Welcome back to the ultimate say-nothing podcast, the Daniel’s Nemesis Podcast.  Let it wash over you, and pay attention to whatever you want, even if that’s the sound more than the content.  Today I’m not saying much about Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Strikes Again and doing more radio shows.  There's an accompanying video to this episode on YouTube:

An audio blog with a twist. I briefly mention Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer's Gone Fishing, Fern Brady's Strong Female Character, and 2004's film The Machinist. I also talk about doing a link as a radio DJ. I'm also doing more on TikTok and YouTube - shorts and full-length videos (that look good) to accompany these episodes.

Daniel’s Nemesis is currently sulking and will be back in a couple of weeks if he hasn’t rage-quit his own narrative.  So, I’m back with another quick quiz. My voice is different as I’m like many of the identities across this universe who have been reimagined, but my function remains.  I am just I. A personal pronoun adjacent to reality, not in the realm of imagination, merely digital sounds for this singular purpose. And I’m totally non-canon.
