On this, the summer of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Special K and I head outside the house one late evening to catch a glimpse of the space station making its way round the earth. We are surprised by its speed, size, colour and certainly by the fact that we are actually able to view it. We have less than five minutes to watch it pass overhead.

On the first morning of Podcasters Across Borders in June, the Dude was called up for the first jolt session of the conference. This session is meant to be exactly five minutes and is intended to stimulate the mind and conversation during the break before the next longer scheduled session. True to form The Dude expressed himself in his characteristic stream of consciousness way when the alarm sounded ending his five minutes. We took pity on him however and gave him a precious few more moments to read a dude original poem – irreverent yet moving. By the way the Dude is completely NSFW : that is: not safe for work. You have been warned (audio of the Dude’s jolt courtesy of Whitney Hoffman).
