Perception Issues

Ian Cook

Annabel & Ian have Perception Issues, like everyone else. Here they try to make sense of this media/content/nonsense laden world.

  1. Listers

    30 ABR

    Listers

    A documentary about competitive bird watching turns out to be one of the best things on YouTube. Plus: the Criterion Channel recommends feel-good films, a small Iranian boy tries to return a notebook, fiction gets a bad reputation, and nobody can remember the plot of Slaughterhouse-Five.

  2. Lunchbox Anxiety

    8 ABR

    Lunchbox Anxiety

    The tyranny of the sandwich, a brief history of Marmite, and the nineteen twenties rebrand that absolutely nobody asked for. Plus: Vegemite gets a verdict, Kim Gordon gets a recommendation, and crumpets get completely forgotten the moment someone walks through their front door 🫠 In this episode: ⁠Lunchbox Envy podcast⁠OH!Bento exhibition⁠Lunchables (now Lunchers!)MarmiteVegemiteGentleman's RelishKim Gordon — PLAY MELondon Belongs to Me — Norman Collins

  3. Hello again

    27 MAR

    Hello again

    We're back? After a short, five-year hiatus, Perception Issues returns with a brief reintroduction — covering crochet axolotls, the surprisingly brilliant green screen tech Disney invented in the sixties and then lost, and the eternal struggle of spelling onomatopoeia. Mentioned in this episode: Corridor Crew look at Disney's Prism Sodium Vapor Process

    #13 - Walking and Talking during lockdown

    Annabel and Ian return in these trying times with a new mobile format. Sort of. With COVID19 doing its thing around the world, A+I use their bi-weekly stroll for coffee (exercise) to talk about the pandemic, comfort in Youtube coffee and Scifi, and potentially filling a Succession-sized hole.

  5. #12 - Nostalgia

    #12 - Nostalgia

    Is Nostalgia good or bad? Has it become too powerful? Why are we obsessed with what was? When is a remake a worthy remake? Annabel mostly asks questions that neither Ian nor Annabel can answer. One thing we can agree on, Nostalgia has some serious Perception Issues.

    #11 - Is social media evil?

    Annabel tries to talk Ian down from the social media ledge. Is it evil? If so, when did that happen? Myspace was fun, right? Can humans be trusted with anything?

    #10 - Caught between two cultures

    Ever heard of intragroup marginalisation? No, nor had we. But what effect can being caught between two (or more) cultures have on a person? How does that constant niggling fear of rejection or guilt potentially impact much larger emotions? Annabel and Ian discuss, examine this concept at a personal level and consider why it is so rarely talked about. SHOW NOTES: The original article http://theconversation.com/what-being-stuck-between-two-cultures-can-do-to-a-persons-psyche-80448 The Reply All episode We referred to a Reply All episode featuring Sal, a Syrian refugee living in Turkey, whose story is both heartbreaking and possibly scarily typical of so many in the present day. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/5whgo2

    #9 - Emails

    What are they trying to say? Ian and Annabel rant-lite about people losing the ability to speak like normal human beings when they enter the workplace. Bloated emails, I.M etiquette, acrid acronyms and baffling buzzwords. You get the picture.
