What if a person was able to gather enough data on you that they could more or less— “run the tables” — on what you will or won’t do? In the main character-guy, “David,” I wanted a kind of sordid, compelling …maven. Through data, he knows all, sees all… Read more of the ideas behind this podcast episode (and others) at mi Substack! *** The laptop picture at https://www.theattenti...

Sub Rosa , this production’s title, is a term I came across writing/developing this piece. Despite assuming I was somewhat versed (excuse me please, pronounced–ahem–with two syllables) in the English language… I had no familiarity with sub rosa.

In one evening, the McWhite family is exposed, and by their own son. Hear the family’s sordid words: who they are – and who they think they are. Did blessed Doudou, restaurant manager and the family’s closest thing to a conscience, know too much… or too little?

Long-haul trucker picks up young girl deep in Southwest desert country. Both have a lot on their mind.

If you go far enough down Nolensville Road in Nashville, you’ll see Kasukabe’s, a hole in the wall club open a few nights a week – and recently, Mondays. You might remember the spot as a sushi restaurant in the early 2000s — long before the “boom” in comic talent erupted from the artificial intelligence underworld. These “A.I. Mondays” are now the ex...

A couple walks along a trail for a second date. He, too affable. She, too shy. “Awkward” hangs in the air until he makes a move. She responds, in turn. On and on. Fun. Funny. Odd. Abnormal. Not okay.
