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 130 - This Time It's Personal
Tuesday May 12, 2020
Tuesday May 12, 2020
Didn't mean to talk about personal, love-life shit today, but I did. I guess that's what's on my mind, I'm excited about it, I'm really having a great time lately, I wouldn't change much about life right now, except stand up not existing. And my phone. Fucking JB Hi-Fi. I still hate you dogs. Music: Enough - Bad Sounds

Ep 129 - An Angry Man
Tuesday May 05, 2020
Tuesday May 05, 2020
I think I'm a much angrier person than I realise, usually it's only at myself which is probably why I never give it the credit it deserves. Anyway, on Friday night I had a great time uncovering that with a mate who is also angry in a similar way. One week without my beloved Google Pixel 3 down, three to go.

Ep 128 - Fuck This
Tuesday Apr 28, 2020
Tuesday Apr 28, 2020
Shit day today. Phone stopped working last night. Back fence just got about 1m taller blocking sun from my garden, and builders trampled my garden while they were doing it. Real shitty mood, real shitty podcast. Might go for a run I guess. Music: Survival of the Fittest - Mobb Deep

Ep 127 - Hungry Jack's
Tuesday Apr 21, 2020
Tuesday Apr 21, 2020
We got Hungry Jack's last night, and it knocked me out for an extra hour of sleep, which doesn't sound like a lot, but is honestly insane to me when I think about the fact that just eating some different food can do that to your body. We got it on a voucher though, so 100% worth it. MONEYYYY!! Music: Turiya & Ramakrishna - Alice Coltrane

Ep 126 - Angry, Excited, Sad
Tuesday Apr 14, 2020
Tuesday Apr 14, 2020
I started out today angry because of some shit with the lease of the place we used to live in two years ago that still hasn't been resolved. Then I was excited about learning how to use YouTube and promote the gardening videos I've been making. Then I told a sad story that isn't really that sad at all, more just funny. Good time today!

Ep 125 - Stewing
Tuesday Apr 07, 2020
Tuesday Apr 07, 2020
My mic cable fell out three times during this ep and it really upset me, but I'm in a good mood so I ended up laughing pretty quickly after each time. I am very well aware that something like that in the description of a podcast is probably enough to make people not want to listen to it, but I figured it'd be better to let you know what you're in for. The rest of it is actually real good this week, I promise. I'm in a great mood today! Music: Catching Feelings - Riton & Kah-Lo

Ep 124 - Acceptance
Tuesday Mar 31, 2020
Tuesday Mar 31, 2020
I did acid on Saturday night with some friends and realised how lucky and thankful I am to be able to share those kinds of experiences with people I love. That in turn made me accept that I need to start taking social distancing more seriously. Conveniently, the next day the Victorian State Government made gatherings of more than two people illegal, and punishable by a $1600 fine. Guess who's going to have a incredible garden come springtime. Song: Cold Summer - Georgia Maq

Ep 123 - The Fear
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Six months they reckon. Six months. Say it slowly to yourself, really let it sink in. We're going to be sat in our houses going slowly insane, for... six... months. It's all I can think about right now, clearly evidenced by this absolute shambles of a podcast. Stay sane everyone. Music: Vibe - Cookie Kawaii

Ep 122 - Coronavirus Quarantine Week 1
Monday Mar 16, 2020
Monday Mar 16, 2020
Okay so I don't have Coronavirus, and I'm not technically in quarantine, but I do have a cold and I am staying at home and man it feels like the start of a long, long few months doesn't it!? This may be one of the best episodes I've done I reckon, it has that feel I like where I start off sad and manage to end up laughing. Sorry about the sniffles, and when you're done listening, check back to this link for the Feel Good News Story of the Week I was talking about. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html Music: Innerbloom - Rüfüs Du Sol

Ep 121 - Coronavirus
Tuesday Mar 10, 2020
Tuesday Mar 10, 2020
The world is in the grips of panic about the coronavirus, I am addicted to the 24-hour new cycle and have been using it as an anxiety release in social situations. Somehow reading about this global catastrophe feels like a calming escape from the anxieties of prolonged social interaction. At least I'm not panic-buying toilet paper. Music: Waiting for the Great Leap Fowards - Billy Bragg
