Wash your hands, don't touch your face, sneeze into your elbow. Welcome to the Blind

By Podcast, you improvised aivins. So a couple of weeks ago my mother rang me up on the

0:15.8

phone and she sounded an eye to me because she had just opened up the newspaper and

0:24.9

lemuric, the lemuric post. And in the lemuric post there were adverts for like a

0:35.7

night, like a community college, I suppose you call it night courses for adults in the paper.

0:41.9

And one of the classes that was being advertised was a podcasting course. So there was a course

0:52.8

on how to start her own podcast was being run in lemuric in as a night course of one of

1:00.2

the community colleges for adults. And my mother was annoyed and angry with me saying why didn't

had to reflect and the conversation I just had I had to check in with myself emotionally because as

2:21.6

adults, when a parent gives you advice, you have to be very mindful of the advice coming from the

2:27.7

parent because you can give it a lot more credence than it deserves. Like emotionally you're like

2:35.9

fuck my mom wants me to become a podcast and teacher, I better do it. And then I had to say to

2:40.4

me, I said, no, you're a grown adult man and you know what you're doing with your life.
