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":"E4: In the Name of $%&#, Part 2; S5: Is It Dead Yet?","slug":"e4-in-the-name-of-part-2-s5-is-it-dead-yet","published_at":"2026-03-26T14:27:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e4-in-the-name-of-part-2-s5-is-it-dead-yet","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E4-In-the-Name-of---Part-2-S5-Is-It-Dead-Yet-e3h0hda","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/117506922/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-2-26%2F420807513-44100-2-1d41058993b63.m4a","summary":"In this episode—part wandering monologue, part asteroid impact—Brian steps out of the model‑minority pose and into what he calls being “a sample size of one.” It begins slowly, deliberately, the way he warns it will: “this thing kind of starts slowly and wanders around,” and then, without warning, the floor gives way. The false one first. Then the real one. Across break‑ups, harm reduction, the AIDS blender generation, undocumented lovers, family Zoom calls thick as treacle, and the long‑delayed grief that finally arrives in a counselling session, this episode traces what it means to survive the things that should have killed you—and to finally name the things that actually did the damage. There’s camp (“Devine would not get to eat my shit”), there’s tenderness, and there’s the slow reveal of who the tears were really for. It’s extemporaneous, meta, self‑interrupting, and defiantly present. A refusal to be legible. A refusal to tidy the wandering. A refusal to pretend the asteroid isn’t coming. And after all of it—after the scabs, the blender, the family, the reckoning—Brian does what any sane person would do. He takes a nap.","meta_description":"In this episode—part wandering monologue, part asteroid impact—Brian steps out of the model‑minority pose and into what he calls being “a sample size of o…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2807,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/episodes/e4-in-the-name-of-part-2-s5-is-it-dead-yet/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e4-in-the-name-of-part-2-s5-is-it-dead-yet.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
