Sold! Stream of Contentedness is more of a pod-yarn, as in the Australian storytelling tradition of spinning a yarn, than a regular podcast.

The fiercely compassionate lady on the London bus - it sounds like she was a psych nurse. This podcast was a lovely piece of art/defiance against the status quo of plutocratic madness. I feel contented by the content. Ta :)
