Another update to my podcast with Episode 19 (this will be the last one for a while)…and I’m cutting & pasting Ai’s descriptive preamble to my show, which again, I preferred over my own. It’s a seductive tech advance, and I have my own misgivings – yet, seemingly, not enough to stop me for using it as my intro!🤣

“A Roughneck’s Journey: Trials and Triumphs” In Episode 19 of the podcast, the host returns after a six-month hiatus, sharing tales from a bustling summer at the Shavasana Gallery and Cafe on Mayne Island. As the busy season winds down, the host revisits past ventures, including a brief stint as a roughneck in the oil fields of northern Alberta in the 1970s.

The story, titled “I Could Tell You Wasn’t a Roughneck,” takes listeners on a journey with two young men chasing the allure of big money in the oil sands. Through humorous and harrowing experiences, the episode highlights the challenges and camaraderie of life on the rigs, culminating in a decision that alters the host’s path.

Listeners are invited to explore these vivid tales, which are also available in the host’s book, “All Roads at Any Time.” As the episode concludes, the host reflects on the current state of the world, offering words of encouragement and hope.”

    You know George, I disagree with your assessment regarding the AI intro. It doesn’t sound like you in any way at all. Not onside with the verbage. 😉 FYI My $.02 your pal , Kris

    Hi Kris! Yeah, I hear you…it’s a little too “promo”, but at least it has a more robust message than I was crafting – keeping an eye on it and if I tire of the format I’ll revert to my own message. I’m just determined not to let them modify content. Merry Krismas!
