The OVALS have sent a report back to their Earth cousins about the 23rd Planet they’ve found containing life. I’m Commercial Hershel. This is a world. You might find it fun. The golden ring planet has been found in the fairy galaxy. So apparently there’s a fairy galaxy out there, a galaxy called the fairy galaxy. And there’s a planet that has golden rings around it made of gold. And the ovals send...

It was crazy. Someone should learn about poop before they can have an adult conversation with a person. I’m Herschel Sterling . It was a really nice day. There had not been a lot of fighting recently, and the food was good. People were mostly doing normal things. Sometimes events are so consistent and move along relatively smoothly, short periods of stability can be deceivingly long. One day, ther...

I would say using the notes below while listening is pretty fun. My father left me his car. That was nice. These are the things I found in there when I cleaned it out. I’m Herschel Sterling. I’m here to help. Hello, new friend S. García . Psychology and nature are an interesting combo. I’m glad the Brave browser has a built-in translation function. Thanks for the follow. I hope you like my stories...

A Short Story told in Super 8, and a rant about guns, the NRA and the Second Amendment. I kind of see this story as a silent, color film taken with a Super 8 camera. That’s how I see this in my head. Maybe use those grainy, washed out colors and filmy looking images you remember when you imagine this story as I read it. Before I show you the story, I have to preface it with something important. Kn...

Sensitive subjects can be sensitive. It’s hard to make oneself vulnerable to self-improvement when the first step ends in betrayal. This was a story I told on the fly. Good luck with the transcript, I really screwed up the sound. Thanks for understanding. This is a public episode.

This is from 2019. It’s a thing I wrote that fits into a lot of the themes of my podcast episodes. I will use it for notes. I have visited a lot of libraries. Let me share with you. You’re welcome. I’m Hersch. Have a nice day. Libraries are a glimmer of hope in a situation where a rogue, corrupt element in government has done everything they can to destroy society’s institutions. The Library conce...

I told this story audibly, without writing it. I must be getting better with that, because it only took a light edit of the transcript to make it readable. Are there only so many stories, that are all described differently? How many completely original stories do you think there are? I swear I’ve heard the same stories told a million different ways, and I’m sure I have stories that are derivative....

This is a Special Holy Dispensation: Everybody wants control. Do you want control? If you don’t want to control your life, you must be happy with the times. THIS IS A PARANOID RANT FROM A LUNATIC; IT IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, AND ALL MY EXPERIENCES ARE MISINFORMATION, AND I NEED PROTECTION FROM IT BY COLLEGE CHILDREN IN CORPORATIONS. You worked. That’s your money, right? You traded some time and so...

Captain Tex Skaarsgard is sure he sees something out past the Martian orbit, away from the sun. There is something oscillating, vaguely fading in and out of opacity. Hello, new follower Timothy Darrell Young BS MPA . Thanks for the follow. Timothy understands some of the things I discuss in some episodes. It’s a weird coincidence that he followed me. Or is it! lol. I wonder what Timothy thinks hap...

and a tangent down 80-90’s anti-corporatism memory lane It has been a long time since I’ve gone to cable news or social media for anything. There is joy in this. It’s really good, and I hope you will consider that there is a reason that the old clownshows are fading away. COVID gave us time to look and really see what’s going on. Maybe if it was all an evil plot, it has backfired. MENTIONS: Racket...

Humans were a Sisyphean species. The species that created OVALS is not. What We Know About the Species That Created the OVALS. (Objective Vantage Astronomical Laboratory Systems). We know they evolved on both land and sea. They function equally well in the water and on land. They can breathe air and water. We know that they have what we would probably call a unicameral brain. We know that they cou...

There are two parts to this. They have the same intro and it has confused some people who thought they accidentally downloaded it twice. We make choices when we get to the intersection of reality and fiction. I think everything is rooted in these four choices. This is a public episode.

There has been a lot of conflation. Some of it is on purpose, and some of it is just convenient for the political class. Regardless, there is no interest in correcting the confusion people have when they conflate concepts. If the bad definitions and false equivalences create more chaos, that helps the non-producers keep their jobs in government. So, they let it fly. Here are some terms that are of...

This is what a rock sounds like. Kit and Douglas had plans to play putt-putt golf with the girls. First, they were going to meet at Kit's, where Doug would drop off his vehicle and Kit would drive them to pick up Kelly and Florita. Doug knows Kit is home. The vehicle is there, and he hears some music, but not getting a response, he makes his way around to the back yard. He can see Kit’s head poppi...

This one is popular. Usually, I eventually recirculate less popular episodes to see how they do a second time around. This time I’m re-uploading a popular one. This is a public episode.

A brief reminder today of how people who associate free speech with hate speech have been mind-controlled. Episode dedicated to John Barnett. Smell the Inside of Your Nose. Do it Right Now, 3X, and call me in the morning. Please Don’t Equate Free Speech with Hate Self-expression is an inherent human quality that is not litigable. When the panic/trauma social media companies and BlewitTube censor....

Time has run out on the little town of Verymany. Or has it? Have a Flash Fiction from your ol’ pal Hersch. Michael Strange is the Troubled Minds Radio host. He and his show and that audience was the inspiration for me doing creative content like this. Here are new followers and subs The Writing Journal , Will Napolitano is a college student who loves to write. I’m an autodidact young man. I just f...

We make choices when we get to the intersection of reality and fiction. I think everything is rooted in these four choices. Stoetry , Mea culpa Christopher Meesto Erato. I got your name wrong in the last post. Thanks for your understanding. Now, we get to that place where our grasp of reality and fiction meet and we make choices. I think these choices are based on personality types. Different type...

Summary of Podcast Follows and is the Essential Content They have the same audio intro. Sorry for any confusion on that. It’s a fine line between fiction and non-fiction. Maybe two fine lines. Our interpretations of our experiences are pathetic, and that makes reality even harsher. How is fiction both an escape and an exercise? How do we use it to be better? This became a 2-part thing, and I guess...

In a sadistic society, the joy people take in other people’s suffering is mad insanity. People are taught as children that breaking the golden rule is a shortcut to success, and they are rewarded for it. Thank you, new free newsletter sub Diana Semlear . I’m glad you’re enjoying the episodes. You can always share my stuff with anyone. Also, I always mention my follows and subscribers. So now all t...
