This is just amazing. The form, the fluency, the color, the everything about this really... hope you submit some more! Would be cool to see what else you do. Looks like a pretty unique style.
And that ramble was fun to read too. :) Happy you found your way here! And interesting to know the podcast brings people in too... I knew about Jazza bringing people in with his occasional challenge/contest thing. He's been like a magnet so long but that was new.
