Minute Taker of the Apocalypse

This episode we examine the curious phenomenon of the self appointed guardian of transparency. The man with the invisible clipboard. The archaeologist of twenty year old emails. The tiny hammer enthusiast tapping away at industry morale.Why must every informal phone call be minuted?Since when did off the record conversations require stenographers?And at what point does “tenacious” quietly become “vexatious”?We explore the theatrical outrage over missing minutes, the resurrection of pre-iPhone era anecdotes as modern day scandal, and the peculiar need some have to appear relevant by excavating history.If it happened more than twenty years ago, it is history.If you are not a member, what exactly is your grievance?And if you have to manufacture drama to prove your value… well.Sharp, observational, and just a little spikey.Because sometimes the most powerful move available to you is pressing Unfollow.Send us a messageSupport the showThe Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense is written and produced by Sian Phillips.Music by PlayDays2021, licensed royalty-free via Adobe.All opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and any guests, and do not necessarily reflect those of any affiliated organisations.This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, regulatory, legal, or financial advice.You can find “The Never-Ending Carousel of Cannabis Nonsense” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music Podcasts. © 2025 Sian Phillips.
