Death Valley Discs? You'd need to make the 'castaway' choose a single clip from the film to represent what the film means to them in order to get an episode into a reasonable sized show.
I'd like and subscribe.

Cover of BECOMING AN AUTISTIC SCHOLAR.

How does the experience of pursuing a doctorate abroad intertwine with the discovery of one’s own neurodivergence? Through a series of interconnected stories, this book narrates the journey of a Chilean student and his wife to Barcelona, where he pursues a doctorate in Computer Science while she seeks her own path.

Like in the Japanese role-playing video games that the protagonist loves so much, the adventure begins in an unknown city, without possessions and with the challenge of learning the rules of a new world. Between algorithms and code, between tango and Street Fighter, between academic life and personal loss, the narrative explores universal themes such as identity, love, friendship, and grief.

A decade after these events, the author receives a diagnosis that gives new meaning to his entire experience: he is autistic. This revelation transforms the book into something more than academic memoirs - it is the testimony of how neurodivergence shapes our way of perceiving the world and relating to others.

Written with the precision of a scientist and the sensitivity of an attentive observer, this book is an invitation to reflect on how our cognitive differences enrich the human experience.

Hampshire pupils 'sob' as vicar discusses existence of Santa The vicar told children that Father Christmas did not exist during a Religious Education lesson.

Someone's got to tell him, right? We can't let this poor man continue believing in some invisible benign entity, whilst denying the existence of Santa, who clearly does exist (albeit displaying a frankly unprogressive favouritism towards the kids of well-off parents).
