14 Days

Day 13 (2021) - Multitudes

In November 2020, I spoke to someone who was stranded overseas, desperately trying to make it back to Australia. Today, I find out what happened.

Day 12 (2021) - Relative Islands

I exchange notes on the quarantine experience with someone on a comparable, but faraway, island.

Day 11 (2021) - Pastiche

As I wonder what became of a staple of the Australian airport experience, I talk to someone I knew a long time ago—about Brisbane, about comedy, and about Australia.

Day 10 (2021) - Picking My Own Tragedy, pt 2

It’s down to four teams for my AFL pick. As I watch their games and try to find something to latch on to, however, a familiar foe appears.

Day 9 (2021) - Picking My Own Tragedy, pt 1

As I see the end in the distance, it’s time to look beyond. It’s also time to make some very important Melburnian decisions.

Day 8 (2021) - Sounds of Quarantine

Things are getting a little loopy… so why not lean into it? I set myself a musical challenge and spend a whole day making all kinds of fun noise.

Day 7 (2021) - Hypnagogia

In which I wonder if Aphex Twin and Vladimir Nabokov were correct.

Day 6 (2021) - Cope

It’s hard not to get stuck in a loop in quarantine. I talk to an unwitting veteran about the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous. And about whatever helps us to get through the day.

Day 5 (2021) - Census

It’s Census Day in Australia—whether you’re at home, on the road, or in quarantine—and I think about what it means to be counted.

Day 4 (2021) - The Reveal (and The Shame)

I get to the bottom of a mystery, and talk about some of life’s other lows.
