Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

All the broken and shunned creatures.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us? Yes.

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from

43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week in an ever so slightly delayed show, we have an ever so slightly brilliant guest, Dr. Amber

J. Sepppy. I first encounter Dr. Sepy's work in Damned Facts, which is a Charles Fort inspired collection of essays

by academics who are exploring or confronting the broadly Fortian, edited by another previous guest, Dr Jack Hunter.

Amber is a New Zealand-based academic toiling in the triple vineyards of decolonization,

indigenous lifeways, and Fortiano, right in our wheelhouse, which also apparently has vineyards in it.

Enjoy.

Dr. Sepi, I presume, welcome aboard.

Thank you, Gordon.

All right, well I'm really looking forward to this.

We've been chatting backwards and forwards a little bit over the last couple of months

and the premium members have had a look at some of your, well an article and your PhD and so yeah I'm very much looking forward to having this chat.

But before we begin you have to you have to answer the

traditional first question Amber which is were you a weird kid? One might say, growing up opposite a library, yes, that was my play space.

So, yeah, no brothers and sisters, a library across the road, eight adults,

definitely a weird kid.
