Limited Duty: Recent Episodes
Brian Auker
This is my first attempt at a podcast. I’m doing my patriotic duty to fight COVID-19 by losing my job and staying at home, washing my hands as much as reasonably possible. I promise I’ll talk at some point Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brian-auker/support
Interview from “Fox and Fiends” (incorrect spelling on purpose) plays in the background while my father, who had two massive strokes, talks in the foreground. 🤷🏼♂️

My dad had a stroke in 2011. He repeats himself constantly. Occasionally a new memory surfaces, and I’m trying to capture as much as I can while he’s still somewhat lucid.

The 2020 election is the most important of our lives. The choice is between a rapid descent into fascism and crony corruption or Joe Biden. I mean, come the fuck on! Nobody is excitin’ for Biden, or whatever dumb slogan they have this week. The only reason you have to support Trump is if you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars and you don’t believe in paying taxes or if you own a huge company and you want easier ways to dump toxins into our waterways or if you’re just a dumb as fuck backwoods (or Main Street) racist and you think the Blacks and Mexicans have started getting uppity and you’re sick and tired of heterosexual white Christians being persecuted. If you chose the last one, congratulations, you’re a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person. 🤷🏼♂️

My father talks and talks. He repeats all of these things every day at least a hundred times each.

My first with original words. I was almost done recording this when news of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death hit me like a freight train. Please excuse the shakiness of my voice, as I was literally fighting back tears.

🥁I made the music with Garage Band and my tiny 25-note keyboard. 🎹 The section of Fast Food Nation was chosen completely at random to test my audio quality. If you haven’t read it, do your self a favor and get a copy! Thanks!

Layers of GarageBand. Single passage chosen at random from “Watchmen.” Definitely more experimental than anything I’ve written/played in a while. 🤘🏼🤷🏼♂️❤️

I’ve finally figured out to record and mix my voice with the audio from the “music” I make on an old laptop, with GarageBand and a tiny little 25 note keyboard. I’m working on writing some concise content that I’ll add that week. I just don’t want to have my first actual speaking podcast consist of me saying “So... not sure what to say.”

I always start every novel I write by painting the cover art first. Doesn’t everyone?

Like everyone, I’m doing my patriotic duty to fight COVID-19 by losing my job and spending as much time at home as possible.
