As some readers know, I upload audio versions of my articles to YouTube, and - as some readers have (correctly) pointed out - this really isn’t the wisest platform to use…
Since I’ve already had two videos removed from there, I will now be posting audio content to Substack as well* (*until I inevitably get permanently banned from YouTube, at which point I will only be posting them to Substack…).
Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy this audio article, the written version of which can be found here.

Thanks Miri. The spoken message adds punch and character to the posts. They bring to mind Alistair Cooke’s Letters from America without the superficiality of transience.
Great title, I wrestle with the question more acutely on difficult days. Mentioned the article on my dog walk and proceeded to discuss 'the meaning of life' 🤷. So sorry Miri to hear about your cat. My German Shepherd is 9 also. Can't take him to a vet again cos the last dose of sedative they gave him was so strong he struggled to come around. Needed a double dose because he is 7 stone. He HATES the vets 😮
