About DMs
For whatever reason, I do not get notifications at all when someone is kind enough to DM me on here. I only remember to check every couple of weeks too, but when I do I will always try to answer correspondence. So apologies if you've asked something and it was like four weeks ago, I'm just working through every...

FURTHER READING
Here is a list of books, some documentaries and a poem we used to inform THE OCTOPUS series. I am definitely forgetting some things, because we've been working on this for over a year. A couple of these books are written by people with whom we had little in common politically but contained valuable info or an inter...

59 - THE OCTOPUS 13: The Future is History
"Back in the days of hippie simplicity, people liked to blame 'the CIA' or 'a secret rogue operation.' But this is a new enemy, unnameable, locatable on no organization chart or budget line. Who knows? Maybe even the CIA's scared of them.”Turn on the evening news some time. Everything ends.Sou...

Winter playlist ❄️ and a note ✍️ to you 🫵
I was going to make this an Anchor show and answer your questions in between the songs, but in the end I thought it was better to just put this together as its own discreet thing. No particular stylistic theme other than I enjoy taking long winter walks with music like this playing. Hope you enjoy.I want to say a massi...

Patreon-exclusive Christmas Special Q&A
It's approaching that time of year where all good podcasters throw open the DMs to listener Questions. Harvesting the ones we're fairly knowledgeable about and discarding the ones that touch on our shortcomings and outright fraudulence, under the guise of "I only had an hour so there just wasn't enough ...
TALES FROM THE GRAVEYARD BUNKER III
Technical issues have been dogging the show this last week, forgive the lateness of the episode. I still can't seem to post it on Podbean. Anyway, we stripped the special back to basics this year and I turned heel for it. Happy Halloween.
