Something a little different for you here, and something that I am delighted to present.
Long time readers may well recall that a few years back today’s contributor Frank Theodat wrote an excellent essay in praise of old time radio drama. Little did we know it was the beginning of something bigger, it was the planting of a seed.
Because you see, Frank has now begun to create a new version of those much-beloved old stories from the radio days. And so of course I knew that I would have to use the STSC to get the word out about this.
Some people lament the passing of things. Some wax nostalgic on the good old days. Others- though there are not too many- take inspiration from such things and use it as fuel to create new art for a new time in history. Frank and the gang of writers around his Pulp, Pipe, & Poetry project are a shining example of this, and one that we can all learn from.
Enjoy,
TJB.

Before this episode was recorded Craig said he wanted to talk about Airplane, Stranger Things and the Netflixification of television. Fair enough, I thought, though I did wonder if his new idea generation strategy was to just choose random words or aspects of pop culture and seeing if forcing us to find links between them could work.
Anyway, this experiment led to us talking about:
Stand up comedians not being able to see the funny side
Rubik’s Cubes (repeatedly and at a cumulatively staggering length
What Airplane! was trying to do
Lazy nostalgia and strip mining the past for content
English vs American experiences of the 1980’s
The highs and lows of Metallica’s output
Criticising Stranger Things despite not having seen it
Brookside, specifically the apocalyptic ending of this largely forgotten soap opera.
And more.

Some one in the STSC Community sent me a link to a picture of a man’s Seed Oil Exception Card.

Mr Men-ing yourself
Being famous to 15 people
How much of a ballache it would be switching seed oil for ‘safe oil’ on the fly

This episode was born out of a challenge given to Craig and I to a) not mention a certain social media site that we often bring up to disparage and b) to answer the question ‘how do you improve at writing?’
Along the way we talk about:
Substack as return to the 19th century model
Amy Hempel
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu analogies
Online advice being useless
Confidence in writing
Craig’s wrong-headed beach opinion, and the traumatic origins of
And more.

Thank you.
And this is only the beginning, so if you wan’t to join us and see where all of this leads then sign up below and secure you invite to our private Discord.
Happy Easter!

So here it is, the first (public) episode.
There will be no show notes and time stamps, but off the top of my head we got into: bookshelves, horse sized dogs and becoming Lord of the Beach, obnoxious on-mic pizza eating, alienating the audience, how to shill like a proper podcaster and more.
Plus there was a nice moment of sincerity from live listener Brady which will hopefully encourage you, the free-tier listener, to pay a few hard earner $ each month to join our secret society and listen to new episodes of this thing (whatever it is) live.
So that’s the pitch. And remember this isn’t amateurish and ill-conceived, it’s art. Yeah?
