A RECORDING OF MY FIRST NATIONAL RADIO APPEARANCE

Boris, it is not playing for me. NO audio. I will check back, maybe it is my computer. Does it work for you? I relize there is no video, but i am not getting any audio, either.

sorry to hear it's not playing for you Kathryn. I've checked it and it is working for me and it also worked for Adrian who commented below. Perhaps you could try again.

I'm happy to get my first chance at listening to your appearance Boris (Ade has a new computer!). Congratulations on the big time coverage!

Your recording is accepted to The Circus with this comment and I'll circle back in a bit with a response

...and it's a feature.

thank you very much for taking the time to listen to the program Adrian, glad you enjoyed it. Thank you also for the feature!

just to make sure Adrian, the audio did work for you, didn't it?

Yes...all that I've missed my year on Gather! I now get to listen, watch and view photo images. Without the computer crashing!

I must be judiciously discerning though. I've an addictive personality (and presently housebound...). Could spell trouble!
The double danger of a large toosh and developing a sentient ganglion is nerve wracking!

It's working for me, Boris

Wow, pretty freaky, at the start. I've read the first poem here, I think, or heard you perform it. Going to have to come back, for the rest. Kudos, Boris.

thank you for listening Ron, I appreciate it! Yeah, it was a freaky kind of a show, full of remixing and special effects!

Boris, THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!
I enjoyed the ooze and goo of the primordial rising and collapse and reorganization.
I'm spending a lot of time in this sphere these days both internally and externally.
That realm of bodily and psychological/ spiritual breakdown and my life long fascination with regeneration and evolution through that process.

Your poem's treatment of a sebaceous cyst taking on individuality and consciousness from a dream motif is Kafkaesque indeed (and thoroughly delightful!).

I loved the feminine beauty of the eels. It's a very dense collection of ideas and certainly warrants listening to several times. I want to go back and focus on the religious aspect of the episode and your poetic presentation.

I also enjoyed hearing your voice Boris. Congratulations on the National coverage. The additional overlay and remix is fascinating. Could you provide us with an online link to this very cool Australian National radio project?

thank you for this wonderful feedback Adrian.

I agree, the host of the program, Natasha Mitchell, did a wonderful job with the remix of the show.

This is the home page of all her programs over the years, all of which have podcasts and transcripts.

The program is called "All in the Mind" and it's a foray into the mind, brain and behaviour.

( I just wish more people on Gather would take the time to listen to this program! )

Boris wonderful. I'm very happy about the link. I'll see if I can make it clickable.

The Surreal Circus will continue to feature your first national radio appearance. I'll be happy to add comments to keep it in 'the stream' (...as my brain attempts to further wrap around the material).

What's here is food for a thousand conversations.

thank you Adrian, I really do appreciate your support!

All In The Mind from Australia's ABC Radio National

thank you for this link Adrian. Just so you know, the radio station also provided a transcript of the show and I have posted it here

A transcript is really valuable. Those APM and NPR programs that I enjoy offer transcripts of many of their shows. Up until this month's computer upgrade, I generally read the programs as I'm too far away for radio.

Thanks Boris

yes, the transcript is good although I don't think that anyone on Gather actually read through it, judging by the number of comments!

I did.

oh thanks Aniko, I didn't know that!

The program rocked, Boris. That was a really interesting montage of ideas, but your poems were the best part of it. "Revelata Dysmorphologica" is my favorite among your writings so far. (I've also read it before.)

((Sorry it took me so long to get here.))

thank you for this feedback Aniko. I think the host of the radio show really did a great job putting it all together and adding the sound effects to my poems.

She also got me to really act out the poems!

very nice.

thank you for listening Lona.

interesting how hey put all those different voices together. very neat

thank you for listening little pixie, glad you liked it. Did you find the poems that I performed interesting too?
