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 and also counting for next week, in fact,

we welcome back to the show The One and Only Christopher Knowles of Secret Son

fame.

As maybe some of you are aware, I made sure to have a few weeks in the can for late

October and early November because I'm traveling again.

The upshot of that is very long days getting a high volume of communications projects

completed right on the Mercury retrograde station. But this isn't a podcast

about a gold name Lucky and I'm certainly not complaining about being forced to have excellent conversations with excellent people before heading off on a long overdue family holiday.

It's just that, you know, I need to let you you know there were a couple of tech dramas for the first few minutes my mic quality is a little poor thanks to Skype being Skype we switch to Zoom and it cleared up but on Chris's side there is this super faint

Random beep like a neighbor's smoke alarm needing new batteries or something to be honest. I'm kind of into it

It's a bit

O.G. Star Trek, but it's nevertheless there. I'm just mentioning if you

hear it, you aren't going crazy because it's one of those sounds that's so

faint you're not sure where it's coming from. I and letting you know it's in the recording.

Anyway in both cases I've done my best to clean it up.
