    E17: ESSAY October in Budapest

    Back in Budapest after Ukraine and a summer stateside sorting out the visa. The novel is on page 290, the Bullet documentary is in preproduction, and there's a pile of un-shared media becoming digital crud. Ambient sound recorded at a bar called Zsír — Hungarian for lard. A photo dispatch from October.

    E16: One Year In (Day 365)

    A year ago today Chip boarded a plane to Budapest. Today he's under a blanket with a cold, watching the rain, thinking about what expatriation actually feels like — the absence of depth, the vertigo of starting over, and why challenge accentuates everything. Also: Greek temple friezes were painted in garish colors. He can't help himself.

    E15: AI and the App (Day 364)

    On Saturday morning Chip woke up wanting a better Hungarian flashcard app and, knowing nothing about coding, decided to build one with ChatGPT. By Sunday night it existed. What followed was a gray foggy Tuesday meditation on AI — what it's genuinely good for, what the hand-wringing gets wrong, and a Ben Affleck video worth looking up. This is a public episode.

    E14: Bullet and the Dream (Day 360)

    Day 360 opens with a dream — a blurred Hungarian in a rabbit mask who appropriated all the furniture for mailbox-related reasons. Then the actual news: a green light to move into development on the Bullet documentary. Who is Bullet? Chip tells you. Also: the human rights film festival, a week of double duty with a camera, and why he missed a few recording days. This is a public episode.

    E13 Another Note About Nostalgia (Day 356)

    Day 356, continued. Thirty years into a daily writing journal, something unexpected happens when you play back your own voice instead of reading your own words. A coffee malfunction, a film festival at 9 PM, and a case for feeling nostalgic for today — right now — before it becomes the past. This is a public episode.

    E12 - Autumn and the Curse (Day 356)

    Day 356. Watching the courtyard trees go bare and thinking about autumn in Appalachian Virginia — and whether the version in memory is any truer than the one outside the window. An honest look at the resistance that follows a creative through every project, every season, every country. This is a public episode.

    E11: Obama's Almonds (Day 353)

    Day 353. Making a smoothie at 9:47 AM on the morning after Trump's reelection. A digression about Barack Obama's precise almond discipline leads somewhere unexpected — into what it means to stay sane when the news machine runs on your anxiety. Strange times in Budapest, November 8, 2024. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit budapestunscripted.substack.com

    E10 From Kyiv: The Proximity Effect

    Chip spends three weeks in Kyiv during the war and discovers that fear has a proximity effect — the closer you get, the less terrifying it becomes. Air raid alerts, Telegram threat assessment, a 5am walk to an empty shelter. And a man foraging on a prosthetic leg who refused to let the Russians take the forest from him. This is a public episode.
