I am not wise, but I can always learn

I've started putting podcasts on CDs and I keep them in a folio in my car. My collection is small but so far (off the top of my head) I've got:

The Tower

Camlann

The Vesta Clinic

Generation Crossing

Mina's Story

Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop

Anamnesis

The Dungeon Economic Model

Inn Between, S1

Stories from Ylelmore, S1 (this one I actually bought from ItMe directly and came with its own little folder!)

And next on my list are:

SINKHOLE

North West Footwear Database

Absolutely No Adventures

Janus Descending

Sidequesting

I buy them off Bandcamp on Bandcamp Fridays when available, or just pull them out of my podcatcher's files when not. They're great if I'm driving out to the field and run out of downloads or signal and I enjoy getting to flip through.

I also have exactly one episode of The Sheridan Tapes on cassette.

How hard is it to dive in front of an arrow to save your loved one?

Feat: most of the cast of min-maxed (minus Jacques who apparently wants to look after his body, and Megan who wanted to let the boys have their moment) and several of their partners!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch a D&D game with these nerds…

After celebrating our 10th anniversary last year with a sell-out spectacular, Wooden Overcoats returns to London Podcast Festival with a brand-new episode, never seen or heard before.

When their latest funeral goes wrong, the Funn twins get trapped inside an experimental space capsule – as it blasts off on its maiden voyage to the Moon! Can Georgie take one big step for the Funns by working with their rival Eric to bring them back to Piffling?

Blending H.G. Wells with P.G. Wodehouse, these unusual events are drawn from another unpublished chapter of Madeleine’s Memoirs of a Funeral House Mouse.

And writing is a very romanticized field, so is basically everything/anything creative. There are many stories about passionate painters and sculptors and poets.

But I have never ever managed to be passionate to the end of a project. Never. There are parts where passion is rekindled, where I enjoy what I am doing and it is great and beautiful and lovely. I do love putting together dialogue edits and suddenly hearing people having a conversation instead of me repeating lines in a room. I love how things sound after I add the sound design.

But I think there's a very large part of writing that is closer to marriage or a dedicated friendship, where I am doing it because I choose to. I finish projects because it is an active decision I make over and over and over again. Even if, at times, it feels more like a chore to be done than a passion to be swept away by.

I finish projects because somewhere in me, I think it's a task worth doing for the sake of doing. And sometimes it just fucking sucks. Sometimes I hate writing, sometimes I have to drag myself to the microphone or psych myself up to do sound design.

Sometimes writing is a job and you just have to keep plugging away until it's time to clock out and you feel like you're free. And other times it is what everyone says it is, it is magical, and beautiful, and easy and fun.
