Letters from Quotidia
Letters from QuotidiaLetters from Quotidia 2024 Episode 3 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Letters from Quotidia, 2024- Episode 3. You don’t need a visa to enter Quotidia because Quotidia remains that space, that place, where ordinary people lead ordinary lives. But where, from time to time, they encounter the extraordinary. To mark St Patrick’s Day I wish to refer to three Rocky Roads. The first, a documentary made by Irish journalist, Peter Lennon, in 1968 which reported on his sad, emotionally frozen, culturally isolated homeland. In a Guardian article of 2005 Phillip French states, His thesis was that a revolution launched by poets and socialists had been hijacked by cons...

You don’t need a visa to enter Quotidia. Stay as long as you like. Quotidia remains that space, that place, where ordinary people lead ordinary lives. But where, from time to time, they encounter the extraordinary. Just a few weeks ago, I encountered another instance of the extraordinary: I was snared by an old photograph which took my breath away. It had been sent out from Ireland from my wife’s older brother who found it while he was...

The Letters launched on January 11th, 2021, as a pandemic project culminating on 31st December 2023 having chalked up a total of 266 posts. From the fevered throes of podcast freneticism, which at one stage saw five posts in a week, the stream abated to one or two a fortnight in the latter stages of the project. Now, there will be one a month, Deo volente. And maybe this just...

Letters from QuotidiaLetters from Radio Quotidia NYE2023 Welcome to Letters from Radio Quotidia the NYE2023 program where, on New Year’s Eve, we look back at the things that, at times, we wish weren’t and forwards to what we wish might be. I opened calendar year 2023’s account back in early January with Route 66 written by U.S. Marine Bobby Troupe in 1946- which I first heard in 1964 off the Rolling Stones’ first LP. I followed this with a tribute to the late Christine McVie by covering a song I heard her sing in 1970- I’d Rather Go Blind. The month of October I...

The second half has been somewhat different with a reasonably contented life in a small bungalow in the outer west of Sydney since 1995. I wrot...

Quentin Bega here at the mic. I’m broadcasting from our studio in the depths of Quotidia inside a digital onion. My aim to keep you entertained for a while. On Easter Saturday last year, I was alone in my room, staring at my computer where the cursor was blinking on the blank page in front of me. Hoping for inspiration and it finally arrived as just one word. Meanwhile. That was it. Just that one word. I was...

You are more likely today to find a sorcerer’s apprentice than one for actual trades!
