Reserved Recommendations Episode 73 - Solo minisode (RIP David Lynch)( 0:42:18)
Episode Information
I'm back! I decided I'd like to get to ep 100 before I wrap this thing up, so that's nice. In this episode I have a bunch of thoughts prompted by the passing of David Lynch, and witnessing other people's takes on his life and work. I also get a bit into That Vulture Article re: the evolving Gaiman situation but I don't say anything very graphic or descriptive.

Reserved Recommendations Episode 72 - Solo minisode (Against Common Sense)( 0:51:5)
Episode Information
On the last episode of the year (possibly the last ever?) I return to the solo minisode format to talk about the plague of "common sense" which I think is seriously damaging our current political climate.

Reserved Recommendations Episode 71 - James Lissette on modular synths( 0:54:46)
Episode Information
I've recently started messing around with VCV Rack (www.vcvrackcom) a virtual modular synth environment, so the time seemed right to have a chat to James Lissette. James has had a long history in Palmerston North music, and a lifelong fascination with modular synths. We chat about the history and principles of modular, all while listening to a generative patch on James's hardware modular setup.
NB: this episode is (unusually) in stereo - so may reward listening on nicer headphones than usual!

Reserved Recommendations Episode 70 - Solo minisode on Neil Gaiman and authors being evil.( 0:54:53)
Episode Information
The thing about doing a show about problematic faves is that sometimes your own faves become problematic. Neil Gaiman is an author whose work has meant a lot to me at various times, and who now has (at time of writing) 5 credible accusations of historic sexual assault, detailed in the podcast "Master" (https://www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/master-the-allegations-against-neil-gaiman). On my first solo episode, I talk through my feelings about Gaiman, the similar case of Warren Ellis (https://www.somanyofus.com), how these issues arise, and what we do next.
