Yes, your eyes do not deceive you.This, my esteemed listener, is a new episode of The Wednesday Audio.Problem is, I have no features. I have no c*ntent. I have no listener missives.So what am I going to fill it with?That's right. Absolutely nothing.35.5 minutes of absolutely SOD ALL.
This entire episode is all brand new and full of brand new features and no they're not all just renamed features, they're actually brand new or at least one of them is brand new.Thank you
I think today's special for some reason. Something to do with love, or something?
I was so out of practice with this episode I actually forgot that this was episode 115, and kept referring to it as 114.But…at least there's a new episode…right?
My new favourite word this week (brought to by Trilety), is onanism. I shamelessly (I have no shame, have you not noticed) used it throughout this episode. It turned out alright.Leave me a missive or a Donkey List on my Substack, and I'll probably read it out next week.https://yeahwednesdays.substack.com
I was meant to record this episode on the 19th October, and then…I didn't.Enjoy this very delayed episode if you're capable of such activities.
I had a complaint from a listener last week that I've had to take seriously. If there is one commitment I like to make on this podcast, it's that the correct length is received on each episode.The current runtime of an average episode should be between 34-36 minutes, and last week saw me fall short. This was poor standards on my part, of which I can only apologise.I've made up for it this week.You can thank Sam.
After a month-long hiatus, Trilety challenged me to make the most interesting episode of The Wednesday Audio. She challenged me to attempt to make the funniest, most eng*ging, most intellectually challenging episode possible.I think I achieved it.

I hate it when YouTube videos do that thing. You know, that thing. “Hi guys, I'm sorry I've been absent for a while, but I'm back with a new video now about the moon landings or whatever”Be absent with pride. Be away with pride. Don't apologise for it. And if you really want to apologise for it…insincerely apologise.So on that vein, I've been away for a while for no particular reason other than I haven't been arsed to record a podcast for you to ignore.So behold: Episode 108 of The Wednesday Audio for your ignorance.The Wednesday Audio needs your email address to send these podcast episodes direct to your inbox so you can ignore them there too.

You know how Netflix do that really annoying thing where they span a 45-minute story out into a six-part documentary series? Where there's just absolutely no substance to the story, but they somehow manage to keep it dragging its heels, kicking and screaming, scraping its fingernails along the floor, begging it to stop, for six whole parts?Don't you just find it really annoying? Don't you just think that if something should be 36-minutes long, they should just make it 36 minutes, and not try to span it out into a six part series?Yeah, I agree. They shouldn't do that. Six part series are a cheap way to generate fake FOMO and false engagement.Nobody should ever do that. Get full access to The Wednesday Audio at yeahwednesdays.substack.com/subscribe

The following content is not related to the previous document. However, it is important to note that breaking the fourth wall is a storytelling technique that has been used in various forms of media, including literature, theatre, and film. This technique involves a character acknowledging the audience or the fact that they are in a work of fiction, which can be an effective way to engage the audience and create a sense of intimacy between the character and the audience.When used appropriately, it can add an extra layer of depth to a story and enhance the overall experience. However, if overused or misused, it may become distracting or even annoying to the audience, which can detract from the story's impact. Therefore, it is important for storytellers to use this technique judiciously and with a clear understanding of its intended effect.

In a desperate attempt to revitalise The Wednesday Audio and to combat the dwindling downloads, I spent this week thinking of a new concept for the show.I consulted my old friend Carlos to see what he said. He told me: Craig, all you need to do is make clippable content. Instead of making long form content, sack that off, and just make short form content. Your audience won't notice the difference, and you can just string it together into a long episode.So, my dear listener, I have made exactly this.

Surreal humour (also called surreal comedy, absurdist humour, or absurdist comedy) is a form of humour predicated on deliberate violations of causal reasoning, thus producing events and behaviours that are obviously illogical. Portrayals of surreal humour tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, incongruity, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense.[1]Surreal humour grew out of surrealism, a cultural movement developed in the 20th century by French and Belgian artists, who depicted unnerving and illogical scenes while developing techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself.[1] The movement itself was foreshadowed by English writers in the 19th century, most notably Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. The humour in surreal comedy arises from a subversion of audience expectations, emphasizing the ridiculousness and unlikeliness of a situation, so that amusement is founded on an unpredictability that is separate from a logical analysis of the situation.Surreal humour is concerned with building up expectations and then knocking them down; even seemingly masterful characters with the highest standards and expectations are subverted by the unexpected, which the scene emphasizes for the viewer's amusement. Either the "goofball" or "straight" character in the scene can react with dull surprise, disdain, boredom, or detached interest, thus heightening comic tension. Characters' intentions are set up in a series of scenes significantly different from what the audience might ordinarily encounter in daily life. The unique social situations, expressed thoughts, actions, and comic lines are used to spark laughter, emotion, or surprise as to how the events occurred or unfolded, in ways sometimes favorable to other unexpectedly introduced characters.[citation needed]Surreal humour in theatre is usually about the insensitivity, paradox, absurdity, and cruelty of the modern world. Absurd and surrealist cinema often deals with elements of dark humour: disturbing or sinister subjects like death, disease, or warfare are treated with amusement and bitterness, creating the appearance of an intention to shock and offend.[2] Get full access to The Wednesday Audio at yeahwednesdays.substack.com/subscribe
Ode to Salad Cream by TriletyHe promised me lettuce crisp with crunch but gave me limp leaves instead. So I turned my tongue away from the steel reach of his fork only to be teased by the viscous glug of a squeeze of salad cream. Oh Salad Cream, how you drench the pink muscle of my mouth in savory fatness until I am - from knee to cheek - bedspread. Your egg yolk sunrise erupts in my mouth and the only sound in the kitchen is my ecstatic scream. Oh Salad Cream, you are beyond the sauce and better than the dressing. Don't let anyone tell you that you are unworthy or, worse, unknown, because my tongue and throat sing your praises with every slurp. Only the Brits could blend up an emulsified sun and stuff it deep into a million wanting bottles for all the world to coat their salads, sandwiches and fingers in. You are my lubricant for caressing. He lays me down on a bed of greens and watches as I gulp and swig you, Salad Cream, until I burst with a burp. My world exploded with your silky drip and all I wanted was a threesome with you, me and Aristotle. Get full access to The Wednesday Audio at yeahwednesdays.substack.com/subscribe

I'm absolutely thrilled to bring some new (and old) features back to the pudcast for 2023. I've managed to, for the first time in recorded and recording history, secure James Clear's Brother to appear on a podcast.I've found Toby hanging around behind the bins again, and invited him back in to record his Titular Tips. Even he's in a reflective mood, providing some much-needed tinned meat advice for the tougher times ahead.And then, finally, I can't forget to mention the superior production quality to be found in The Actual C*ntent.

This is a story about a podcaster, and his podcast. It's not an interesting story, admittedly. It's an average story. It's the type of story that you'd probably glance at, read the title, consider making yourself a cup of tea, and forget about. It's a page 9 story. Not worthy enough to be close to the front of the magazine, but important enough not to be lost in the centre between the staples.This is a story about a podcaster, and his podcast.
