I recently spoke to @mbarcia24.bsky.social about his two unfinished books- involving history-making baseball team the Cuban Sugar Kings, and the unusual things you can find in archives…

I recently had the pleasure of speaking g to @fuschia-sirois.bsky.social about what causes procrastination and how to overcome it… an incredibly enlightening conversation! #unfinishing #procrastination #psychology #podcast

Talking to @unfinishing.bsky.social about The Reckless History Of The 21st Century:

CALL OUT FOR PODCAST GUESTS: it’s that time again! If you’ve got an unfinished project or a work in progress that you’d like to talk about, let me know 😊 (link in bio). All welcome- I’ve spoken to writers, artists, comedians, historians, gardeners, film makers, climbers, sailors, knitters, diarists…

I’ve written a thing about Adam Phillips’ “On Giving Up” & what giving up has to do with comedy. Phillips is interested in tragic heroes being people who don’t give up- which raises the question of whether giving up belongs to a comic world… (link in bio)

Fancy new business cards! #merch #podcast #art #design

I’ve started an unfinishing newsletter- if you’re subscribed, check your spam! (If you’re not sign up here: unfinishing.co.uk/contact)

I’ve just spoken to Teresa Stenson, who’s publishing her teenage diaries from the 90s. These are some top-notch flirting tips from teenage Teresa…

Finally got around to starting this by #AdamPhillips - have been meaning to read it for ages for obvious unfinishing reasons, and my word I have not been this excited by a book for ages

Finally got round to pulling together my unfinishing episodes on writing & literature. There’s lots there- writing seems to lend itself to unfinishing things…. #writing #literature #poetry #litcrit #unfinished #workinprogress

Alright folks who wants to talk to me about your unfinished projects?

“Unendingness of the incomplete can resurface in surprising, delightful ways. It may be decades after we’d stopped trying to finish our half-done thing but that doesn’t mean the half-done thing is finished with what it has to give us.” unfinishing.co.uk/blog/shirker... @unfinishing.bsky.social

I've made a collection of unfinished things from history and historians. It covers Plato's legend of Atlantis (which ends mid sentence), fashion history (including an unfinished book about bra history), & tales of unfinished history tours: unfinishing.co.uk/history #unfinishing #history #podcast

@michaelshallcross.bsky.social’ project “Inscribing Pandemonium” is designed to be added to continuously. That’s quite different from the books researchers traditionally publish, which can imply they contain all there is to know about a particular area. #unfinished #unfinishing #academia #podcast

Best thing about Valentine’s Day is still seeing people walking about with flowers (especially the sheepish blokey blokes).

Excellent listening to my friend Michael here (all the best people are called Michael, right?) - looking forward to seeing the (un)finished (not-an-)article! Dangerous bends ahead..

Michael explains why only an unfinishable project can capture literary devils.

Had a really enjoyable chat with @unfinishing.bsky.social about my current, purposefully unfinishable research project, the problems of scholarly publishing in a collapsing labour market, and much else besides. Huge thanks to Emily for inviting me onto her brilliant podcast series.

One of the best things about unfinishing is the variety of unfinished projects we talk about, but there are also recurring themes. I’ve started to collect the strands of similarly- first up are episodes on incompleteness in climbing & the outdoors: unfinishing.co.uk/outdoors-and... #outdoors

Just finished an absolute banger of an interview with @michaelshallcross.bsky.social… you always know it’s been a fascinating chat when I stop looking at my notes and start on the doodles… watch this space for it coming out in the next episode of unfinishing!
