I think I’m giving up the hosting of the show. I’ve said before that the previous incarnation of the podcast was done radio show style with back announcing, etc, but I eventually got sick of doing that cos it was extra effort that made it less fun… it’s OK if you’re actually doing it live, obviously, but I don’t, so it just feels kind of forced. And there don’t seem to be many people on Mixcloud (he said, as if he’d explored it fully) actually doing their stuff radio-style unless they’re actually doing them as live radio shows (or live on Twitch, as one show I follow does) before posting the recording on Mixcloud. And I’ve never liked the sound of my own voice (why did you spend so many years in radio, then, DICKHEAD?), so I suppose I should save other people from having to listen to it too… Anyway, here’s this week’s setlist:
