What a feast! Listening to the original author brings out nuances I'd missed when I read them. Thank you for recording!

I’m so glad you’re enjoying, Richard! 🙏✨

Wow, genius observation that Substack is omakase. Also, I think "zen-like obliteration of the self" might be my MO!

I love that you (Joel) are recording your archive. I really enjoy listening to you (and having the option of reading, too, of course). I was tempted to try it myself, but in my head I sound like a normal human being and then something awful happens during the recording process that distorts my voice into a weird mixture of Julie Andrews and that terrifying Theranos woman who just got sent prison, when she still had her deep voice. Alas...

😂 that’s amazing - sounds like the hybrid no one asked for but we all secretly need... I’d say go for it!

Amazing! Going to dig into some of the pieces I missed this week!

Also, have you seen the Station Eleven HBO series?

Oh, jumping in to say I LOVED it!

Ok that’s exciting. Need something to fill the Succession void 🥲

It’s good! They did a great job with the source material imo

Jill's avatar

Ooh no! Is it good? Will check it out. I was very late to the Station Eleven party and only read it this year - but loved it a lot once I finally did

Wild ride on the conveyor.... and now to imagine a Litter audio Play list for a road trip. Keep well!

Thanks Ken!! Lmk if there are any pieces I haven’t done audio for yet that you would like to hear. They’ll be next.
