Weekly Wrap 820: A podcast about AI, and big changes loom

The view across Hyde Park, Sydney, from College Street. In the lower third of the image are the tops of various kinds of trees. But the main part of the image is the cityscape of the Sydney CBD, with a jumble of various skyscrapers modern and 20th century, behind the park and on the left of it. All is set against a bright blue sky and a few cirrus clouds.

My week of Monday 9 to Sunday 15 February 2026 saw me settle into a busier phase of life, preparing for my move back to Sydney after 15 years in a kind of exile, as well as the usual podcast production and, as it happens, a new phase of work for a client.

Weekly Wrap 819: The relocation is confirmed! To Campsie!

On a bright sunny day with blue sky stands a red-brick hotel, three storeys high, with the ground floor finished in cream tiles. The awning is dark green, and reads “Campsie Hotel” in white.

My week of Monday 2 to Sunday 8 February 2026 wasn’t particularly productive, but my move back to Sydney was finally confirmed after 15 years of living in the Blue Mountains “for a few weeks”. Not immediately, but very soon. I have a lot to think about.

Weekly Wrap 811: Fleeing the Mountains in the rain

A Sydney Trains D-Set Mariyung train arrives at Katoomba station in the pouring rain. It's grey with black bands along the windows of its two decks and safety orange doors. Its blunt nose is black with light grey trim and a big chunk of safety orange below the driver's cab.

My week of Monday 8 to Sunday 14 December 2025 ended badly, with electrical failures at Bunjaree Cottages necessitating fleeing to Sydney, technical outages in the US continued to keep Another Untitled Music Podcast offline, and other amusements. But at least the crowdfunding campaign came to a satisfactory conclusion.

Weekly Wrap 810: When the weather is hot and the podcast is broken, go to the pub

An art deco pub on a bright sunny day. Its ground floor has floor to ceiling dark cream tiles with brown outlines and a series of wooden doors. The upper storey is red brick with light cream window frames. The roof is red tiles.

My week of Monday 1 to Sunday 7 December 2025 saw some unseasonable heat, hitting 40°C in Sydney’s inner south-west, and some annoying technical difficulties. But at least the season’s crowdfunder seems to be doing OK. And I went to a pub.

Weekly Wrap 809: A Tale of Two Centrals, and the podcasts

The upper parts of the sandstone facade of Sydney Central station, including the coat of arms on the left and the clock tower on the right. Behind it are two construction cranes and the partly-constructed modern architecture of Atlassian Central. And behind all that is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

My week of Monday 24 to Sunday 30 November 2025 was remarkably productive, with four podcasts recorded — three of them posted already — and the launch of the new season’s crowdfunding campaign which has already reached its first target. Wow.

Weekly Wrap 774: Magpies are so talonted, yeah?

During my week of Monday 24 to Sunday 30 March 2025 the numbers of my magnificent Magpie Army started to swell again, with 18 of them visiting the other morning. I took a photo. I also produced a podcast, launched a crowdfunder, and squeezed out a newsletter.
