My Podcast recording about Producing ‘Clowning Around’ with Chris Jones at Ealing Studios today.
Handpicked: “Mad Men”
On a rainy night in London, Leilani Holmes had an interesting experience: her bus was stopped by a man — who was repeatedly head-butting it. “What made him so senselessly aggressive toward a big red bus I can only surmise,” Leilani writes in today’s daily story.
This was framed as a personal reflection, not reportage, but like most of Leilani’s 99 (!) stories to date, it offered a glimpse at life on the streets of London today. Leilani describes herself as an actor, screenwriter, filmmaker, and teadrinker. She is also a walker and a watcher. Stories like this one - and “A Very Tall Man” and “Barren Days” - are good examples of how text can change the way we see a city scene.

Fog swirls outside here
My skin, warm under cover
But cold without you
