A chronically ill man has been trapped in a room for the majority of his adult life, exploring the limits of agony, sanity, and time. Armed with failing wits, growing pain, Turner Classic Movies, and a variety of recording devices, he navigates his mind and the world as it exists to him. Welcome to Sick Man Talking.
In this Very Special Episode, the Sick Man talks about the summer of 1987, and his very first job working for a printing factory in Toronto’s Financial District. Before there was ambition, before there was a crash, before there were podcasts recorded in basements, there was ink. Industrial ink. The perfume of capitalism. And there were cigarettes. Lots and lots of cigarettes. A coming of each story about paper, panic, and pretending.This is the summer of ‘87.Support the showHost: Brad Cartner Show Producer: Greg O’Brien Sound Engineer: Derek Welsman Music: Brad Cartner Officer Wilfert: Adam Carter FOR FULL PODCAST DETAILS, NEWS AND DIRECTORIES visit us on our MAIN WEBSITE at https://www.sickmantalking.ca/ or visit our HOST WEBSITE on BuzzSprout at https://sickmantalkingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Keep up to date and LIKE US ON FACEBOOK at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784Join our Facebook Community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784/ and on INSTAGRAM at https://www.instagram.com/luigivampa44/ SUPPORT & DONATE TO SICK MAN TALKING AT https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sickmantalking https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352199/support QUESTIONS OR COMMENT DROP US AN EMAIL AT sickmantalking@gmail.com

In this episode, the Sick Man launches a new series - or maybe not. He’s not sure yet; it depends on a few factors, mostly his own laziness, because a lot of research went into this. But he’s doing at least one episode called If They Were Alive.Here, he takes famous historical figures and deposits them into the modern world. What would they be like? What would they be doing? How much money would they make, and how? Whet would they think of today’s society and the people living in it?In this first - and possibly only instalment - of If They Were Alive, the Sick Man resurrects William Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, and Cleopatra, dropping them into our completely insane modern world. Would Shakespeare be bigger than Spielberg? How many planets could Alexander dominate?
