Waldina?

Waldina Podcast by 
Scott Parker-Anderson

I stumbled across this rather unique podcast when doing a search in Apple Podcasts for podcast episodes about the book 'The Little Prince' and wondered what the Waldina podcast was all about.

Tell Him He's Dreamin'?

THE LITTLE PRINCE (1943)

Waldina Podcast: 
The Little Prince

I scrolled down to the first episode of the podcast show to see if there was an explanation of what the idea was for the podcast, but just got Pi-ed in the face by a very weird 1st episode about Pi Day, which seeded more frustrating than reading and or listening to James Joyce's 'Ulysses', a book I had just finished slogging my way through over the past few weeks.

What Ulysses Did to a Supposedly Balanced Psychologist?

HAPPY PI DAY

I guess it could be a soothing meditation if you happen to be a math nerd?-)

Waldina Podcast: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Or a command/enquirery you would give the HAL 9000 to keep it busy forever:-)

9/11 Screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey?

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)

But I eventually found out what and who Waldina was about by going to the website of origin.

227 episodes available so far, how random is that?-)

Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed as a common fraction, although fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate it.

Equivalently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanently repeating pattern.

Its decimal (or other base) digits appear to be randomly distributed, and are conjectured to satisfy a specific kind of statistical randomness.

Pi Day, Ancient Aliens and the Birthday Issue?

HAPPY 142ND BIRTHDAY ALBERT EINSTEIN

My old synchromystic filmmaker mate Jake Kotze just loves the number 142, so I wonder if it got past Jake that this year was Albert's 142nd birthday?

Having just read 'Ulysses' and 'A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man', I was glad to find a podcast and a post about Sylvia Beach (March 14, 1887 – October 5, 1962) who was the first publisher of Joyce's book 'Ulysses' and like Albert was born on Pi Day.

HAPPY 134TH BIRTHDAY SYLVIA BEACH

It was like dropping down a rabbit hole at the right time stumbling across the Waldina blog/podcast for me.

If you are familiar with the book 'Ulysses' then you will know that Shakesphere is a central theme in more ways than one. 

HAPPY 457TH BIRTHDAY
  WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

There are a lot more meaningful coincidences for me stumbling across Waldina, but that will do for now, and I have 'The Little Prince' podcast search to thank for it.

A rose by any other name ...?-)

William "Bill" Shakespeare has
died of a stroke unrelated to the jab?

A World Full of Pricks?
