One man's quest to talk, in any shape or form. There's not much consistency other than the man itself, and the subjects can vary from anything to nothing.

Chapter 79: The Feeling of Burn Out 30.06.2022 20:17
When one extends one's ability and stretches one's mental capacity for creative work passed a certain threshold, the thought of continuing on that creative path will become arduous and sometimes may appear impossible. The feeling that one experiences at that point is a feeling commonly known as "burn out", and one can feel the reaches of it through time. Check out my appearance on "Stamper Cinema"...
Chapter 78: It's Getting Hot... 24.06.2022 20:20
With summer leaving the horizon and finally arriving at town, the weather has a tendency to be warmer than it was once used to be. With warmer weather, for people for whom warm weather is a true nuisance, comes a litany of questions and feelings. From harmless and fun like what cold drinks is one to make, to anxiety-inducing questions on Climate Change and Global Warming, and their scope.
Chapter 77: Sometimes You Need to Get Mad 16.06.2022 20:18
The feeling of anger is one that has a lot of controversy surrounding it, which makes it harder for one to express it as usual as other feelings. Though, the converse of expression of anger is the accumulation of it; and that might lead to unhealthy behaviors. So, for balance and for the good of one's health, sometimes anger is the emotion one needs to express.
Chapter 76: Catching Up 10.06.2022 20:19
When one is away from a regular conversation for an not insignificant amount of time, there are issues and points of interest that remain undisclosed. When one returns to that regular conversation, those points are in need of a revision. It's time when one returns once more, for the sixth time, to catch up on what has happened.

Special Chapter #4: I Wonder What Kamiab Is Doing Tonight? 20.05.2022 1:53:36
In this episode, I sit down to talk with a friend of mine situated in another country, Kamiab. We met each other in a group catering to Persian Whovians, and despite some incredibly immature interactions, remained friends and started to talk more and more. So we decided to discuss the current state of "Doctor Who" and "Star Trek", Kamiab's interactions and plans for the gaming industry, and some n...
Chapter 75: Almost Like Being in Love 29.04.2022 20:19
As the current season comes to an end, it brings with itself anticipation and resolution. As new journeys, exciting and breathtaking, take shape and ask for one to step in their way; it's hard to not want to look back and look at the desolate wasteland behind. But, sometimes one can go on not looking back or looking too far, when that one feels happy and content. When it almost feels like being in...
Chapter 74: I'm a Geeky Boy, in a Geeky World 21.04.2022 20:18
The world today seems absolutely maddening, and for the most part is it dangerously depressing. With a history of injustice and ineptitude and the overbearing weight of an uncertain future crushing one's hopes and dreams, every human being needs moments of solace and recharging. For some it takes the form of medication, for some it takes the form of physical activity, and for some it's expressing...
Chapter 73: Puttin' on the Ritz 15.04.2022 20:18
To maintain a presence online is a task that can bring burnout and doubt more often than one is ready to handle. There are many recipes for supposed success in the ever-connected world of today; but sometimes one is stuck between those recipes and what they are meaning. What does it mean to chase that success, if one is sacrificing their work? TGTBTI - Jafar Khan Az Farang Bargashte: https://youtu...
Chapter 72: Contradictory Thoughts 07.04.2022 20:18
There are times that one goes into a trance of revising one's thoughts and realizes a peculiar phenomena: One can believe in two contradiction as one and holds them as equal truths. Whether meritless or meritorious, the contradictory thoughts manage to disable some part of one's brain function; maybe as a defense mechanism or as a last tool of gathering control. Because We're Not the Same: https:/...
Chapter 71: A Bit Closed Off 31.03.2022 20:19
Revelations and re-evaluations can come from everywhere and in any situation. Sometimes one's friend tells an innocent remark that will bring out a truly disturbing thought, and sometimes one does things without realizing them until they are pointed out to them. One of these revelations may be that despite having a long relationship with people, one can still remain a bit closed off.
Chapter 70: The 15th Century 24.03.2022 20:18
Different parts of the world function on different calendars, and one such calendar remains to be the Persian one. With the year 1401 reaching the mortal coil, a new century has dawned: the 15th century. The new century, which marks the beginning of so much more and the contemplation on what has came and went before. Bill Making Stuff: https://www.youtube.com/c/billmakingstuff
Chapter 69: Nice 18.03.2022 20:19
Sometimes the needs of a joke outweighs the need of clarity. When a joke stares at one right in the eye, no matter how derivate or how repeated, its call needs to be answered. Even if that joke is as tired and overused as a number that every child from the age of 10 will snicker at, sometimes one gets to the episode with the number "69" on it, and has to just audible sigh: "Nice". Yorick Radio Pro...
Chapter 68: One Insecure S.O.B. 10.03.2022 20:19
Insecurity is one ailment that resembles the mythical Hydra. For each head one cuts off, two more sprung out more resilient than before and more bloodthirsty than ever. The Hydra feeds on negativity and increases it tenfold. So when one's life is riddled with insecurity it grows harder and harder to escape its ever present claws. When one is down, the shadows of insecurity run high. Bonus content...
Chapter 67: What a Wonderful World to Have a Quarter-Life Crisis in 03.03.2022 20:18
When a year passes in one's life, the prospect of reaching the end line becomes clearer. Though a birthday is a joyous occasion of celebrating the life that wasn't blown out for a full year, it is also a stark reminder that what remains is getting more scarce. So when a birthday is passed, it might have good consequences to lounge back and reflect on how one's life has been spent. TGTBTI - Sir Gaw...
Chapter 66: All the Little Things 24.02.2022 20:21
Content Warning: During the last third of this episode, I experience a live anxiety attack. It's nothing serious but if that makes you uncomfortable, proceed with caution. There are a lot of things, little and insignificant, that can add up to the amount best exemplified in a mythical mountain such as doom. When that tends to happen, it's easy for a week to pass by like nothing of significance was...
Chapter 65: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 17.02.2022 20:20
The strict British nanny once told the world that the word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is used when one doesn't know what to speak of, and sometimes that is what happens to one. When a week is filled with apathy and a sense of uselessness, and there are a myriad of issues overwhelming every hour of every day; sometimes the best thing one can do is to say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidociou...
Chapter 64: A S---ty Writer, a S---ty YouTuber, & an Absolute Idiot When It Comes to Discussing Art 11.02.2022 20:23
To end a relationship can be an arduous task, filled with an unhealthy amount of emotions pouring in from all sides. But sometimes that outpour of emotion can lead to words that not only hurt, they scar. When words that were given in confidence are used to humiliate and attack; the result may not just be termination of a relationship, it may be termination of a friendship.
Chapter 63: Uni 03.02.2022 20:18
Education is a historically fundamental part of youth and early adulthood. You are enrolled in a school to learn the basics, and you enroll in a university to continue those basics. Ideally, this historically fundamental part is a mixture of hard work and enjoyment for following a passion or a desire; but as time and time shows the world is far from ideal. Check out my appearance on "Story-Power":...
Chapter 62: 2022, Part II 27.01.2022 20:19
A new year approaches and with it comes the gratuitous task of looking back to what has conspired through the past year. What plans and what promises were kept and what was lost in the march of time; and what came without no plans and what is hoping to come still. A new year approaches and with it comes the plans, the retrospectives and the resolutions. Check out my appearance on "Politically Ente...
Chapter 61: 2022, Part I 21.01.2022 20:12
A new year approaches and with it comes the gratuitous task of looking back to what has conspired through the past year. What plans and what promises were kept and what was lost in the march of time; and what came without no plans and what is hoping to come still.

