quipxoticA few random things that I'm thinking about today...
Listened to a few more Desert Island Discs podcasts on Friday that have really stuck with me:
Today I'm working on more Hill House Five, but yesterday I wrote some ficlets for the Eighth Doctor based on a different Tishani Doshi poem.
Lucie Miller audios are on sale at Big Finish to celebrate the release of "The Further Adventures of Lucie Miller." Although the new box set is set after Lucie's first series, it's full of spoilers for the end of her run as the Doctor's companion, so proceed with caution. That said, all four stories in the new box set are good with my favorites being the final two, "The House on the Edge of Chaos" and "Island of the Fendahl."
Listened to a few more Desert Island Discs podcasts on Friday that have really stuck with me:
- Nitin Sawhney - It's always interesting to listen to musicians talk about music and I really enjoyed the variety of cultures/musical styles represented in his list.
- Hugh Bonneville - The interview was delightful but I'm especially happy to know Annie Lennox sings Christmas music.
- Professor Monica McWilliams - This might be the most impactful interview I've heard so far on this podcast. McWilliams talks about the Irish Troubles and her experiences co-founding the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition and taking part in the Good Friday Peace Agreement.
- Dame Judi Dench - This interview was also delightful. I can't say much more for fear of spoilers, but be sure to stay to the very end if you listen to it.
