Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 4

Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 ...not sure if I should be putting a description here, there are about three or four of ye listening I think, so ye probably already know the score (in other words more outer space-ish madness as the routine Irish internal flight descends into trippy madness, and First Officer Flod tries and fails to understand what is going on). Anyhows -thanks for listening. Brian

Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 3

The plot thickens, or something -had only an hour to get this one done so it's short and erm., well, it furthers the plot. Chat to ye, Brian

Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 2

Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 2

Part two of the story. Tis hard to know if anyone is following but if you are, and are human, then the tale will run the course. I don't really have a plan for how long it will go. It was meant to be a script for a live show with some local comics, but reality means that will never happen so I might as well go mad with it given there are no filming restrictions etc. Gonna try get more regular and sharpen up on the writing and editing as it goes along. Anyhow, hope all is well with you -thanks for joining in. Brian

John the Witless

John the Witless

More messing to camera -a riffed tale about one of the characters in 'Flight into Culfadda' ...part 2 of which is out in three days from, well, the time of typing ...which is Monday the 11th of May 2026 on a calm dry slightly cloudy west Irish summer evening.

Two minutes of Sci-Fi style mesing to camera

Two minutes of Sci-Fi style mesing to camera

🐨🔥😮😢🔥🎷EMPEROR Nalbert Hokenlaunt ...AGAIN!!! This far NORTH!!! ONSCRONTABLE!!!

Some daft filler in place of Ep.2 of 'Flight into Culfadda' -had to push it back a few days.

(sort of proud of the way these fall flat on the socials, it's probably the best mark of quality ya can get in this day and age)

The Origin of Gemini Man

The Origin of Gemini Man

A quick tale in the car on the way home -no time to do a full story this week so this'll have to do instead

It is Okay to be Wrong

It is Okay to be Wrong

I write and publish a joke a day (following Spike Milligan's advice). I stick them up on the Irish Science Fiction social accounts -there is well over a thousand of them. Some are awful. Some derivative. Most are average. But every so often one does the job ...keeps universal, punches up, and slaps obvious absurdity in the mush. Today was the latter so I'm giving it a twist on the podcast.

Part 2 of 'Flight Into Culfadda' had to be pushed back a week for reasons outside my control -the messing will kick off again and build into madness though. Thanks for listening, Brian

Flight Into Culfadda, Chapter/ Episode 1

Flight Into Culfadda, Chapter/ Episode 1

Chapter 1 of a new long form story. A regional passenger airliner gets notions above the county of Sligo. Apologies, am rusty so the first ten mins is a bit crap but it picks up, and hopefully that's the groove for the next ten or so chapters. Thanks for listening, Brian

Human V Machine(AI) Storytelling

Human V Machine(AI) Storytelling

More filler ...'Flight into Cúlfadda' should be about next week, like most/all writers this is a hobby and has to go to the bottom of the list of stuff to do -anyhows, this skit is aimed at the AI generated storytelling nonsense, because to my mind the idea of AI creativity is stone mad. It works fine for an algorithm where the name of the game is appealing to the maximum number of people. But it is ultimately (literally) pointless.

Good night, Michael Knight

Good night, Michael Knight

The last of the summer wine for a former TV star

apologies ...been delayed starting 'black socks'. Writing is about as usefull as a handbrake in a canoe so need to push the adventure back to when I can give it time. Thank you if you're checking this stream out.

BTW -have a plan for filming 'Flight into Culfadda' this summer. A mix of 'Fr.Ted' and 'Black Mirror', written around the folk I can get to act ...def a jobsworth traffic controller, and an earnest newsreader, and a comedy duo making a mess of things, and AI doing its AI thing. Dunno why I'm telling ya that ...40% probable ...got two great actors and a top class editor so far, so if it happens there's a 56% chance you'll like it.

The Dreaded Writer's Block

The Dreaded Writer's Block

A three minute story. If you are tuning in and got a kick from this there are daily jokes on the Irish Science Fiction YouTube that ya might get a giggle from. I try to keep them under a minute ...and there are currently 800+ uploaded (with over half sitting on zero views, which is either an achievement or a true reflection of their quality). 'The Adventures of Special Agent Black Socks' will kick off on it's five year journey soon. Thanks for listening, Brian

The Clock at Dunsoggany Station (2 min tale)

The Clock at Dunsoggany Station (2 min tale)

A not so funny tale about burnout. On the plus side it's quick. A modern day SF adventure will be out in a fortnight -a self contained tale about a Martian Cephalod, a Socially Engineered girl and a TV show host (prob be a run time of twenty to thirty mins). Thanks for tuning in, Brian

Was Darwin Wrong? (90 second gag)

Just a 90 sec gag in the car to the phone. I think there are three or four watching/ listening to these so ...hello, hope all's good with you -if you tuned in to Nancy G there'll be another long tale starting next month (Nov '25), with a few short bits of stories/ messing in between. Enjoy Oíche Shamhna, keep the fire lit

Reverse Apocalypse Joke

Reverse Apocalypse Joke

Just a quick one of the daily Jokes from the social media output. These all bomb, but no reason to stop. Pushing back the launch of 'Special Agent Black Socks' till Jan '26 to try and promote the stuff a bit and see if I can knock a bit of craic outta live gigs ...some folk are up for a laugh but the prevailing wind at the moment is shitty roast stuff.

Competitive Dad Joke

Competitive Dad Joke

Part of a self imposed joke a day thing I'm doing for social media. Some are not bad, but mostly just variations of old school generic standup gags. I think ya can add a comment below -I've hundreds of these so if it's something ya could play then add a message and I'll clip them into some sort of fairly coherent one liner style upload. Brian

The Problem with AI

The Problem with AI

Sketch for another show ...tis starting to bug me when folk say they found out on ChatGPT and it's somehow fine, but when I say 'I made it up' or 'it's just something I feel like could be true' then it's unreliable

Nancy Goodaim, Space Ranger - Chapter 53

An Irish Science Fiction Outer Space Adventure (written and narrated by Brian Sexton).

If you've followed the story, then you are part of a very select group ...quality not quantity makes a good audience. Thank you for staying the course. There will be three more bouts of messing to tie it all together, and I'll try have them done this month, ie June '25 -and if not early July.

Fair play to you, you are as much the story as me, Bip, Nancy, Bart, Martina or even Sozman himself ...keep on messing;)

The Flomnomulist of Halottam

I forget what this is, but it's a short story of some description -am working away at the ending to Nancy Goodaim. I think there at least three of ye following, so if you are one then this is a quick note to say the ending is coming. I've been stuck for recording time, but have a window in late June -so the plan is to finish the rough story (it's slightly improvised during recording) and get the lot down that week ...and if there is time in between it'll be out there. Anyways, thanks for tuning in