Special Chapter #3: They Call the Wind Siavash 31.12.2021 1:49:48
In this episode, I sit down (in person!) and talk with a friend who I've known since 2018, Siavash. We met each other through friends and acquaintances in our Art University, and hit it off with an obsession with certain movies and certain YouTube personalities. So we decide to discuss those YouTube personalities, an array of different movies, the end of 2021 and how the year was, and Siavash's ba...
Chapter 60: For Once, Looking Forward 10.12.2021 20:19
When one's life goes through cycles of depression and mediocrity, it might be often hard to ponder what is coming and anticipate that with glee and joy. But life is nothing if not unpredictable. Sometimes, out of seemingly no plausible place, there will be an occasion where one will look forward to what is coming on. For once in a long time, one will look forward to the passage of time. Wait, I've...
Chapter 59: Western August in November 03.12.2021 20:18
In a desire to dedicate a significant amount of time to one's favorite genre in filmmaking, it's good to orchestrate ways of integrating that genre into one's life for a full month. That may come as catching up on one's watch list, or organizing watch parties, or creating a self-inflicted challenge. This is the third option, this is "Western August in November".

Chapter 58: Duality of a Human Nature 25.11.2021 20:19
The residual emotional turmoil of a situation piled on top of another one can result in apathy and misery, and it very well can cripple any working mind. So it might be fair for one's brain to try and look at some surface level desires and short term happiness goals to try and soothe the ache. To ignore the bad is foolish, to ignore the good is destructive. Check out my appearance on "Broken Bulbs...
Chapter 57: Waiting for the Miracle 19.11.2021 20:19
Emotions are sometimes hard to keep under control. As life spins more out of control and insecurities and fears start to show their ugly heads, one's emotions start to wreak havoc on one's life. When these emotions get too rowdy, it seems like one's life is in dire need of a miracle, even one that would look like a disaster at first. TGTBTI - Sweeney Todd: https://youtu.be/9W42ECCBSo0
