🎙️ Podcasts
🎙️A Three parter from Freakonomics … drilling down into Adam Smith.
It was listening over the holidays as I travelled - so I had the time.
🎙️Ezra - Time is way weirder than you think - well worth a listen if you are into time.
The Lore Of The Rings
I was delighted to be joined on the People First podcast by Ramsey Avery who is the Production Designer for the Amazon series - Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power.
Wonderful conversation that I know you will enjoy.
🎙️🎵🎶 Nice to listen in to your conversation @martinfeld and @lmika - thankyou.
A different kind of musical note … check out the work of Vivian Stanshall and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Viv provided ‘MC’ services for all those lines you referenced, including;
“Spanish Guitar and introducing acoustic guitar”
The Bonzo’s track Death Cab For Cutie also gave that band their name.
Love me some solid (English) Progressive.
Why Non Of My Books Are Available On Audible
Why none of my books are available on Audible is a 'spoken essay' from Cory which will eventually be the only entry he has in the Audible library.
Take a listen to find out why.

Thinking Allowed
This is a People First post that was originally on the People First domain. It has been moved here as part of my domain consolidation program. It’s a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.- More about People First
- Other People First Posts
(not just from the ‘other domain’ … all of them.)
~🎵🎶 Who knew that Rick Astley’s formative years had him as a Prog Rock / Drummer type. First concert ever? Supertramp or Camel - he can’t quite remember!
“If, at the end of your show you say “Available where you get podcasts,” then my friend, you have a podcast. If you have to say “Only available on Spotify” (or some other exclusive service), good for you, but it’s not a podcast.”
💬 Dave Winer
… and I very much agree with him.
Language is important … and I am done with Corporates hijacking language so to appear better than they are.
Why Do You Work?
I promise, Manton, Daniel and I did not coordinate this - I think sometimes synchronicity just happens.
In last weeks newsletter I asked the question
A reply post will be available this Saturday.
There have been some great answers, but that is not the reason for this post.
Manton Reece - the brain behind Micro Blog 1 and Daniel Jalkut - the brain behind Red Sweater 2 have a weekly podcast called Core Intuition. This week I learned that they have been running their podcast for twelve years. A remarkable feat even of itself. Both of them are independent developers and this week the conversation turned to employment. A really nice discussion between two professionals that wrestle with following their dreams and passions, while balancing the need to put bread on the table.
Have a listen - you won't regret it and very pertinent to the discussion 'Why Do You Work'.
Footnotes
1] If you want to see MicroBlog working in the real world, my web site - John.Philpin.Com is powered by MicroBlog.
2] If you want to see Red Sweater working in the real world, that’s a little harder - but Daniel has a superb product called Mars Edit that I am using to write and post this article. Seriously. If you are a Mac user that writes a blog - you should be using Mars Edit.
Philosophy Week
Part 2 of my conversation with Cristina DiGiacomo, M.S. goes live at 5 am Pacific Standard Time on Monday 23rd. You are going to love it. Hell, we loved it so much that when we finished - we just kept going - you'll see what I mean.
Part One - if you want to catch up first.
And it's not as if there is a theme going here BUT - later on in the week, part 1 of my conversation with Tim Walters Ph.D., goes live.
It must be philosophy in the workplace week!
Episode 2 of PeopleCast is LIVE. (Well, kind of.)
Would very much welcome feedback on this first episode. Any and all comments welcome. It’s not too late to change things before I really start rolling these out and my skin is very thick!
Many thanks in anticipation.

I don’t really write fiction. At least fiction that sees the light of day ….
🔗 The Letter is an exception. Published yesterday on BizCatalyst.
I decided to 🖇️ narrate it in the latest episode of BUNKER-19.
BUNKER-19 - Episode 4
The series continues - but Episode 4 had to go up to YouTube - too big to hangout in Micro.Blog
BUNKER-19 - Episode 4

🎙️ Travels Without Charlie - Episode 1 - Kevin
It’s a series of stories that are part of People First. The growing set is here, while the story about Kevin is here.
I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I have enjoyed meeting the people that tell me their stories.
