Say no to niches. If you adore pick & mix sweets then you’ll love Five By Five Times, with different but related topics on revolving weekdays, blending creativity, resistance, ageing, neurodivergence, and hope. Sometimes just me, sometimes with special guests.

Plot Twist Play 5 | DeWintering

It’s taken nearly 60 years but finally I’ve accepted my nature as an introverted person, delighted to be alone. I’m no longer furtive about or ashamed of it. And the process, paradoxically, has got me slowly un-hibernating. Being alone is deprogramming in a frantic world. I can rejoin it now that I’m far more myself. Perhaps you can relate to this?

Cymru Conversations 5 | Steve Johnson

Steve Johnson taught at the University of South Wales for many years on outward-facing, employability-focused modules, partnering with external organisations. He also led its 'Community of Engagement’ programme, enabling ground-up routes of progression. Now ‘retired’, one of his main interests still lies in finding sustainability models for community radio in Wales. He hosts the Cardiff City Phone In and Creatrium podcast series, and works with award-winning on-demand hospital radio service YYFM. We had a wide-ranging discussion about all this and more.

Just a Moment 4 | Witching the Wounds

In this episode connected to the Five By Five Times Substack, I peek through the hole of what is unknown through the stone of the known, to explore the myths and meanings of hagstones. Read along here: https://fivebyfivetimes.substack.com/p/h-is-for-hagstone

Plot Twist Play 4 | Talking ADHD With Elizabeth Saunders

You’ll know the sublime actor Elizabeth Saunders from IT, Orphan Black, Schitt’s Creek, Mary Kills People, and so much more. And, most recently, from FROM. It’s a delight to have her as the first of many guests on this podcast, not least because we’ve known each other for a very long time. Join us as we chat about the 80s, why we’re not goddesses, Catherine O’Hara, and how we’re coping with diagnoses of neurodivergence later in life. Read more about the latter subject here: https://plottwistplay.substack.com/

The Bite 4 | Disappointed But Not Surprised

The Acorn 4 | Mourning Pages

Sometimes you keep circling back to things you’ve given up. This is true of ‘Morning Pages’ for me. I learned of them around 20 years ago by reading Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. Read along with this episode and see its images and links here: https://theacornmagazine.substack.com/p/mourning-pages
