Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #10 - Misunderstandings

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

Asphyxia's delirium continues in this episode with excerpts from a 1921 paranoid etymological tract - 'Puss in Pye Corner' - jutting into commuter-friendly low-budget podcast matter and dictaphonics.

Finally, a chance to inspect a British Library Suppressed Safe book is presented: 'Diving for Treasure' (1926) by G. Williams. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 4 implodes under its own gravitas, birthing a new star in the form of 'spoken word newspaper reports' from the early 2000s.

These mishaps befalling the narrator - filtered through newspaper bastardy - rehash quondam-embarrassments associated with bin-diving and aggressive Pure Volunteering.
