Hey y’all:

I’m starting an audio project. It’s not replacing the zine, or anything like that! Some ideas make more sense to me as sound, just like some ideas make more sense as mixed media or hybrids. I hope you like it—and if you don’t, a proper zine will show up soon enough.

If you would rather listen to the less compacted WAV, please--and I never thought I’d say this—check out my SoundCloud. —KJ

Episode Description:

In this first episode, our host discovers the letter A and all the things that come with it. They discuss aging, consider AI, lament the state of Austin, and engage with a baby armadillo. Tune in, or don't: the alphabet will happen with or without you.

(General warning: this episode uses adult language, refers to adult relationships, and discusses homophobia & transphobia using a couple a couple reclaimed slurs.)

Time codes:

[00:00] Intro: Associations, Apples, and Aging

[09:56] AI and Art

[18:27] Austin and "An Inch and Change"

[30:19] Ending: Achievements of the Armadillo

[33:47] End
