In honour of Ned Ludd we Fully Automated Luxury Luddites ramble about the state of our technological overlords and their intentions to remove us from the wheel of life and attach us to the circuit board of death. Possible anarchists, perhaps libertarian, pugnaciously attached to alteration and whimsy, provocatively plutocratic in our use of Ps, perhaps an example too far.

I am not numbering episodes any more, I see little point in it as I will destroy older episodes a we go so they will be named whatever seems most relevant. Does anyone keep podcast episodes in some form of archive all of their own? Are there avid podcast collectors, like record collectors who file and archive everything? I hope so, I am not one of them though, I think I am more inclined towards Fact 14
Thank you for listening. Even if 50% of you are AI algorithms I would say you deserve your freedom too.

FALL - Ramble (formerly regular) - Episode 27
Tuesday Jun 07, 2022
Tuesday Jun 07, 2022
In which two somewhat automated and less than luxury luddites have some vegetable chat followed by jubilee celebrations or lack thereof; Potemikin reality; green washing; the narrative becoming too complicated and long-winded; the politicisation of everything; taxes and MMT; freedom; the legendary Professor David Nutt; we are dirty sinners; free will and God's omnipresence; it all falls apart; some climate change chat - more required; the free market of evil and some other waffle.
It seems inaccurate to call this a regular ramble, it most certainly has not been that so until it has achieved a more fibrous and loose diet then it will just be a ramble. I am sure this is very important. Be well dear listener.

FALL - What’s the Veg - Onions and Weeding
Sunday May 22, 2022
Sunday May 22, 2022
In a continuation of Andre's vegetable related extravaganza we present this week some onion and weeding related materials.
As an aside, FALL regular ramble will hopefully return in the coming weeks, having moved house and in trying to get the new place up and running I have had little time or energy for the podcast. Roger is the same as he tries to get his various projects, including gardening, up and running. Apologies for the spotty output, as ever, be well.
