Scraps 02: Whoosh Whoosh Beep Beep

Scraps is a new monthly Lecker essay series for subscribers! Thanks for being here. I recently did a 10 minute talk at Interesting24, a conference organised by Russell Davies where 10 people do short talks about interesting things. I had such a good time at the event, despite it being super nerve-wracking and really enjoyed hearing people talk about taps, compost, pensions and many other fascinating topics. The event wasn’t recorded but I’m recreating my talk (fairly) faithfully for you here. I did actually record myself practising it the morning of the event and I was going to share that version but it featured me telling off my dog in the middle because i could hear her licking the cereal bowl I’d left in the living room. So here is a slightly cleaner version for you, hope you enjoy. And thanks to Russell for having me and everyone in the room for being such generous listeners and clappers. Edition 01 was a written essay on Substack and Patreon but this is an audio essay, and I'll endeavour to make all future written essays available as audio versions for paid Apple subscribers.
