Torty Talks

I'm stunned by what we can do these days and I think you should be too. In this chat I hope to enlighten younger listeners to the marvels they just accept and let them see the wonders yet to come - and guard themselves , or prepare themselves for the future. Yes, that is rain and thunder in the background - both a filler and a calming influence. #physics #crystal radios #Technology, history #Thunder #rain --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

Written and read by me, Bert, a man with no future is a Sci Fi and possibly comic, story of a man who's best friend is not his dog, indeed he probably doesn't know what a dog is.. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

This is very much aimed at children aged 8 or less - or more if you like that sort of thing. It's in five chapters linked by music.  I hope yo like it ! It tells the story oh the feelings people get around the turn of the year and what happened when the feelings felt things themselves ! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

Thinking my way though an irritating day - yes, I do get irritated a lot, but I make the most of it. I also make siwriter.co.uk - an app of beauty and utility for anyone who wants to write something without getting out of bed. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Monologue --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

What is a fact ? Who says so ? Why do they say so and who can you believe anyway ? Well, I have concerned myself with these problematic thoughts in this podcast.  #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Monologue #Politics --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

... what I tend to find I am doing when not either making a podcast or now - lecturing.  This is a stream of irritation rant with an  occasional positive sort of solution thrown in to stave off depression and dull the angst. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Monologue #Autobiography --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

This is a re-recording of a story I wrote decades ago and updated a few decades later and recorded one decade ago - so the original sounds a bit ropey. What does rope sound like I wonder... Anyway, I shall recreate all my old recordings I think. If I do, this shall be the first one ! It tells the tale of the dawn of personal computing and its impact on my life - note - forty years ago. I must ell a new tale starting from where this one ends, don't hold your breath though. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Environment #Greens #Monologue #Politics #History #Autobiography --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

This is an explanation of why I use the word Torty in all the stuff I do, my podcasts, my websites and my computer programs - yes, I write them too.  It's another partial family history pet story. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Environment #Greens #Monologue #Autobiography --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

Oh, I'm fed up with politics and the environment - so I'd better do something about them. Thoughts that I need to put on your chest.. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #NotExactlyComedy #Environment #Greens #Monologue #Politics #History #Autobiography --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

As I write and as I create this podcast, I am getting ready for a live TV debate. I have been on live TV many times before, but somehow this feels more real. It's a Politics Special and I am expected to say something, directly to politicians - sadly, about whom I know nothing, but I know a lot about trying to be one. This is what this podcast is about - in part. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast #Over60AndStillGoingStrong #Environment #Greens #Monologue #Politics #History #Autobiography --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

#Siwriter.co.uk is the website I have created for this wonder - text entry typing app.  What is #SiWriter ? SiWriter  lets you take notes by typing with just one hand, the other can hold  the iPad. This is not 'hunt and peck' one finger poking, SiWriter  provides finger-tip positioned active key areas on an iPad screen which  you tap in easily remembered combinations. This will produces all the  letters, numbers, punctuation marks and other symbols of the standard  (Latin 2) character set - that is, everything an English reader would  expect to have available.   The SiWriter is not a new idea, cool  it certainly is, but it is not new. In use it looks like the '#Padds' in  Sci Fi, people tend to notice as you rattle away SiWriting notes on an  iPad, they won't hear you though, it is as silent as your fingertips.   The SiWriter app is a software implementation of the CyKey from Bellaire Electronics http://www.cykey.co.uk/  . The Cykey has th

This is part of the rehearsals for 'Die Meister Prommer Von Kensington' - a silly thing we Prommers put on for the day of the Last Night. The people in it shall remain un-named here - but, they know who they are. I doubt anyone other than people in the performance would find this even faintly interesting, but I love it ! The are - many - more tapes like this... #TortyTalks  #SimonAnthony  #TortoisesoftEnterprises  #acting@torty.org.uk  #PromConcerts #queues #Groperetta #PAFC --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

#Impossible things, #time isn't real. #comedy, #monologue, me talking about stuff - why now is better than then because stuff now is impossible, and Time is an illusion - it's just the direction we live in.   #TortyTalks  #SimonAnthony  #TortoisesoftEnterprises  #acting@torty.org.uk  #Comedy #ComedyPodcast  #Over60AndStillGoingStrong  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

I had a phone call today from our son, he is very depressed, almost too deeply... He wants the world to hear his plight and share his pain and that of other folk who have also become addicted to prescribed drugs - intended to help them - but which made them all far far worse. This is just part of his story and it is in no way a happy one. My comedy is in other podcasts. This podcast is supposed to make, or help you think. It is painfully real. #TortyTalks  #SimonAnthony  #TortoisesoftEnterprises  #acting@torty.org.uk  #Politics #MentalHealth #depression #addiction --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

At last #Space is once more in the news - because humans are in need of it and going there.

Me thinking my way through how and why everything exists. I've got more to say and it keeps growing, but I think this is enough for now. I try to explain things as simply as possible - and find new avenues on the way... #TortyTalks  #SimonAnthony  #TortoisesoftEnterprises  #acting@torty.org.uk  #Comedy #ComedyPodcast  #Over60AndStillGoingStrong  #Environment #Cosmos #physics #existance #Monologue --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message
