Accidentally wrote four autofiction books. Slid from narrative into monologue—not stream-of-consciousness, more like speech-speed meaning performance. Trained my voice into AI, produced a shit-ton of pieces. Had too many. Needed a place to dump them. Saw a sign that said “Beware, Vicious Dog!” Misread it. Named the podcast Danger, Vicious Dog. Didn’t fix it. Just kept going. Queer. Cosmic. Sarcastic. Cheap. Accidentally committed to the bit. Some voice and art is AI... I don't know how I feel about that... so I'm working on figuring it out... how I feel.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T20:18:09.153413+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978"},"episode":{"title":"E2: Mania and Depression; S8: I'm CERTAIN those are both CERTAINty","slug":"e3-mania-and-depression-s8-i-m-certain-those-are-both-certainty","published_at":"2026-06-26T04:26:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e3-mania-and-depression-s8-i-m-certain-those-are-both-certainty","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E2-Mania-and-Depression-S8-Im-CERTAIN-those-are-both-CERTAINty-e3l9vv5","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/122011045/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-26%2F426855219-44100-2-ceb1c4929d92b.m4a","summary":"Every time I sit down to write one of these little episode descriptions, it becomes another podcast episode. So I’m not doing that. This is the post. The episode starts with about five minutes that many people will instinctively skip. Good. Then some of you won’t hear what the episode is actually doing. Also good. The episode eventually turns into two songs. Along the way it wanders through certainty, artificial intelligence, gambling, youth work, candles in cars, depression, mania, and whether any of us have nearly as much control over our own nervous systems as we’d like to believe. Or maybe it’s just a guy walking home from work talking into a wireless microphone. I honestly don’t know anymore. If you’re listening on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Substack, or somewhere else, I’d appreciate it if you’d go find me in one or two of the other places as well. Apparently that’s how the internet works. Subscribe. Follow. Whatever the local ritual sacrifice is. And ratings matter, too. My favourite advice about reviews came from someone—I think Ian Bremmer, though if I’m wrong let’s all just confidently misremember together: If you’re not going to give me five stars… don’t bother rating me or subscribing. Just get fucking lost! I support this entirely reasonable scientific standard. Anyway. Here’s Episode 3. It comes before Episode 2… so I have obviously stopped caring. Or pretending that I cared. As if I could ever care about a title or a number. If you’re the fucking Queen of Prince Edward Island of Epstein. You know the song I really like? “Queen of Denmark” sung by Sinead O’Connor. So, if you hate this episode… or me, you probably shouldn’t leave a review. If you like it… …you know what to do. And, you do know how MUCH I would LOVE you to take issue with something I…","meta_description":"Every time I sit down to write one of these little episode descriptions, it becomes another podcast episode.
