John Wick: Chapter 4 = pure entertainment
This time on Really Specific Stories, I’m joined by @ismh, who delves into the history of Relay FM and explains his shift to podcasting and running a business—all the while balancing the needs of advertisers, co-hosts, members and of course, family.
71. Unintended Hiatus on Lounge Ruminator
My song of the year: A Drawing-Down of Blinds (Orchestral Session) by Rob Dougan
If I’m ever in a bit of a funk or need some form of distraction, this is one of the best songs. Not to mention this one… basically anything by The Whitlams.
69. Review: Semicolon by Cecelia Watson on Lounge Ruminator
Here’s my brief, spoiler-free review of The Matrix Resurrections: an awesome and oh-so-satisfying extension of the franchise that perfectly blends the old, the new and the meta; I liked it even more than I thought that I would. 🎥
Recently over @HemisphericViews we’ve started a new playlist on our YouTube channel called ‘Virtual Tourist Corner’. @canion kicked things off with a cool video of Perth; now I’m showing off my home town of Wollongong. Check it out! 🙂 @Burk is next!
Listen to 68. On a Country Road with Andrew McLuhan on Lounge Ruminator. In this podcast episode, we discuss his poetry, ways of slowing down our digital lives and how to continue (and challenge) family tradition.
Joining Micro Camp live with @Burk and @canion on @HemisphericViews is a highlight of my podcasting experience. Thank you, @jean and @manton, and to all who listened to ep. 035.
Now keen to catch up on videos! 🙂
In episode 65 of Lounge Ruminator, my special guest @vincent shares his personal story of becoming an independent app developer, ranging from his earliest use of computers to the creation of apps like @Gluon for Micro.blog. Have a listen! 🎙 🙂
Lounge Bite: Small-file Aesthetics on Lounge Ruminator
If you listen to @HemisphericViews, you might have noticed that I tend to speak the least. In episode 028, I’m replaced almost entirely by the more beautiful and arguably funnier @NTKF. My position may be under threat! 😜 Check it out.
If you haven’t listened to the latest Hemispheric Views, I’d be grateful if you had a go at it! In the personality test that we took for the show, I was amused to discover that I’m an ‘orchestrator’. I think that it runs in the family; we like to have our way… and quickly!
63. Information Curation on Lounge Ruminator 🎙
After editing episode 025 of @HemisphericViews, I was excited and had @NTKF take this pic. Have a listen! @Burk is an American classic and the wise @canion gets emotional about filing.
Also one of our t-shirts would look great on you.
In 62. Three Films with One Idea on Lounge Ruminator, I discuss a shift in my podcast research, the shock of HomePod’s discontinuation and three wonderful films that challenge us to think differently. 🎙
If you haven’t listened to @HemisphericViews, now’s either the best or worst time to start. This time I suggested we go into it without prepared show notes. The result was 021: Ad Lib!. @Burk discusses Mars, @canion covers neckties and I chat about peanuts. Listen if you dare! 🎙
In episode 61 of Lounge Ruminator, my long-time friend (and former drama teacher and boss), Fiona Finley, joins the podcast to explain her background in theatre, the value of the arts and why performance is great for kids. Have a listen! 🎙
Looking for something to listen to this weekend? In Contemplating Telepresence on Lounge Ruminator, fellow Hemispheric Views co-host @Burk joins me to discuss hobbies, the ever-changing world of online work and education and the effects of open offices and commuting.
In ‘Playing to the Audience with Evan Kerr’ on Lounge Ruminator, my long-time friend joins the podcast to discuss his experience as a pianist and music teacher. He also shares his thoughts on how digital technology has been transforming performance and education. 🎙
For the first episode of Lounge Ruminator in 2021, @NTKF joins me to reflect on our recent visit to one of Australia’s most bizarre, niche theme parks, Granties Maze, plus other spots like Tasmazia. Listen on the Web, Apple Podcasts or Overcast. 🎙
In episode 55 of Lounge Ruminator, I explore what it means to have memories, how they differ from (and complement) history and how they have been represented in a particularly controversial, new film. 🎙
