[Archive] 2023 Madcap-Recap//2024-To-The-Floor (Intro)
Quoting my original except from the Jan 5th, 2024 article (posted on our prior, now-defunct website, RIP) “ A prelude to my comprehensive review of society, culture and lifestyle in 2023, as well as predictions, hopes and concerns for 2024. In this article, I discuss themes ahead for the first longer-form series of the ISC podcast, exploring society, discourse and the relationship between these and the arts, hobbies, music and mental health.

[Archive - 26.11.24] Introducing: #MusicMondays and #TechTuesdays!
Whilst I don’t have the capacity re: time and energy etc, plus have lost a bit of metadata with the death of my prior site - I can’t in good conscience let stellar posts and input from the Musolegion community (as well as a chance for promoting a lot of great bands!) go to waste. See here for an explainer and initial introduction to Music Mondays (featuring our Musolegion ‘From The Community’ column) and Technical Tuesdays blog series. Keep following us on the new site for future segments!

ISC Podcast Ep. 08 - (Prelude to ‘The Stoked Series’). [11.03.2023]
Yet another of our archival posts, this one was a primer/precursor to ‘The Stoked Series’. In this article, I discussed some pretty open and honest challenges around living with ADHD (Inattentive-Type) and some common mental health comorbidities. It’s ultimately positive though, and focuses on the return of hedonia and stokedness.
