About
Unscripted. Unedited. Unfocused. Unmonetized. Greetings and welcome. I'm InMyOwnWorld, a white, queer, multiply neurodivergent, multiply disabled, middle-aged she/her and they/them non-binary anti-capitalist with adult onset tic disorder, who is trying to cope with... well, everything. One of the ways I cope is to talk to an imaginary audience. And, as long as I'm talking, I figured I may as well see if anyone wants to listen. Originally conceived of as videos with my voice and a completely black screen, Black Box Recordings has become a podcast instead. An ad-free podcast consisting of disjointed ramblings, posted according to no schedule whatsoever.. Why a podcast of me rambling about whatever crosses my mind, whenever I want? Because it will make me feel a little more connected to other people, whether or not it creates any connections. It's a placebo, to make talking to myself feel a little more productive. It's a scream into the void. It's turning the void into an ADHD body double. I'll be putting my bluetooth earpiece in, opening up the Voice Recorder app, and pacing around the house while talking to you, my potential future audience. You'll get whatever's on my mind, for however long my brain can maintain focus on it. Enjoy. . P.S. Please accept my extremely flimsy apologies for the audio quality. I'm not spending any money or additional effort on this, and I kinda like the way it sounds like a phone call. It's free. What you get is what you get. . P.P.S. Want to tell me that I've made your life better in some way? Reviews and whatnot are nice and all, but I probably won't see them. You can get in touch with me, personally, at the following email address: InMyOwnWorldsEmail (not case sensitive, so you can type it however you like, as long as those are the letters used and the order in which they are used) followed by the 'at' symbol, then your basic gmail ending. Once again, that's InMyOwnWorldsEmail at gmail dot com. . P.P.P.S. Aside from the podcast page on RSS(dot)com, which is my hosting site, the only official page for Black Box Recordings, by InMyOwnWorld, is https://tumblr.com/blackboxrecordings
