<![CDATA[Black Box Recordings, by InMyOwnWorld]]> https://www.tumblr.com/blackboxrecordings Unscripted. Unedited. Unfocused. Unmonetized.

Greetings and welcome. I'm InMyOwnWorld, a white, queer, multiply neurodivergent, multiply disabled, middle-aged she/her and they/them non-binary anti-capitalist with adult onset tic disorder, who is trying to cope with... well, everything.

One of the ways I cope is to talk to an imaginary audience. And, as long as I'm talking, I figured I may as well see if anyone wants to listen.

Originally conceived of as videos with my voice and a completely black screen, Black Box Recordings has become a podcast instead. An ad-free podcast consisting of disjointed ramblings, posted according to no schedule whatsoever..

Why a podcast of me rambling about whatever crosses my mind, whenever I want?

Because it will make me feel a little more connected to other people, whether or not it creates any connections. It's a placebo, to make talking to myself feel a little more productive. It's a scream into the void. It's turning the void into an ADHD body double.

I'll be putting my bluetooth earpiece in, opening up the Voice Recorder app, and pacing around the house while talking to you, my potential future audience. You'll get whatever's on my mind, for however long my brain can maintain focus on it.

Enjoy.

.

P.S.

Please accept my extremely flimsy apologies for the audio quality. I'm not spending any money or additional effort on this, and I kinda like the way it sounds like a phone call. It's free. What you get is what you get.

.

P.P.S.

Want to tell me that I've made your life better in some way? Reviews and whatnot are nice and all, but I probably won't see them. You can get in touch with me, personally, at the following email address: InMyOwnWorldsEmail (not case sensitive, so you can type it however you like, as long as those are the letters used and the order in which they are used) followed by the 'at' symbol, then your basic gmail ending. Once again, that's InMyOwnWorldsEmail at gmail dot com.

Also, a slice of banana french toast.

An unscripted, unedited, unfocused, unmonetized episode of me, an autistic ADHDer who struggles with planning, initiating, and following through with almost anything, using the act of talking to my hypothetical future audience to motivate myself to do things.

'Take one' had a technical issue about 20 minutes in, but I was still able to do an hour and twenty minutes of puttering around, doing some dishes, and getting set up for my day (with a few tangents).

The name comes from a few times I stopped talking for a minute or two, leaving only environmental noises, which included the brushing of teeth and the vaping of nicotine.

Don’t remember much about it anymore. Just another standard ‘going through my morning Do Deck cards and starting my day’ episode, I think.

Half the typical episode length!

There was some experimentation with a new microphone and an audio processing app earlier today, discussed toward the middle or end of the episode, that did not lead to any changes in the (abysmally low) production quality of my podcast.

Of me… rambling into a bluetooth earpiece.

After a brief and unwanted hiatus that I can blame on nothing but my own brain, I’m posting episodes again.

These podcast episodes are primarily for myself. What you hear is what you get.

Then I got distracted, and it took another day to upload and publish.

This time, I describe some of the things and systems I use to help me start my day, plan things, and get things done.

Our household has plenty of executive functioning struggles. Listen as I talk about some of the ways we deal with that.

.

This is an unscripted, unfocused, unedited, unmonetized podcast with the production quality of something that has zero production quality. Enjoy.

Also discussed body doubling and rubber ducking in the last few minutes.

Pre-recording, I assembled my Do Deck hand for the day. This episode is an hour of me wandering around the house, getting some things done, and trying to find the five-foot long wooden staff that I misplaced in the house earlier in the recording.

Seriously. A five or five-and-a-half foot long wooden hardwood staff. Had it in my hands. Walked into another room. Had to search the house multiple times, finally giving up in the last minutes of the recording, only to find it exactly where I left it.

Basically, decompressing after many hours of hyperfocus yesterday, and trying to prevent it from happening again today… at least until I’ve got the important things taken care of for the day.

Also some cat meows near the beginning.

Unlike my typical podcasts, where I’m trying to get things done or start my day, this was recorded to pass an hour of time, and was more relaxing than ranting about the state of the world for an hour.

Mostly just me going through a checklist of things and spending some time thinking about and/or doing them.

The cards I use to remind me of things include my ‘call cards’ with the checklist to go through during each call.

When I dropped down to two calls per week, I turned one of the call cards into a no-call card, so I could try to coax myself through the checklist without help once a week.

That’s the majority of this episode—me, working my way through my no-call card checklist.

Except I didn’t have the energy to talk for a full hour. So you get this minisode.

I’m less eloquent and more unfocused than typical, and there was very little useful that was actually said, but I did make food for myself and got started on some stuff in the kitchen.

Enjoy.

This episode is similar other recent episodes, with me talking about everything and nothing, while babbling more-or-less non-stop, being a little productive around the house, and making sure that I'm prepared to move forward with my day.

I accidentally named a person I was trying to leave unidentified, so I did have to make one edit, covering up my oopsie.

I apologize. I promised an unedited podcast, and I’ve already broken my word to you by the fourth episode. And I’ll do it again, too, the next time I accidentally drop a name that shouldn’t have been dropped.

Unscripted. Unedited. Unfocused. Unmonetized.

At the time of recording, I wasn’t sure if this would replace the original pilot or become the second episode. Either episode works, if you want an introduction to the podcast, but neither stood out to me as spectacular. So, I guess you get two mediocre pilot episodes.

Recorded on November 27, 2025.

This was recorded on October 1st, 2025, while I was under the influence of an inebriating beverage. Future episodes are unlikely to have as much slurring or swearing.

NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: this pilot is episode not particularly representative of typical episodes.
