The Pod Files - Monday 7 to Friday 11 July 2025

 

This week at work I was training a newbie, so listening to podcasts at work on my Monday, Thursday and Friday shifts was tricky. 


Because of this I only listened on the way to and from work on those days, and included some of the listening I did on my two days off.


I feel awful doing this, but I’ve also cut down on the details of the shows listened to, because in honesty I’m repeating verbatim what their show notes say. It’s also easier to keep up with the posts if I do this. 


By just writing the basic details, and some notes as and when I have the time in my listening, it gives just what’s needed, in my opinion. 


If you prefer that I go back to giving more detail as before, please let me know, and I will do just that.

A Passage of Time

  Sunday August 10th 2025 -  I got in from the Saturday night shift at twenty past five, and drifted to sleep a little after six in the morning.  A minute or so after ten in the morning, I woke up for the toilet and looked at my phone. I noticed that I had missed phone calls and messages from my aunties Carol and Ann, as well as a fairly recent message from my younger brother James. They were all asking me to contact them.  I had a feeling that I knew what it was, but I didn’t want to believe it. I messaged my younger brother James, who then rang to tell me that Mum had passed away sometime around 7:30 in the morning.  I messaged someone at work about it, who let a Director know. I misunderstood a message telling me to talk to Wayne in the office on the Monday morning, so got ready for work at the usual time, and showed up at the office at 4:40pm for the five o’clock start, to find that Andy had come in to cover for me, and was told that I was also covered for t...

People point skyward, initially with hope - assuming Superman has arrived to save the day from whatever danger approaches. But their expressions quickly shift to confusion, then horror. / The figure descending from the clouds resembles Superman, but something is terribly wrong. His face is chalky white and cracked like dried mud. His costume is a backward, disheveled version of the iconic suit, the S-shield reversed and distorted. His movements are jerky and unpredictable, like a marionette with tangled strings. / This isn't the Man of Steel - it's his twisted doppelgänger, Bizarro. / "Me am Bizarro! Me here to save day by destroying everything!" he announces in...
