I've done it. I have produced another podcast. When I was failing for the third time to complete a decent written post, I realized that it was time to resort to drastic measures.

I'll say it straight out - this isn't my best, and I think there's another direction I could have taken it that would have resulted in a more coherent point overall. However, I think it's important enough that I keep at this, regardless of the quality of each individual creation. Hopefully it is worth your time.

The song at the end is B Complex - Beautiful Lies. Hint: it's probably techno. I haven't found enough new music recently, so some of you might have heard it in my presence before.

It's a lot harder than it used to be to do this. I feel less confident in my ability to communicate at the level I think is required to demand the attention of my little handful of readers. I'm also certain a portion of it is my current creative ability has been surpassed by my capacity for critical analysis. Makes it hard not to agonize over every sentence. Lastly, I worry quite constantly about offending in a personal manner. It's not so much that I fear controversy, but that I don't wish to damage my trustworthiness by saying too much.
