Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones
One December in Sydney, out of lonely desperation to tell my story, I sat in a park under a tree and recorded a podcast. I’ve released a new one each week since November 2017, and will continue to do so every Tuesday, forever.

Ep 218 - Grumpy Boy
Tuesday Jan 18, 2022
Tuesday Jan 18, 2022
Well if it isn't a grumpy little boy getting angry at himself for RUINING EVERYTHING!! That's right, even after a beautiful hike through the rainforest and a night at an Airbnb with a pool overlooking the city, I still can't manage to not flip out when I make a mistake uploading content to TikTok. The best moment of this podcast was when I laughed for ages remembering an old man zipping up his jacket. Enjoy!

Ep 217 - Thankyou To Manscaped
Tuesday Jan 11, 2022
Tuesday Jan 11, 2022
I've got a sponsor on the podcast! Manscaped emailed me direct and sent me a bunch of free stuff, so I shaved my balls at my mates place in Brisbane, then talked about it on the podcast. Also talked about not engaging with anger and trying to be happy. Something for everyone, really.

Ep 216 - I Would Rather Die Than Live In Shame
Tuesday Jan 04, 2022
Tuesday Jan 04, 2022
Happy New Year! Same giggling idiot on the mic. Smoking is cool again, and one day soon I reckon the vape companies are going to buy an airline and let people smoke on flights. It makes so much sense! So glad I don't vape, it somehow seems way more fucked. I hope you guys had a great NYE. 2022 feels wonderful!

Ep 215 - I Can’t Be Happy, That’s Why I’ll Never Live in Adelaide
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
I'm starting to understand Adelaide. Every year I come back here, and every year it makes me so angry, but I'm starting to realise: I'm not supposed to like it here. Adelaide isn't for me, I'm supposed to find it difficult to get around on public transport, and to find a cool cafe on a public holiday. It's not for people like me with our vain ambitions and selfish dreams, it's for people who want to live in a place that actively shuns us away from it, off to our frenzied cities and stressful lives. I'll never live here, and that's just the way they like it.

Ep 214 - Christmas
Tuesday Dec 21, 2021
Tuesday Dec 21, 2021
I'm in Adelaide for Christmas. I spent the first 30 mins of this podcast getting angry at various aspects of the covid testing process that I've been subjected to during the last few days. Some lady in Sydney, the queues in Adelaide, the bureaucratic nonsense of the whole thing. Then towards the end it dawned on me that maybe the reason I'm a little emotional is because that's just what happens at Christmas.

Ep 213 - The Detritus of Capitalism
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Just landed in Sydney after what I am confidently proclaiming was the best weekend of the year! Our house party on Saturday night was amazing, and various stressful things are feeling more and more resolved with time. I bought a weird thing from a two dollar shop on Thursday - couldn't tell you what it was, but the package said 'COMMODITY'. My housemate's boyfriend called it 'the detritus of capitalism' which I thought was incredible, so that's the title of the pod this week. Enjoy!

Ep 212 - Boort
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
I spent the weekend in Boort staying at the beautiful caravan park next to the lake with some friends, and even performed to the mayor of Boort. But all the caravans in the world couldn't stop me from utterly humiliating myself in front of the physio today. Truly humbled. At least I'm not a ten year old kid smoking a cigarette.

Ep 211 - Be KindTo Yourself
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Another podcast recorded at 11pm after another breathless day of pointless stressing. I'm trying to remind myself to take moments for me - on Saturday night I took myself to dinner at Marion Wine Bar on Gertrude St and it was absolutely incredible. Also last week I went to the Van Gogh exhibition at Lume, and then got a massage. It's been great, but somehow today I'm right back to freaking out all day. It never ends.

Ep 210 - Overcommitting Leads to Stress
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
I've been stressed for the last few days. I've been working a lot and doing gigs and not giving myself any time to unwind. I've been feeling irritable and sad. Last night I had some friends over for dinner which was really nice. The reason I'm typing in such short sentences here is I want to say how I'm feeling without getting too far into it, that's what the podcast is for. Enjoy!

Ep 209 - Dietician
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
I went to a dietician today because I had a blood test and my cholesterol is a little bit high. Learnt all about trans fats, which I've started calling trams fats, because I think it's funny to pretend to be really stupid. I'm not stupid though, I'm actually a very clever boy, with slightly high cholesterol. Thankyou.
