Intermission: Apprentice Reads 'All the World's a Stage'

Hi! I’m Eira, the voice of Sir and the Apprentice, and also the person who writes this show, sound designs it, and puts it out into the world. There’s no new episode of the show this week because I’ve been unwell and haven’t been able to finish it, so instead, you’ll be hearing this intermission, which features the Apprentice reading a Shakespeare monologue. I hope you enjoy it. All the world’s a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;And then the whining school-boy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,Full of wise saws and modern instances;And so he plays his part. The sixth age shiftsInto the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wideFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,Turning again toward childish treble, pipesAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,That ends this strange eventful history,Is second childishness and mere oblivion;Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.Leave a review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-5722315Leave a review on ListenNotes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-eira-major-qxCsBXeOtzK/Follow the show on Tumblr: https://remnantspod.tumblr.com/Follow Eira on Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/hangingsloths.bsky.socialThanks to my incredible supporters on Patreon.

Real Remnants 6: Mustard Gas & Chemotherapy

This time, we look at medical innovation in the context of war (and beyond!) and how observation led to the development of a treatment for cancer from a chemical weapon.Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gHlENF6TdVCouRCb4ViW2eX97TZonNOfZlJzlX-Le2E/edit?usp=sharingFor Early Access to the next part of Real Remnants and Remnants' second season when it starts airing, support me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hangingslothstudiosA note: this episode mentions the development of the polio vaccine. This vaccine's development is wacky and absolutely wild in its own right, and many of the methods used, particularly early in the process, were completely bonkers and would not hold up to modern scrutiny; indeed many were criticised even at the time. The point is to highlight a case where people were not non-consensually used to innovate medically, NOT to highlight an example of a perfect developmental process. If I can find an excuse to talk about the development of the polio vaccine in more depth at some point, I absolutely will because it is completely wild.Further reading, for those compelled to dig deeper:Visual breakdown of the Haber Process: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z9tvw6f/revision/1Deeper overview of mustard gas’ development into chemotherapy: https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/08/27/mustard-gas-from-the-great-war-to-frontline-chemotherapy/'Medical Bondage' by Dr Deirdre Cooper Owens: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1pwt69x (available in many libraries and for purchase online, too)Introductory essay on ‘Medical Bondage’: https://www.thenationalbookreview.com/features/2021/2/26/qhy31dvkoyk2hdgi00iwfjarn17n8a Hosted on Acast.
