Recorded during quarantine amidst sketchy emotional conditions, technological ineptitude, and cultural upheaval, this is the continuation and evolution of the first season, created by enigmatic (and currently M.I.A.) author known as ‘bibles’ or ‘appropouture’. The show boasted another name when bibles aired the first few episodes, however, he changed it to Alt Write in response to events occurring on the cultural landscape in 2021. Ostensibly, it’s an interview show. However, it differs from other podcasts insofaras host and guest alike battle constant distractions, excessive noise and the glitching inherent in hosting an audio production in shifting conditions that can be downright hostile to the auditory experience (if not to pristine sound quality or unbroken trains of thought). It was a show made by people on the go.

Bibles wanted to add in heightened layers of unpredictability and intrigue for season 2. At least that’s how I interpreted my marching orders which were fairly free-form. During the early phases of our year together, recording nearly every day, we listened to The Caretaker’s ‘Everywhere at the End of Time’ and aligned ourselves to a similar concept of deterioration (either due to some organic issue like dementia, or being obliterated by one’s own personality, work, family, etcetera). We agreed (for the most part) on the approach to acoustically interpret the descent into madness (obscurity) using layered aural elements until everything and everyone’s drowned in fuzz, left in fragments before coming full circle to a ‘still space’ (the final episode is free of much of the overwhelming noise and confusion that’s become the hallmark of the show). We all have our roles. The factory is the main character.

Within the context of Alt Write, personalities spiral and are augmented/reduced in such a way that reality, hallucination and raw perception dovetail like an autofictive manuscript. I recommend listening to the show from the episode 1 season 1 to fully GROK it. Hear the intensity grow as it reaches the ‘climactic’ second season finale. This podcast/broadcast can be likened to an audiobook for lit geeks, fanbois and grrrls or anyone, creatively inclined or otherwise, who hungers for confusing, amusing, and disturbing experimental expressions of culture.

During its airing it routinely boasted a robust eight listeners. Due to yet another glitch the Spotify app’s playback is unintentionally accelerated making for an exceptionally challenging listen— opposing forces in action as entertainment. Available on most podcast platforms (e.g. Apple, podbean).

Author Jesse Hilson provides one of the best, if not THE ONLY, assessments of this now defunct (?) broadcast:
