"A Canadian settler hates a tree, regards it as his natural enemy, as something to be destroyed, eradicated, annihilated by all and any means."

Anna Brownell Jameson, Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada (1838)

The Womb Factory (Peter M. Ferenczi)

Read by Kate Baker

A Chinese woman, tricked into working at a black factory, struggles to use the meager resources at her disposal to find an escape or at least report to the work how she and others are being used.

You know, it seems to me that the production methods being used shouldn't have to use people. In fact, it seems like logically the original system would be set up to make it harder to use people than some expendable species.

The Second Class Passenger V1 (Perceval Gibbon)

The Second Class Passenger V2(Perceval Gibbon)

A rather hapless young man touring Africa sets out to recover a misplaced souvenir and stumbles into an adventure involving armed men, a sultry temptress and sudden death (happily not his).

I'd never noticed the similarities between a certain kind of adventure story and the Actor's Nightmare before.

There were two productions of this. I don't feel like listening to two versions of the same play two nights running so I have included them both here. They seem to be essentially identical.

Just once

When I get asked "Is that blood?" I would like to be able to say "Yes, but not mine."
