Tonight's livestream is postponed because I can't plug in my laptop in case it catches fire. (The battery is bulging.) New laptop arrives tomorrow or Wednesday, so I'll probably stream episode 4 on Friday.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

The Artist's voice... evolved, shall we say? between first and final draft

(This is from the premiere episode of I Need A Miracle, 'A dream come true', performed by David Holt, who I would not have made to say "do me a solid")

[merelymatt]

Yesterday's livestream was pretty laggy (I'll see if I can do anything about it for next week!), but the recording hasn't turned out too badly - listenable, if a bit low-res. You see the vision, yeah?

The bit about the Artist's voice in the original draft ("In your benevolence, do me a solid, yeah?") ought to be worth clipping once the video's finished processing

Why would a benevolent god send you visions of a masterwork, if they didn't want you to create it?

Two years ago in August, I Need A Miracle premiered with A dream come true. David Holt stars as the artist who needs a miracle to make his impossible sculpture a reality.

On Monday 6 July at 21:00 BST (20:00 UTC), let's revisit that episode: David's performance, Katharine Seaton's music, Sarah Buchynski's sound design, and our first glimpse of the miraculous, tumultuous world of the show.

My ask box is open, and so is the show's @inyourbenevolence, for anything you want me to answer on stream. Or join me live and get in chat. As well as screening the episode, I'll talk process and share early drafts and backstage stories.
