Happy 8 March!

It’s been a busy day so far and it’s still the afternoon. Check out some of the things I’ve been up to so far

Clip from the forthcoming documentary film: The Power of Friendship

I am once again a talking head in a forthcoming documentary film about the power of friendship and the worldwide epidemic of social isolation and loneliness. If you are in London on March 11, catch the premiere at the Kiln Cinema on Kilburn High Road. There will be a Q&A with the director and a reception afterwards.

2024 Reading Challenge: The Seep by Chana Porter

A new year and a new goal for reading fiction and non-fiction. Although I did not reach my 2023 goal of 50 books, I did manage to read most of 17 books of fiction and 21 books of non-fiction (which included 3 audio books). Thirty-eight books isn’t bad given how busy my year was.

But now I’m starting fresh and my first book was The Seep by Chana Porter. I loved this little book mostly because I kept thinking that the aliens would turn out to be evil and the author did not fall for the tired old tropes. A fun and hopeful book about how some of us are too resistant to change for our own good.

A.K. 47 year in review

This is the first time I have noticed this “backtrack” feature of my podcast host, Buzzsprout. It’s nice to have an overview of these things sometimes, especially since I post new episodes so sporadically. January will be the 5th year anniversary of A.K. 47. Although I only recorded, edited, and published 20 episodes in 2023, I am quite pleased that they have reached listeners in 99 countries.
