This episode focuses on a short biography of Marilyn Monroe. It deals with her personal life rather than her on screen persona. I wanted to tell the story of a person who was smarter than everyone thought she was and look at the human qualities of this woman's short life.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=TPNGMPQDMZMZS)

In this episode, I share a short story I wrote a while back about a man who thinks that he has won the lottery. He dreams about what he could do with his winnings and is amazed at how his luck has changed...or has it?  This episode is also available as a blog post: http://clydegoodenough.com/2020/01/08/the-lottery/ Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=TPNGMPQDMZMZS)

In this episode, I read an experimental short story I wrote about relationships. It is a twelve line narrative- each line relates to a month of the calendar year. It explores the fragility of the human experience and how quickly it can move from blossoming love to the end of something that was promised to last a lifetime.

The following is my thoughts on the idea of 'difference'. I've been thinking about this a lot lately after all thats's been happenng in the news about 'Black Lives Matter'  and the very recent judgement handed down in the George Floyd murder case. I'm trying to get my head around the necessity to categorise people. Why is it bad to be different? If someone is different to you, then surely, you are different to them too? So does this mean that you should been seen in a negative way too? Anyway, this episode is just my thoughts on the subject. No definite conclusions. That's why I called it 'Maybe.'

The reading of a poem, Freedom is Slavery, that I wrote in 2019 about the school system in Australia in the 21st century. Even in this day and age- the era of technology, advancements, new ideas and new ways of thinking, our school system has not changed since the Victorian age- We expect our children to be individuals, but they MUST conform to do so!
