This week, the passing of the late great Stan Lee has left the ‘Sorting It Out Podcast’ team somewhat reflective. What is the future of our ever growing project? Does great podcast come with great responsibility?     


With the death of a hero comes the rebirth of a vision. A grand vision. One unburdened by the shackles of former selves and tired ideals. A beautiful place where we can all gather together to share stories; our hopes and fears; our qualms and our triumphs…


Jks, we just want a format change so we can talk a little bit more shit.

 

Here at the ‘Sorting It Out Podcast’ we have a love for our listeners as well as an appreciation for open discussion. And we want to keep that dialogue and audience connection healthy and reciprocal. Episode #16 trials the idea of introducing reoccurring segments and explores how the SIOP crew hopes to keep the process of creating content enjoyable. So if you were looking for a hard biting deep dive into the most pressing social issue of the week, then maybe this latest installment isn’t for you.


But, if you’re after a few minutes in the day to take solace in the company of friends and some stories, whether warming or whimsical, then I’d say we’re all in luck.


And though it may seem like we’re letting loose the reins and perhaps taking it too easy this week, in truth, we’re only trying to be the best of ourselves; an ability that we all share and that can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary, maybe even marvellous.


So in that spirit and to episodes to come, we say, “Excelsior!”


And rest in peace Mr Stan Lee, a visionary and a marvel to many.
