I'm Dean, and this is a podcast about random topics I wanna talk about, that will in no way improve your life. I will not stick to a posting schedule. I will not stick to any recording length. With that, off we...trueepisodichttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/stuff-dean-says-11--72831567Come and hear the message from our first SpeakPipe caller! LOL!

On our website, our ONE project will be taking submissions in June! We are looking for a Horror short story between 2 and 4 thousand words. Go to picpublishing.ca and click on ONE and the submissions link will have all the details. I hope to see something from you soon! https://www.picpublishing.ca/onesubs.html

I currently have a painting in the Members Exhibition at the Button Factory Art Gallery in Waterloo, until Friday, June 19th.

I have SpeakPipe! Click here: https://www.speakpipe.com/StuffDeanSays to send me voice messages (like old-school voicemail!) without downloading anything, it’s not an app, and it’s free. So in the spirit of “pirate radio” you call-in and record a message or a question, which I could possibly use or answer in the next recording. Just make sure it’s as boring and dull as possible.

I will have a painting in the Members Exhibit at the Button Factory Art Gallery in Waterloo, from Saturday, May 9th - Friday, June 19th.

I have been making regular appearances at the monthly Waterloo Public Library Open Mic Poetry Nights, and the occasional open mics at other locations as I come across them - I’ve been really having fun with those.

In the basement studio now, I chat about how September's been going in my new "retired" life, and some odd and unexpected negativity that's come my way. But also good news about keeping up with a healthy gym/eat/sleep lifestyle, within what my hands can do. We had our 30th Anniversary, I talk about some writing, art and the KWSA, and new from this black thumb, omg ...PLANTS? LOL!

I've added one more "What I hear vs..." at the Sarah McLachlan concert, and a short kiddos update.
