Programmatic Podcasts

I am testing some code that builds podcasts or news reels automatically. Each item has an expiry date – so old listings will not appear past the expiry date. Also the tool can randomise or date order or priority order the items as often as required during the day. An intro and outro are at either end of the media.

On the Adamant

On the Adamant Nicolas Philibert

France, Japan | 109 min | 2022

Synopsis:

The Adamant is a unique day care centre: it is a floating structure. Located on the Seine in the heart of Paris, it welcomes adults suffering from mental disorders, offering them care that grounds them in time and space, and helps them to recover or keep up their spirits. The team running it is one of those that try to resist the deterioration and dehumanization of psychiatry as best it can. The film invites us to board it and meet the patients and caregivers who invent its life day to day.

Happy World Radio Day 2024. This site as been offline for a few weeks with the teaser that it returns today. What was the tease? Where is the big reveal?

There isn’t a big reveal as once intended. A career move into television in January has had me busy in a new job so for now here is what is new.
