  Chapter Four 29.10.2025 21m

  Welcome to Chapter Four of “Man Without a Century”—a digital novel unfolding one podcast at a time. In this episode, we rewind to my personal ground zero: the moment I split from everything I knew and hurled myself across the Atlantic, reckless and reeling, chasing meaning at the Edinburgh Fringe. This chapter traces the fuse back to its unlikely flame—a father’s sudden exit, and the uncanny, impossible light that follows. FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON PATREON Support the show

It’s a dry-mouth heartbreak, and the weird rituals we invent to survive the world being left behind. Full chapter available on Patreon. patreon.com/garalonning Support the show

  Chapter Two 17.09.2025 23m

  From the first taste of suburban alienation to the neon-lit aisles of New York’s Whole Foods, the story winds through thefts both petty and profound: a Claddagh ring from the Dublin airport, rosehip oil hidden next to a rotisserie chicken, blood oranges left to dry in a vacant windowsill. These aren’t just crimes, but —a crooked catechism for a queer, trans kid desperate to rebel...and to survive. FULL RAW EPISODE: https://youtu.be/2U2bOAoTRR0 Support the show
