Experimental Stories

I had a very awkward experience recently. I was invited as a special guest on one of India’s most popular podcasts. The problem was, I don’t speak Hindi. And the host doesn’t speak English.

Technological achievement is a poor replacement for intimacy. Season 1, Episode 9 A few years ago I didn’t know anything about computers, and I wasn’t into slick cadets, except for a handheld electronic dictionary.

Strange thoughts as I take the midnight train. Season 1, Episode 7 When I lived in Toronto I took the late night train to work. It was quiet and we weren’t sardined in a metal box. Because of this you could allow yourself and your thoughts to drift on the tracks. Be careful though you may fall asleep, I’ve done so multiple times. Humanity is different when the sun goes down. Our though...

There’s an invisible hand at work within the cosmos, on this episode we’ll discover what it is.

The question, “what is a woman?” Shouldn’t be complicated, today we’ll solve the riddle. Season 1, Episode 5 What is a woman? That’s a good question but it should be obvious.

The appeal of Star Wars wasn’t the space battles and lightsaber duels...
