This audio first appeared on my weekly newsletter here: https://documentally.substack.com/p/a-wandering-existence-2160 While walking the dog  I spotted a man coming along the road pulling a four-wheeled cart loaded with what looked like everything he owned.

A quick chat with @RobAmour in Microbus in Gateshead

This was recorded for documentally.net but uploaded to AudioBoom in order to test mobile upload. It failed due to the image being too large and then after resizing it failed due to bandwidth being limited. So is generally a bit of a faff.

This was recorded for www.documentally.net I used the app VRP7 to record the audio and then uploaded the audio as well as a photo using the Audioboom browser. The first attempt failed when I recorded straight into the browser using the browser based recording interface on AudioBoom. All data was lost with an accidental thumb swipe.

Recorded for http://Documentally.net and #AudioMo This year marks the 18th consecutive gathering at the grave of George Orwell in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire. It all began weeks before the 2007 financial crisis.

This audio was recorded for #AudioMo Day 23 and http://Documentally.net. Unfortunately I made a mistake with the mic set up but as it was still audible I left it as it was. I just added my comment on the mistake and a brief cameo from a previous conversation I had with Lauren Laverne. Otherwise it is as is.

What are you doing on June 25th? I'll be at a picnic and you are more than welcome. George Orwell, renowned author and social critic, remains exceptionally relevant in our modern world. His life and writings offer us profound insights into power dynamics, government control, surveillance, and the manipulation of information. Orwell's works, particularly "1984" and including "Animal Farm," pro...
