A journey through a strange moods that comes over me from time to time, the feeling of sadness and romance in the face of the fatalistic knowledge that everything is lost.

This podcast begins with an interview. An interview of a girl who had to move to Ireland and support her family at 22 - a nice inversion of the millennial dilemma. This is followed by the first act.

Kiddo, our hero, is in conflict with Dad - much like the conflict between the millennial youth and the baby boomers. The eternal conflict between the generations. The Dad who presents a conservative path forward through life and the aspirations of the Kid, who turns to the seductive message of Machina that "you can change your destiny". Unfortunately, Machina is also the personification of Evil

This episode first covers a broad stroke of issues. Human Dignity and Storytelling. Then I dive briefly in the Town that is the setting for the first act of the story.

This episode digs into the ending of the story, the transformed hero and the end of the world

Jesus... this is monumentally intense, but my God do I speak with passion

Articulating the main character. Extravagant and egotistical. I actually reallly enjoyed this.
