I hope Ian never learns how to edit or find the pause button. I love the raw production of these recordings. The words and ideas are polished, which is the main thing, and the rest is unvarnished humanity, which is a gift.

Such a thoughtful and beautiful piece and, like other listeners, really enjoy witnessing the thoughts and edits on the fly.

This was very enjoyable. I can’t think of anyone else who can extract so much joy from a bleak world view. It’s the love of language and the immersion in the minutiae and texture of misery that makes it an antidote for despair.

Thankyou for sharing. I can now start the day well prepared.

Lately, I too have had strong urges to revisit Aftersun. Maybe I'll do the double-bill. Thanks

The ‘roads not taken ‘ melancholy resonates particularly with me just now as I approach my 7th decade .

What is delightfully miserable miserable episode loved it it’s not only in England. You get that weather psychosis but it is more extreme. Thanks mate.
