Subscriber bonus content: Dead Channel out loud

My friend has a concussion (snow fell on her head off the BQE!!! I asked, via voice memo, whether it was okay to tell you guys that and she said yes, please make people aware of the dangers of Robert Moses, and also that icicles are not the only potential death from above in the winter) and can’t look at screens for extended periods, so she asked if I could record the latest newsletter so she could read it. So as long as I have it, I thought I might as well send some bonus content as a thank-you for subscribing. Substack won’t let me embed a private Soundcloud file, and this is just for you guys so I don’t want to make it public, but if you have a ten-minute gap between podcast episodes to fill you can click through for an audio version of this week’s newsletter. It might be terrible, I recorded it on my phone very hurriedly in between work and dance class and I refuse to play it back, but it exists and if I do another one it’ll be better!
