The revolution cannot be televised - but it can be podcasted! How so? When words become ideas become insights become actions - we have our very own revolutionary process. The personal is the political. We wouldn't dream of imposing. But this club can be a springboard. So please take the jewels of wisdom from each episode and throw the rest in the bin. Who knows - in time you might become a contributor, not just a listener. Self-Detectives cannot be manufactured - but we can share our experiences. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

You might want to bring some paper and pens to this episode. As well as your inner child. "“We need to be childish to understand. Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don't expect to see.”Douglas Adams Here's some links for your attention: The Roles We Play - Sabba Khan Ways of Seeing - John Berger Art of Protest - De Nichols The Happy Writing Book - Elise Valmorbida Art Therapy Exercises - Liesl Silverstone

    The Trouble With ... Just About Everything

    The trouble with this podcast is that there's not enough dissent. It's too fixated on individuals solving their own problems. There is a whole world of systems, structures and institutions that are failing us day in day out. Can we at least shine a light on this - even if we can't change it overnight? So at the very least we don't end up gaslighting ourselves!!! This is a sonic journey through a critical lens, passing by evolution, money, voting, democracy, communism, journalism, hell, even small talk. And here's some show notes to add to the general disagreeable nature of the content... The Triffids Madeline  Madeline animation  Where does money come from? Mid Staffs Report Wiki page on Harold Shipman The Women Revolution of Rojava BBC journalist Andrew Marr interviews Noam Chomsky

Here's some show notes that add to the themes of the episode: Two Monkeys Were Paid Unequally (You Tube) Mutual aid Corporate whoring Consensus decision making Article on human-sized Hannah Arendt: The Quiet Power of Thoughtlessness (podcast) Person-centredness (You Tube) Every interactions can be an interventions(You Tube)

    Brushes With Death

    We have a process when it comes to death. We call it grieving. But there's not much going on, ritualistically speaking, when death brushes past us. In this episode we will be staying with these reminders, these close shaves. We have instances from poems, songs and prose. While Simon, your host, will also be sharing his own lived experience cheats, inspired by Maggie O'Farrell's non-fiction book I Am I Am I Am. Here are some more show notes, starting with: Ten Meter Tower | A Short Film by Maximilien van Aertryck and Axel Danielson A TIMELINE OF IRA ATTACKS IN LONDON Freud's Concepts of Thanatos and Eros Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book Joe Henry's Ohio Plane Crash Bongwater's Great Radio Smog's Lazy Rain Dr Alimantado's Born for a Purpose/reason for Living Neko Case's Tightly Andrew Bird's Fake Palindromes Courtney Barnett's Avant Gardener And, and, and... it would a great remiss if we didn't flag up the importance of burping kombucha. BTW - If you are interested in the logo of this episode, it comes from a medieval movement called Danse Macabre (Mystery Bonus Track)
