Hey all!Taking a look at an older video I made back in 2017 in which I talk about the then Trump Administration Reality Show setting new standards for public discourse, standards that seem to have settled in now eight years later.

Hey all.

New improvisation, this time inspired by recent "free speech" activity over there in my birth country, but not really about "free speech", maybe about free things, maybe about how we're being made to pay for stuff, no, not stuff, let's say "services" that we hardly use.

Hey all!

A little rough around the edges, my first full improvised episode in which I talk about our tendency to follow, to drink the Kool-aid without asking beforehand what flavor it is, what brand it is, how much sugar has been added to the pitcher, just sip at it and enjoy.

Here are some links that might be interesting for you:

Hey all!

Just a short "back to school" episode to jumpstart Season Six of you're listening to radio revel, the Trailing edge of a generation series.

Scaling back a bit, just bi-monthly episodes, no scripting, no transcripts, just this late baby boomer talking about things that mostly baby boomers are going to get, but that other generations should be getting. It's not too late in the game....

This episode is the audio of a video I made for the you're listening to radio revel YouTube channel, under the playlist called Trailing edge of a generation. Go watch that video if you want to see what those strange noises are under my improvising the episode.

Cheers to all and thanks for listening.

Listen, like, subscribe and, most importantly, share!

Hey faithful listeners!Yes, it's summer and I'm on a summer break but still producing the stray episode here and there when the vegetable garden and the remarkably high temperatures allow me to.This week, the first of perhaps several episodes talking about the TV mini-series titled "Adolescence". There are spoilers, so you'll want to have seen the show before you listen to my comments.Hope you all are having a quiet and not-too-hot summer this year.Cheers,revel.Script and narration by revel arroway

Hey all.

Been having technical issues here, that's why this is a day late (and yeah, should have had it programmed weeks ago.... vegetable garden needs attention these days!)

Anyway, enjoy!

You can watch me record this episode on YouTube.

Hey all!

Nearly a month ago Spain and Portugal experienced a several-hour electricity blackout. Power went down at mid-day and wasn’t restored completely until early the next morning, though the majority of users had service returned in around six to seven hours.

We still don’t know exactly why the downtime occurred. A cyberattack has been ruled out. The most probable reason is a lack of a specific kind of infrastructure related to regulating excess energy produced by the successful renewable energy program here in Spain.

So, I talk about that blackout, how it touched Spanish people on a regular working day in April, how it touch me at home on a regular “take-care-of-the-garden” day. I manage to slip in at least one political criticism.

Hope you all enjoy.

A call to action, or perhaps half non-action and half action. A pleading to stop giving 47 the energy he craves while focusing on those who are working both in the forefront and in the background to implement an evil plot that will make most of us unhappy.

#donaldjtrump, #POTUS, #47, #liberationday, #tariffs, #trumptalk,

This is a fresher essay, written in late March, 2025, dated by a quick reference to the so-called “Signalgate” event.

Internet wisdom says I should make sure to get this online as soon as possible after an event I’m referencing, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true in my case. I’m not trying to get views because I’m talking about the latest squirrel climbing the tree in the garden.

This essay is actually about accountability, how some people are held accountable for their actions while others get off Scott free. How a lot of legislation is prohibitive and a lot of people get caught and punished for breaching those prohibitions while the ones making the prohibitions can gleefully ignore them. And maybe just a little bit of “Question Authority” tossed in to date myself.

#Signalgate, #accountability, #prohibitions, #questionauthority

Locked doors hide mysteries. Keyholes can reveal answers.I actually think this essay is about FBI discretion. I think that agents of that organization, with their target being a man, gleefully let a woman off the hook for more or less the same type of criminal behavior under her belt.

The man was being investigated for possible relation to an air crash. The woman seemed to be the "victim" of that same man's scheme at insurance fraud.Based exclusively on FBI interviews with the woman, I present a slightly different picture, a backstory for the generally well-known tale of Flight 967.

The tale of a woman who tries to shield herself behind the 1960s image of the good wife while generally throwing her husband under the wheels of the bus that she's riding on.
