    Episode 5 of the audio journal. This one’s about Belgian beer showing up in bars halfway across the world and what it stirs up. A quiet question about roots, about the country I was raised in but never plan to return to, and about what it means to miss a place that doesn’t really exist…

    Five micro goals. That’s what this episode is about. I’ve been inconsistent with blogging, I’ve had bad sleep for years, I drink too much coffee, and I have content plans for 2026 that go way beyond just writing posts. On top of that, I want to experiment with launching a faceless YouTube channel. No camera,…

    I haven’t run in twenty years. Not jogged, not trained, nothing. And lately, my body has been making that very clear. Low energy, poor sleep, and a general feeling of not being in the shape I used to be. So I did something about it. I asked Claude AI for a realistic return-to-running program for…

    A bad night’s sleep. Again. In this entry, I talk about years of broken sleep cycles, what it does to my mood, and why I’m finally trying something different, including building an AI memory to track my health, and why I might finally cave and buy an Apple Watch after years of refusing to wear…

    The first entry of a personal audio journal. No audience, no plan, just a decision to start. In this episode, I talk about why I’m building this journal, what I’m actually trying to create, and the one thing I’m holding myself to: I’d do this even if nobody listens. This podcast runs alongside my blog.…

    Korean cinema and K-dramas have had a real grip on the world for a while now. And honestly? As someone who’s been watching them long before the Squid Game-fuelled frenzy normalised them in the West, I’ll say this without hesitation: they’re outperforming Hollywood more often than not these days. The storytelling is sharper, the pacing…

    There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn’t show up on any medical chart. It’s the kind that settles into your bones after years of fighting battles on too many fronts at once.  Personal, professional, health-related, until one day you look up and realize you’ve been running on fumes for so long, you forgot what…
