Weekly Wrap 628: A podcast, a comedy, a sad ending, and rather a lot of alcohol

I did a lot of drinking during my week of Monday 6 to Sunday 12 June 2022. I am comfortable saying this. As I’ve already posted, ZDNet Australia has been shut down so I had a very long lunch with colleagues. And I enjoyed drinks both before and after catching the wonder Nigel Ng at the Enmore Theatre.

Weekly Wrap 627: Cold, wet, windy, and little else

My week of Monday 30 May to Sunday 5 June 2022 was cold, wet, and windy. I also spent a lot of time sleeping. We know the cause of the bad weather. Thank you, La Niña. We don’t know the cause of my sleepiness, though I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Weekly Wrap 626: A calming post-election week with three podcasts and some fungus

My week of Monday 23 to Sunday 29 May 2022 was a strange one. A sense of cautious hope after the election result, although of course we still don’t know exactly what’s happening. Then three or four days of focus on podcast production. I think the coming week will be clearer from an emotional perspective.
