    The Investigation Is Resolved

    The recording investigation has been resolved. Central Comfort knows who made it. A warm direct address was made on air. Also this week: the HP-X393-2 forms are raised for the final time - Daddy held the instruction for a moment before passing it on, the first admission of a personal reaction to a Central Comfort directive. The Education Funnel continues to require certainty before it can open. A song arrives called Every Meal Is Hot - Daddy finds it almost too much to hold. And the cartography session is one week away. Maps will be spread on a table underground.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear sleep podcast. Post-apocalyptic Britain, sealed community, nuclear fallout. Adults only.

    Someone Is Drawing the Building

    The Theatre Cube's first Psychiatric Carpenter wellbeing session drew four hundred and twelve residents. The first music submitted through proper channels arrives this week: Painted Shut, anonymous, Central Comfort holds the name. Daddy has been listening to it in his own time. Also: a resident has been making a map of this building since the third week and has agreed to present it. A resident describes the idea of the cartography session as producing a feeling they do not have a word for. Daddy provides one: orientation. And plant pots have been distributed to forty-two homesteads.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear audio drama and sleep podcast. Dark immersive slow fiction. Adults only.

    The First Hey-There Was About Soup

    GGQ Chat went live on Thursday at noon. In the forty-eight hours since, this programme has received more letters than any previous week. The first Hey-There sent on this network was forty-two characters long and was about soup. Daddy has also found two more pieces from the Gathering recording - Heavy Led Door and Tin Cup Comfort - and is not sure whether the first title is a description or a declaration. Also: the Reading Room is open. Voluntary Farm Duty has its first intake of thirty-six. A nine-year-old has written to ask if there are other children.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear sleep podcast set in a sealed fallout shelter after nuclear war. New episodes weekly.

Two original compositions by resident musicians: Neon Sun Daddy and Paper Box. Daddy knows what Paper Box means to the person who wrote it and will not share it. Also this week: GGQ Chat launches Thursday - your screen name is your road and a number, eighty characters, all messages retained. The Reading Room opens Monday. The Theatre Cube opens Monday. Three thousand and forty-seven people in this building, and the first Hey-There has not yet been sent.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear audio drama and sleep podcast.

    What Memory Boxes Actually Are

    Someone made a recording at the Gathering. Also this week: the Memory Boxes. Daddy has been asked to clarify something. The Memory Boxes described last week - the physical objects, the photographs, the familiar smells assembled by the Thoughtful Retrieval Team - are not what he said they were. He is quite sure he never said that. What Memory Boxes actually are is something altogether different: sessions with Auxiliary Psychiatric Carpenters, using Recollective Practice. Also: the first Community Meditation, and three letters read from residents who are, slowly, beginning to find their feet.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear sleep podcast set in a sealed underground shelter.

    Gifts of Apology

    Week two. The Community Gathering took place on Sunday - two thousand, eight hundred and ninety-one residents across eight slots. The three musicians played in every one. This week: Community Notices arrive as a new standing section, a resident on Wilde Road has commenced an Adjustment Period, and Memory Boxes have been delivered to those affected by the Roundall installation delay. Each box was assembled individually. Each contains a photograph, a familiar smell, an object that would mean nothing to anyone else. Also: the Psychiatric Carpenter is introduced. First six appointments included. They will have some context already.Bunker Basket is a British post-nuclear audio drama and sleep podcast. Set in an underground fallout shelter after nuclear war.
