Episode 14 of A Place to Stray.

Content warning: This episode makes explicit and recurring reference to Valentines Day, despite coming out the day afterwards when you thought you might be finally safe from all that. Even more concerningly, Stephen talks about music. And also Sonic the Hedgehog, for some reason. And it's 89 minutes long, for some reason. Enjoy!

Episode 12 of A Place to Stray.

Studio Ghibli has earned its place as one of the most beloved animation studios in the world, having spent decades masterfully exploring the cross-sections between joy and sorrow, whimsy and tragedy.

Instead of just saying that, Stephen spends far too long trying and failing to explain why they might be worth your time, before experiencing the single weirdest night of his life.

Episode 11 of A Place To Stray.

Stephen takes a short break from his children's literature degree to read a children's book. He falls hopelessly in love with it, and spends an hour badly trying to convince you to do so as well. You don't understand, it's SOOOOO good though...

Episode 10 of A Place to Stray.

Having moved over and (kind of) settled in, Stephen waves farewell to bi-weekly podcasts with a review of his first couple of weeks in the UK, and a glance through the things he brought with him. For some reason, unknown even to him, this episode balloons to over an hour long. Help.

Episode 8 of A Place To Stray

Podcasting about podcasting makes its grand, entirely accidental return! Stephen records an episode about AI, hates it, records a bit more about how much he hates it, and then records another section 2 days later to try and Frankenstein the whole thing together. This show is a mess and I don't know why you listen.

Episode 7 of A Place to Stray.

Following a template which is starting to describe most episodes of the show, Stephen becomes interested in something fairly silly and takes it way more seriously than he should. This time, it's Godzilla's turn.
