ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A regular series of irregular thoughts. Could be anything. Mostly rants. Warning: May contain traces of sarcasm. Chapter 23 is a multimedia project by James Garside. Journalist, Author, Writer. Part-time vagabond, full-time grumpy arse. Would you care for a cup of tea? I write about everything from art, culture, and politics to tech, travel, and the occult. Sometimes in ways that get me into trouble. I'm also funny — I probably should've led with that. I help writers and artists to do their best work. Let's be part of each other's stories.

The idea is simple: Th…
