Night Feed Thoughts Season 2 Episode 3.m4a

Hallo!

Some people have been asking about how to get the night feed thoughts, as I’m just recording voice notes on my phone and chucking them up on dropbox as an m4a.

If you’re on the Patreon app on your phone, you should just be able to click play on it as an embedded link. Other...

On behalf of Alice who is otherwise occupied right now please join me in welcoming Razor Fraser into the world.

Alice and Razor are safe and doing well.

There is a #baby-wishes section of the Discord if you wish to add a message there too.

Ask Not When The Bell Will Toll For You

Today I am 40 weeks pregnant. For reference, that is so pregnant. It’s as pregnant as you’re meant to get before you stop being pregnant. I feel very watched pot refusing to boil.

Unfortunately for me, it looks like I’m very comfortable to live in, and so far there are no real signs ...

The Unseen Horizon (Take 2)

ETA - Hallo, I had to repost this, because it appeared in my App this morning in a complete garble, which I assumed had come across to you all, but turned out it was just my App, or posssssibl...

The Unseen Horizon

Personal Update / Mat Leave Pending / TMI

I'm one week off my 'official due date' date, which means somewhere in the next three ish weeks, the new baby will "arrive" (such a benignly passive word for what is such an extremely process-ful exper...

Happy Birthday: here’s some free stuff! [Patreon exclusive codes for CHRONOS and Twist]

Hallo!

In the tradition of Burmese Buddhism I was brought up with, birthdays are where you give other people little presents. In the spirit of that, and as promised, here is the free link to download both of my last solo shows: CHRONOS and Twist as a pair from GoFasterStripe.

If my ...

New Year Sets Sail

On Boxing Day, the boats set sail for the Sydney To Hobart Yacht race; they swoop out of the mouth of the harbour under whatever sail-type is most fashionable/technically proven this year.

If I’m in Sydney, I try to watch the beginning of the race - a family tradition to sit with a bowl ...

Baby Bundle Christmas Special: Twist [With Bonus CHRONOS] is up!

Right!

Shows! Solo shows! Come get your brand new Alice Fraser solo shows!

So, I’ll be making these available to Patreon supporters for free after they’ve been up for a month, but if you can’t wait, want something to watch or digitally gift before Christmas, or if you want to s...

New Tea With Alice: Nelly Thomas - Victims and PowerCast

Nelly Thomas is an activist, author and comedian. We connected properly after Cal Wilson's funeral and I was recently on her podcast about relationships, Dear Nelly. 

This was a wide ranging conversation about everything from t how we think of ourselves to brains and how they work, the...

20% Identity

Not sure where to zoom in on this train of thought, and what needs to go where for it to make sense, so I’ll just start.

Here’s some stuff I’ve been thinking about this week. Thanks to John Luke Roberts and the Tea With Alice Salon attendees this week for letting me articulate it to m...

Day worm and Night beetle.

On Monday I finished up a long day of parenting and home-making by feeding Laser Fraser dinner, putting her to bed and then catching the 90 minute train to Brisbane to record The Bugle on Vinyl. It’s a strange thing to have a work day technically start at 10pm. Though I wrote most of the jokes...

Hauntings and Foreshadowings

Exciting News

After all the shenaniganry and delays that one expects with big logistical life-shifts, I have now officially got my furniture into the place where I'll be nesting/spawning. I am putting together a little podcast studio in my walk in wardrobe l. This year I ha...

Birthdays

Today would have been my mum’s birthday. It’s nice to think about her and how immensely good she was. A fun and unexpected gift is discovering how much my daughter’s brain is built to the same blueprint as my mum’s was, so that I get these daily moments of Deja-vu seeing the way Laser loo...

This Week in Alice

Have just returned from a packing-up-the-stuff-of-mine-that’s-at-dad’s trip to Sydney. It was extremely lovely and I caught up with a lot of nice people. Logistically it was annoying in almost every way, because it turns out the two major skills for packing boxes and moving furniture are the ...

Numbers and Order

Hallo lovely people, Chris Skinner (Bugleverse Producer, good luck to him), just texted to say The Gargle has 3 million ish downloads, which added to The Last Post means my Bugleverse shows have been downloaded about 10 million times. Which is very cool, and also I don’t really have a way to c...

New Tea With Alice is Up: Mina Starsiak Hawk

It was so interesting and fun to have tea with Mina; she's had such an unusual experience of public life, while managing to stay down to earth and connected enough to have thoughtful conversations like this. You can support Mina's podcast, Mina AF 2023-11-16 21:06:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Today’s Salon Cancelled

Hallo lovely people! I’m in the middle of a routine Glucose Tolerance Test (preggo admin), but they started the test late, so I will be lying around feeling vaguely unpleasant and having blood drawn at intervals to make sure I don’t have gestational diabetes during the time scheduled for this...

Spherical Thinking, Reality Distortion, Depth Perception

Into the third trimester, and my literal body-building career is going smoothly so far. Have hit australia in time to have the whole machinery tell me to slow down, and am enjoying the emergent sense of a little personality with reactions and moods elsewhere in my body than where my ‘me’ mood...

Back in Aus

I’ve landed in Australia! My child has turned 2!

I took a business week off for the process of traveling back from the U.K., (stopped in Singapore for a few days to break the journey, because 26 hours preg with toddler felt like… a lot) and now I’m back I want to make sure...

Anniversary

A poem I wrote about my mum, here with us as kids. It’s the anniversary of her death today and I’m thinking about my friend Cal who died yesterday and the things they had in common, and the shapes they left in the world.

I feel like when someone we love dies, our job is to c...

Patreon’s Reboot, new horizons.

I got an email this morning about the new bloopy Patreon icon. I’m always a bit disoriented when businesses do such rebrands, though of course some are very successful and some aren’t.

I worry that Patreon has done that thing that tech businesses do of taking too much venture capital f...

The Spirit Of The Desk

The desk I’m writing on in Bologna has a number of these excellent but creepy figures hidden in the wood.

Laser Fraser is flipping through the paper book of Neil Gaiman’s Pirate Stew while listening to Neil Gaiman read his book Pirate Stew on Audible on repeat while I finish...

This Week in Alice

Last weekend was a wild one of travel and podcasts. I went directly from Global Pillage at the London Podcast festival to The Bugle at Leicester Square Theatre, which was just so lovely. I am such a fan of Chris Addison’s jokewriting, and despite having done a few bugles ‘togetherâ...

New Tea With Alice: Sian Docksey

The new Tea With Alice is another of the conversations I had during the Edinburgh Fringe in my tiny flat. I saw Sian’s show partly because I always love Sian’s ‘straight’ (alternative) standup and in part because I was curious about what pole dancing and stand up comedy look li...

Writers Meeting Today: Alison Spittle Guest Captaining

Hallo! I am traveling back from London to Italy today after all my Bugle / Podcast / Scan shenanigans. Unfortunately, travel being what it is at the moment, I’m not on decent enough wifi to do the writers meeting.

Alison Spittle will run the show for today. She did such a good job last t...

The Week of a Thousand Self

D’Ancey LaGuarde

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night seized with a brilliant idea for a completely different project. The day before, a super cool writer and director asked me to help her punch up a script.

Clearly we are in that phase of the...

TWIST ANNOUNCEMENT - Salon clip for those who couldn't make it

Hallo

I recorded this small section of this morning's salon for people who wanted the announcement [spoilers for TWIST if you haven't seen it yet], but couldn't make the salon. 

First twist is that I'm going to be taking a step back from live gigging, second twist is one of the m...
