AJ Merron: Poet's Life
Yeah, stories about creativity, writing, and building a life as a hybrid poet and sound-artist. Esoteric, philosophical, probably incredibly over-intellectualised but hopefully thought provoking, inspiring and informative.

watching "What's Next" on Netflix, episode about AI and OMG it successfully horrified me. Especially when a rep from OpenAI says that the movie "Her" is a positive depiction of AI in movies... Did they actually watch the film?!

I’ve been weirdly productive the past few days. The excitement of a new thing I guess. The Lost Lancastrian podcast is changing into The Lost Book Nook and will be coming out soon… a few more bits to get sorted and hopefully a little onboarding

Got a book to finish but looking forward to getting stuck into the next few in my TBR, I usually have something fiction, a nonfiction and a poetry collection concurrently. How about you?
