I read out live and discuss a well known essay called Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau. It is still as relevant today as it was when it was first written in 1849. This essay was a major influence on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King in their use of non-violent, peaceful protesting. I thought it was appropriate to read this essay now because of the current, worldwide protesting that is calling for a ceasefire of the genocidal, Nakba 2.0 situation in Gaza right now.

!!! PLEASE READ IN FULL. SNIFFLES at just the start !!! Like an interview with a soccer player after a match 😄😄🤦 I explain the two main reasons why I make this podcast. I should also say that I had been thinking about making a podcast series for about a year or so and then one day in December 2022 when I was going for my usual evening run I made two audio notes during that run about my main reasons for wanting to make a podcast series. Then as soon as I got home after that run I wanted to make a recording of me elaborating on why I wanted to make a podcast. So, having just returned home after the run outside in the cold winter air, I therefore had a little bit of sniffles for about the first two minutes in this recording, but then it went away after that. Also, when I started making this recording I thought it was going to be just an audio note for myself, like a first draft, but then after a minute or so I got into the flow of it and then I started imagining that I was talking to an audience. So, I'm quite happy with the content of this audio, the only thing I would like to leave out would be the sniffles, but it's ok, you have to start somewhere, and this is where I started, ha.

In this episode I read out a short story that I wrote myself, titled, On the Inside. It is very much so in the autofiction genre. Autofiction, short for autobiographical fiction, is a genre of literature that combines elements of autobiography and fiction. Hope you like it!
