust never hurries, it just reminds us that nothing we build, own, or inherit was ever really permanent.
From empty Japanese ski lodges to rust-streaked shipyards, decay is not collapse but the slow truth we try not to see.
In these fushigi times, rust becomes a teacher, urging us to shift from inheritance to stewardship, from panic to care.

August 20, 2025 Slow News / Good News: Inside the Flick-Scroll Feed That’s Hijacking Your Soul!
In this episode…
We start with a headline in the form of a question: what happens when speed, volume, and outrage replace memory, meaning, and fact?
In an era hooked on push alerts and instant takes, we’re slowing the tempo to examine how the flick-scroll feed itself became the nightmare.
From the birth of 24-hour news to the rise of churnalism, it’s reporting built for people who think in paragraphs, not taps and swipes.

August 13, 2025 Welcome to a Global Voice From Japan — The Fushigi Instinct
In this episode…
We start with one word — fushigi — a Japanese word you can’t quite translate, but it shapes everything about the way we tell stories.
In a world hooked on speed and hot takes, we’re escaping the flick-scroll and slowing the news right down.
From Tokyo, it’s bold, curiosity-driven stories that — hopefully — make you stop… think… and see things a little differently.
