The Straight Line

Posted on by wotif

The Straight Line is a perfect podcast for the first day of January.  A day when resolutions are made and people look forward with good intentions for the following year. But this little story isn’t really about resolutions, although it does relate to new beginnings. And that’s all I will say, other than a strong suggestion you stay right on to the end. Because it will certainly make you think. Which is an excellent habit and past-time to undertake all through the year, as well as the first day.

An ordinary couple

Posted on by wotif

An ordinary couple: This little story has a subtle undertone.  It begins with a simple accident leading to a visit to a friend. Here, our key character makes an extraordinary discovery, which will change their friendship forever.  The moral of the story is that sometimes people you think you know best may turn out to be those you know least.

Time

Time: Do not be confused by our podcast cover showing the 8th December. We want to be well prepared ahead of time. You see, for those fans of the Fab Four, that is the day in 1980 that Mark Chapman killed John Lennon in front of the Dakota building in New York.  While it is just possible that those younger listeners may ask ” Who were the Fab Four,” and “Who is John Lennon,” it is more likely they really know. But it is unlikely they feel as much anguish as Violet Flaherty, the luckless lady in this podcast.

Anne of 1000 Days

Posted on by wotif

Anne of 1000 Days is a true story. Not much action, it is true, but plenty of emotive value. Not only that, but it represents a vast number of our elderly citizens. To say they are a ‘dying breed’ is literally true, for age is their enemy, and one that everyone must face eventually.

Ray, the Refrigerator Man

Posted on by wotif

Ray, the Refrigerator Man. This is a true story. It brings to light two factors –  the background and lifestyle of Ray, and our reaction, as a middle-aged couple living in a totally different world.  And yet, with the passage of time, and the work cycle, we find ourselves sharing a cup of coffee, and his viewpoints.

The Grot Spot

Posted on by wotif

The Grot Spot is a true story. It was the affectionate name I gave to a small unit I rented for a year in Brisbane many years ago. I was probably on the onset of a midlife crisis – but didn’t know it. Instead, I chose to run away from home for a wonderful week in which I did many new things and met a good many interesting people. But I didn’t write one single word.

Time, Gentlemen, Please

Posted on by wotif

Time, Gentlemen Please: This story is not really about time, or even Rolex. Years ago, there was always an irony in the fact that a Rolex watch was often given to retirees after a lifetime of service to a company. At the very time in his life when time is of far less importance.  Even so, in some ways, the watch would represent a man’s life.  The Rolex itself, prized for its accuracy, also represents the highest level of achievement.
