#016- Roald Dahl Censorship and More

Roald Dahl has recently become a hot topic of debate regarding censorship, sensitivity, and posthumous changes to art. At the start of 2023, Puffin Books decided to make hundreds of revisions to Dahl’s large collection of works due to feedback from sensitivity readers. Many of these revisions change or erase any text which discusses weight, race, gender, and violence. These changes have many people, including ourselves, asking, “What do we think about this?” In this episode, we discuss our opinions on these revisions, the implications of censorship, and if an author can be separated from his works.

#065 PPP- Cultural refugees

This is only my second show of 2020 and during the span of time that has elapsed, it seems like the whole world has changed. In this episode, guests Austin, Shannon and I discuss snow-piled trampolines, some of the positive sides of quarantine, and the postulation that we might all be cultural refugees. My intent is to develop my consistency in releasing episodes in the coming months as well as improve the production and conceptual quality of this little endeavor. I am really enjoying this process and realize that the more I improve the more likely listeners will tune in. I know that attention is a very valuable thing, so I’m appreciative of yours.

#028 PPP- Ramble- New House Podcast

Bit of a life update, we bought a new house! The process of moving has occupied most of my free time, and sadly my website and podcast got pushed to the back burner. We are now settling in, and I hope to get back on a more regular schedule. In this episode, I give a life update, define myself as a non-fundamentalist, and discuss the impact on the art you "choose" to consume.

Gunner Widowski is a freelance photographer living and operating out of Amarillo, Tx. I first came across Gunner when he moved in down the street from my house. Around the same time that he moved into my neighborhood, his pictures started to creep into my instagram feed. In this interview, we cover how he got into photography, what makes Amarillo unique, and how intention can change a culture. I am hoping that this is the first of many appearances on the podcast.
