THE HiFi PiG SELECTION BOX – DIVERSIONARY STRATEGIES FOR THE MODERN WORLD DECEMBER 2025
Inspired by the seventies children’s television program Why Don’t You, HiFi PiG is putting together a monthly digest of links to music, literature, film, and more to inspire, motivate, and stimulate you into exploring beyond your typical sensory comfort zone.
Every month, we assemble a selection box of links to things we have unearthed and found interesting, fascinating, thought-provoking, or just balls-out entertaining.
This is our final HiFi PiG Selection Box of 2025, we hope it has helped keep you entertained this year, we will see you with more diversionary strategies in 2026!
