Danger, Vicious Dog

E9: I'm Broken; S15: That's How I Work

This episode started while I was trying to work something out. Maybe part of what I was working out is what happens when I stop shrinking myself. I don't need to make a

E8: Drawing a Line; S15: And Crossing Over It. Was it a red line? Does anybody know? It's a charcoal drawing.

If you are reading this after listening to the episode, congratulations. You have reached the archive. And, like every archive, this one has been curated. Here is roug

E7: John Cage Made Me Love Everybody; S15: I Want to Tell Them, So I Do (And Meghan and Harry Do Too, They Aren't Monsters, Are They?)

Before this episode was released, the author sent its cover image to a couple of people close to him, along with the following note: “They get put on a ship to fly to th

E6: He Looked Like You to Me; S15: What Did He Look Like to You?

I have a slight fear that explaining this episode will cause me to add something else to it, and I don’t want to. It already seems finished. So this is just information

E5: Well, This Was Surprising; S15: Exactly what I've been trying and trying to say... and I've finally said it.

I made this while walking home. That is becoming a fairly unremarkable sentence for me to write, which may itself be part of the problem. This one started in one place,

E4: The Edge Came With Him; S15: The Bads the Worses and Worstes (Or "The Foster System Survivors")

I have instructed the AI writing this description to deliver a message on my behalf. If the maybes, perhapses, I-thinks, I-don’t-knows, caveats, qualifications, equivoca

E3: Emergent Properties of Chaotic Systems; S15: Plain Gravitas

So, the description of this one is simple: Oh my dear friend. I am just me. Isn't that true? We start with an art song about emergence from chaos. Then we have a three

E2: Kafka Goes to the Castle; S15: And You'd Think That Was Dark Enough Already

This might be kind of boring to read, but I thought it needed a description. I just asked AI to somehow convince you that this episode is a perfect weave of Van Gogh, Kaf

E1: Unfiction; S15: Endless Orgasmic Arc Forever (Of course this is a season opener! Welcome to Season 15 of Danger, Vicious Dog)

A little factual housekeeping, but first I should probably destroy the idea of factual housekeeping. This fact-check has been assembled by an AI. I was not at Pomona in

E10: Low-Entropy Presence; S14: A Perfect Finale to Season 14

Somewhere in this episode, I say that you don’t need professional boundaries if you have good personal boundaries. I stand by it as a deliberately clickbait-y tool for m

E9: What Do You Do with a Confession of Something Like Incest? S14: AI Slopping While I Take My Self Out

Content note: Explicit language and discussion of incest fantasies, masturbation, childhood sexual fantasy, suicide, possible sexual abuse, illness, and death. The title

E8: Tell Me to Wait; S14: Cute Boy, Lucky Day

It’s been more than a week since my last episode—the longest silence since I started this podcast. After months of releasing something almost every day (and sometimes thr

E7: Humanity is the Solution's Problem; S14: Or Tony Stark (or maybe Cher). Hello Dolly. Goodbye. In 5 Billion Years (or less)

What this episode may be saying is that I am trying to figure out what to do with my life. So rather than describe the episode, I am going to present some possible answe

E6: Oops, I Exceeded Reality Again; S14: Jury Duty Cancelled, so this is the result of being snarky on a spiritually bypassing algorithmic visit to Substack drinking mochas at a coffeeshop all morning

A friend of mine from high school recently discovered Suno. Apparently there had been some kind of assault, or accusation, or altercation—I’m still not entirely clear—an

E5: Hyper-Focus Disorder Street Fighter; S14: Yet Another Layer of Self-Regulation When I'm Bored (Or Unambivalently Horny - Thanks Motivational Interviewing)

I have made another thing that I really like, which is inconvenient because I have absolutely no time to promote it. Apparently making things and telling people that you

E4: This Is How I Spend My Evenings (Lucky Me!); S14: Close Out the Closer (Get Closer)

Every time the author describes an episode, the description threatens to become another episode requiring a song, a description—becoming another episode. So he delegated

E3: Sex, Sex, Sex and a Phone; S14: Non-Suggestive Vietnamese Spring Rolls. Or: On Being Versatile

You do realize this episode is called Sex, Sex, Sex and a Phone, right? And the artwork has a blue-haired guy on a telephone while a cute Vietnamese guy stands behind hi

E2: Statistically Significant Ant City; S14: Why not get smaller than right-sized? Life is fractal anyway.

This episode begins with a very comforting question: What is the worst that could happen? I actually like that question. I remember watching a video with Peter Zeihan

E1: Teen Help Line; S14: Sigh... Narrow Shoulders (Season Opener)

A special hello to anyone who clicked because you saw Dolly Parton on the cover. I understand. Dolly died this week, at 80, and I don't think we quite knew what that wa

E10: Bringing a Knife to the Edge; S13: Clickbait Response to Clickbait (Don't worry, it's just Kaposi Sarcoma). Season Finale (Don't worry, Season 14 is on its way)

I accidentally made the artwork for the last episode and this episode into one picture. Which is either a mistake, a concept, or a very efficient use of resources. The
