“Where do I start? Somehow I found this on IMDB, falling down a rabbit hole that branched from, of all things, Ash vs. The Evil Dead. It’s actually a bit like the threads weave together features of engineering to those of lived experience.
I was attracted to the podcast knowing nothing about it but the small, ellipse-truncated blurb about the chams and chims of fluid dynamics (as far as I can tell, nonsense words injected by the storyteller to firm up the essential truth about the obscurity of life, the universe, and everything) — the very words that compelled me to chase their meanings. I was unprepared for the delicate story, told as autobiography, of life events that are placed into an often pithy (yet still profound!) analogy of engineering principles.
To boot, I’ve long been a fan of Kurtwood Smith, since his incredibly vivid and comfortably fluid performance of Clarence Boddicker, and his recitation of the material is no less vivid and fluid. There are those that read parts, and those that truly perform them, lending life to words just as an avid reader might build images and personal feelings (even attachments!) from the written word. Kurtwood Smith does just that.”
