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":"E8: Clickbait: Privilege, Grooming, Zee/Zim; S5: Just Kill Me","slug":"e8-clickbait-privilege-grooming-zee-zim-s5-just-kill-me","published_at":"2026-04-18T01:59:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/e8-clickbait-privilege-grooming-zee-zim-s5-just-kill-me","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/danger-vicious-dog-7683978","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/testtubebaby/episodes/E8-Clickbait-Privilege--Grooming--ZeeZim-S5-Just-Kill-Me-e3i31gh","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10bfde498/podcast/play/118637521/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-18%2F9b2ce266-a56e-7de0-dee9-e3ce6dd7040f.mp3","summary":"There’s writing that tries not to disappoint you—and then there’s writing that behaves like a shopping cart with one broken wheel careening downhill into a pile of burning encyclopedias. Remember those? Encyclopedias. Episode Eight thinks its cart started rolling thirty years ago. I’m going to indulge that, because the point here is to simulate the cognitive static of modern identity-making—the way memory, trauma, language, and cultural debris all rush the stage at once, each insisting it’s the headliner. This began as a simple, extemporaneous dinner rant. I thought I knew where it would land. I don’t anymore. The mind is built to predict; when it fails, it scrambles—opens the wrong drawers, pulls out the wrong objects, insists they belong. So suddenly: Los Angeles, early ’90s, AIDS crisis. An hourly motel. A man already outside the story of his life, riding a motorcycle between sex clubs and nowhere-to-sleep, using meth like a farewell letter. The memory doesn’t arrive cleanly. It sprawls. It refuses a moral. Then—without warning—I’m in Indonesia a decade later. Or earlier. Waiting to see if Canada would recognize my relationship as a family. Learning the language, deliberately swapping words just to see what would happen. Living beside a mosque with a sign calling for George Bush to be killed. Walking past it daily as the only white American in the neighborhood. It stayed until the 2004 earthquake took the building down. And yes, this is chaotic. It isn’t a clean narrative. It’s not trying to be. It’s closer to how a mind behaves when it isn’t forcing coherence—something like a solar system forming, debris everywhere, gravity improvising structure after the fact. Then I’m back in the pandemic. Washing my hands after touching a crosswalk button. Cooking ribs in a hot…","meta_description":"There’s writing that tries not to disappoint you—and then there’s writing that behaves like a shopping cart with one broken wheel careening downhill into…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1282,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/danger-vicious-dog-7683978/episodes/e8-clickbait-privilege-grooming-zee-zim-s5-just-kill-me/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/e8-clickbait-privilege-grooming-zee-zim-s5-just-kill-me.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
