Time is Sliding
Time is sliding explores aspects of the world that are changing, or need to change, over the precious time that's slippery-sliding away as we hurtle down life’s helter skelter. The title is an acceptance that the slipperiness of time for us human animals leads to change. This can often be an adaptation to ongoing changes around us. Climate change is a major example of an external change that necessitates change in ourselves as well as in society.
Time is Sliding
Appetiser
This episode is an appetiser for a new podcast called Time is Sliding. Each month, we'll explore together aspects of the world that are changing over the precious time that is slippery-sliding away as we hurtle down life’s helter skelter. You’ll hear extraordinary and ordinary people discuss changes in themselves, society and the environment on which we all depend.
The first full episode is called ‘viewing change from cancer’s helter skelter’ and stems from the biggest change that everyone will experience - the end of his or her life. It’s particularly meaningful to me because it’s the last recording I have of my brother Phil. Cancer killed him almost 3 months later. That’s my reason for releasing the full episode on 25th July 2021, the anniversary of the discussion.
I hope that you’ll want to hear Phil’s take on changes imposed by illness along with changes in attitudes, technologies, behaviour, music, entertainment, punishment, choices and the environment. There’ll be more of the discussion, on different topics, in episode 2.
If you knew Phil, I hope that hearing him will touch you again with his thoughtfulness, intellect and humour. For those listeners who never met him, I hope that you’ll also enjoy his perspectives and the laughter we shared in the face of the bleak changes we knew were ahead.
To steal and modify a catch phrase of Timothy Leary, I hope that you’ll turn on, search out and drop in to Time is Sliding. Be my guest by subscribing or following via your usual podcast provider.
Until 25th July, zai jian, au revoir, arrivederci, adios, auf wiedersehen, vaarwel, cheers.

Hello Time Sliders
This is an appetiser
for a new podcast
Time Is Sliding.
It’s about all sorts of change.
I’m Rob Baylis, the host.
Each monthly podcast will explore aspects of the world that are changing over the precious time that is slippery-sliding away as we hurtle down life’s helter skelter. You’ll hear extraordinary and ordinary people discuss changes in themselves, society and the environment on which we all depend.
The first episode will be available via all the usual places you access your podcasts on. It’s called ‘viewing change from cancer’s helter skelter’ and stems from the biggest change that everyone will experience - the end of his or her life. It’s particularly meaningful to me because it’s the last recording I have of my brother Phil. Cancer killed him almost 3 months later.
