Show Notes:

This one is all about my love of the rain - songs from Ann Peebles and Morphine and XTC and Tom Waits and Al Green. I'll read classic poems and tell you about petrichor and rant about Frasier - and I'm gonna close it out with the opening of my favorite book of all time

This episode is all about my rejection of the current dystopian state of things, and my believe that we are the light in this dark time is us - I believe that the way out is through love and empathy and art and music, I believe that the time has come for the tangible to be celebrated - art on canvas and vinyl records and handmade zines and meet cutes in real life ( an AI could NEVER). 

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2025 is The Year of the Snake, so this episode explores slithery serpents

This episode was inspired by…well…feeling crazy. The world is unrecognizable to me lately, I cannot fathom the things I am seeing, and I’m surrounded by people acting as if everything is absolutely normal. I kept coming back to this quote from Welcome to the Monkey House by my beloved Kurt Vonnegut: “A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”

This episode has been a long time coming. I started to dabble with the idea of Late in 2020, when - like many of us - my sleep problems were out of control and I wanted something to fill the hours. I realized that the kind of radio that I listened to as a sleepless kid no longer existed, and I wanted to recreate it.
