The Gareth and Billcast

Heading into #AudioMo for June 14 and I'm picking up on the extended conversation about presence and space in our blended world, with @katesparkle to @Omaniblog @willsh & @diva_diplomatic - but this time from the beach

In my #AudioMo for June 13 I reflect on the ways we can reconfigure public space as we adapt to Covid-19, and how we need those who own private space to adapt.

My AudioMo contribution for June 12 is a reflection on commuting - or its absence. And a realisation that it'll never go back to the way it was before.

My #AudioMo post for June 11 is a meditation on how hard it can seem to change systems.

Here's my #AudioMo for June 10. I wrote a thing and recorded it for @marcusromer's ShedX and so I'm playing the first part of it here and you can listen to the rest via Marcus The text http://www.astickadogandaboxwithsomethinginit.com/paying-off-our-ecological-debt/ The ShedX version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BRnUrirIO0

Day 9 of #AudioMo and I've been on air for @digitalplanet - and I'm reflecting on the importance of context and location, and how to make a space feel different when we many of us are spending so much time in one location.

On Day 8 of #AudioMo things are a bit pressured as it's a long work day, but I have the Reflection app to keep me calm, with generative ambient music and imagery courtesy of Peter Chilvers and Brian Eno. Stay safe.

The weft of our daily lives has been unwound for many of us since SARS-COV-2 found its human hosts. Do we take this opportunity to rethink the warp, too, or are we content to weave the fabric on the same pattern.

For today's #AudioMo I'm reflecting on a new book I'm reading, Cheryl Misak's life of the philosopher Frank Ramsay, and why deep reading matters in these turbulent times.

Day Five of #AudioMo, back on the boat. Another day, another recording, this one is less good quality audio but I hope the ideas are sound as I reflect on the nature of the network we all rely on. 

Day Four of #AudioMo and I'm outside Relevant Record Cafe on Mill Road with a coffee and a sandwich talking about masks and plugging the new book @GearsForQueers which you *should* read!

Day three of #AudioMo and I'm reflecting on the difficulties facing people at the start of their careers in a 'socially distanced' world.

Today's #AudioMo recording finds me on the roof of a boat thinking about cinema and remembering the Pixel Palace at Tyneside Cinema in 2008. As I was recording this Mark Cosgrove (@msc45) was posting his excellent meditation on the same topic - so listen to me, read him, and rethink cinema https://www.the-bigger-picture.com/articles/transformative-impact-of-arts/

It's early morning and I'm watering the garden and squashing cans
