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 261.

Firstly we can get half a podcast out of literally anything, the example for today is me making a decision to nip out for some lunch. Secondly because we can't actually deliver what we plan for any episode whatsoever within the allowed time slot, we are invariably finishing off the thing that we didn't finish last time. So again, using today as the example, we have a crack at the few questions that we didn't get to in the last Purple Q&A episode, because last time out we were too busy banging on about something else - not that I can remember what that was. Anyway thanks to Kenton, Mike and Wendy for putting forward your questions.
