Set: Act & Move On (If you miss the faux pearls, you get the ducks.)

Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza - "Act and Move On (If you miss the faux pearls, you get the ducks.)" - Show #436, from July 5, 2012 [Full show and samples originally here.]

Working titles:


This show is about people, and things and ideas, all coming into contact.


Not going with the flow


Gravity (perhaps it's just another word for fate)


Fields around us


It's all so easy once you let go


There's magic in three


It's no good being just one


You're the real person


This program changed my life


These two-minute sections


Act and move on


(If you miss the faux pearls, you'll get the ducks.)


Call without response


Just another shell game


Space departments all around me


Go down to the basement, play with the computer


All the people on this earth are truly one


You always wanted to put more things on than you had tracks for.


I like to introduce things


Doing it in real life
