Alien Prequels by Minute

30/10/2022

I have unpublished the Patreon, I doubt I'll ever be able to manage four shows at once again, but I thank everyone who contributed and allowed me to host my website. For now I'm just focusing on 60 Seconds to Comply, my co-host also had some medical drama recently, so we are both on hiatus. As for the future of Alien Covenant, I can't say anything for certain, I just need a break for now. I feel a little guilty for launching Tron in 60 Seconds just prior to the accident, no idea when I'll get back to it.

It's been nine weeks since I was injured, I know I'm not ready to return to podcasting, or much of anything else, but I thought I'd share an episode that was already prepared.

In which Greg Klein of the Airwolf Years and I discuss nostalgia, aesthetics and robot voices. Find Greg here: CitationsActivist Post. (2015, October 26). Why is wheat such a problem in the modern …

Just realised I never posted here about the future of this podcast.
A month ago I was nearly killed by a reckless driver who ran me over while I was just crossing the road. I am lucky to be alive, but he took one crucial thing from me, my hearing. I am deaf in my left ear, which makes it hard to record or edit podcasts because nothing sounds right and I can't tell how things sound to others. I saw a specialist earlier this week and they believe my ear will heal over the next few months. I hope so, but in the meantime, there's nothing I can do but wait.
So it looks like I'll be forced into hiatus for the next few months. I don't want to give up on my podcasts, I hope I can finish what I started. I still make YouTube videos, somehow the visual element helps me make sense of the audio. That's probably all I'll be able to make for now.

Tron in 60 Seconds is going public soon, but for Patreon supporters, here's my second attempt at the pilot, I think it's a noticeable improvement over the original.

Sorry you haven't heard from me since Alien Day, I've been migrating everything over to a new computer, which is taking ages. I've finally gotten my car home since the burglary, so I've been working on that as well. But hopefully I can get back into a normal routine again. This has been an insane and challenging year so far, and I thank you for your patience.

Alien Day fast approaches, I hope I can get the special out on time. On top of everything else, I now have an ear infection that's giving me vertigo. I'm just having the worst streak of luck.

The Nexus Minute returns after a very long hiatus.

I still don't have a computer that can run any image editing software, so I don't know what to do about title cards for the moment.

The new episode for the Patreon supporters will be a little late due to a sick guest this week, but I thought I'd share this previously prepared episode for the rest of the audience. In this episode I am joined by the delightful and insightful Mike Jozic who has been anxious to hear this, so here you go.

The burglary was a major disruption to my life and even my health, so these past few weeks have flown by without getting much work done. It's nice to finally be getting back into the swing of things.

Hey remember how the podcast was late because I was in hospital? Well now there might not be any new episodes for the foreseeable future, my house was broken into yesterday, everything was stolen, my car, my laptop, my PlayStations, even my underwear. At least I still have my microphones and camera, but no way of editing or uploading anything. The police were great and got the car back within six hours, but now it's being held by forensics for who knows how long. No one can even check the boot to tell me if my lost possessions are there.
