The Daily Companion — Audio Edition No. 35 (Monday, November 9, 2026)

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Good morning, Gulfport — and welcome to Monday. Edition Number Thirty-Five of The Daily Companion, for Monday, November the ninth, opens with a stand at the harbor: Bibi, a Pomeranian of the harbor end, stands before the Monday truck the way her book says her kind stands — all at once, and entirely, for the whole parish to see. The season of Calder keeps day eight — the polish, applied — and the readings close the edition, as they close the paper, on pages seven and eight. Inside: four tales — Coco Thinks at Full Speed, Gigi Keeps the Coat Entirely, Boba Collects the Parish, and Peanut Reposes Dramatically. The Weather Desk files the weekend under fluff, and the Dog Weather Watch calls on Gulfport, Cape Town, and Bergen (the Watch is reported by dogs; accuracy is not among its ambitions). The Dog Game is Recall Ping Pong — five minutes, easy, a call and a reward. The Police Desk files its featured report, "The Treasury, Audited," and the Barketplace prices loyalty and the picky palate. The Monday departments keep the day: the Monday Blues hangs the leash twice, and the editorial performs the outrage properly. The Book Page reviews You Decided to Get a Pomeranian — FIVE PAWS. Bruno's blog tells of the lap kept as a throne, and his moral closes the edition. Music: two sixty-second excerpts — "La Partenza" and "Cypress in the Soil" — over a bed of "Golden Monologue." A brief tipping disclosure airs at the open of the edition. Disclosure: The Daily Companion is narrated by AI-generated voices.
