Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head. Along the way I will focus on some of the stories that have shaped my career and my life, as well as reading from my diaries and offering my take on the wider world. Stay safe, h P.S I began this journey just as CoVid-19 took hold and changed our lives, possibly forever, so it seems apt to reference that in the naming of the podcast.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-27T14:21:52.560369+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-corona-diaries-744184"},"episode":{"title":"Chapter 257.

It all started a few weeks ago when we happened to mention, quite casually as it transpired, that neither of us were moved by the music of Rush. As it turned out a goodly number of the purple community were a little vexed by this admission. So we decided that maybe we should take some time to revisit Rush, and asked for some listening recommendations which the said Purps duly provided. And this episode is our response to that process….would we be won over to the musical charms of the Alex, Geddy & Neil? Love’n’anticipation h P.S the albums that Ant and I put forward for evaluation are as follows; Jason Isbell - Southeastern Massive Attack - Mezzanine Trueloves Gutter - Richard Hawley Hats - The Blue Nile","meta_description":"It’s all about personal growth this week as Ant and yours truly open ourselves up to the process of re-evaluation.
