Weekend Listening Post

Post-vaccine blergh seems to have peaked last night: I felt a bit feverish and couldn't sleep until past midnight, and then this morning after feeding both His Whiskers and myself I went back to bed and had some truly wild dreams - ones in which I knew I was sick and needed water, but couldn't call for help, and kept trying to crawl through increasingly weird landscapes to a fridge, and so on. Eventually I did wake up and called Shiny to have them witness me walking to an actual fridge and drinking actual water and taking actual painkillers. Took a while after that for me to get myself together enough to shower and go out and restock painkillers, and I thought I was better by the time I did. But after eating lunch I turned my ankle stepping into the road, went splat, staggered into a tram, managed not to collapse, and came home and went to sleep again.

Woke up with an inexplicable desire to watch football, which might be a side effect or might be a sign that I'm finally - 18 months into the pandemic - getting lonely.

Listening Post will be short, on account of said desire to watch football.

Short and Serial fiction podcasts:

Enjoyed the short bonus episode from Starship Iris, Cultural Enrichment, in which a Dwornian soap opera is watched.

I'm seven episodes into S3 of Unwell, and loving it; can no longer decide WHAT I think about the old man in the woods, am very concerned about Dotty, it's great.

From Podcastle: Once and Future by Dan Mickelthwaite

From EscapePod:Report of Dr Hollowmas on the Incident at Jackrabbit Five, by T. Kingfisher. This one is just *perfect* in oral delivery.

Classic / longer fiction:

I finally finished Paradise Lost via Anthony Oliveira's podcast. I'm keeping up my patreon sub for now, but I doubt I will continue on with Paradise Regained, and certainly not into the gospel of Mark.

I'm over halfway through Anne... la maison aux pignons verts, in the RadioCanada audiobook. Delighted to see that Anne of Avonlea is up there, too. That's my sick leave time sorted...

Discursive podcasts and other links will have to wait, I am going to watch An Sport.
