Good evening, sorry a super-late episode today. After dedicating a whole episode to the delightful P Mould yesterday, I wanted to catch up on all our readings. I know weāve taken on a lot, but it means there is hopefully something there for you. Itās all jolly ad hoc but I canāt think of anything worse than a fixed recording routine.
Thank you to my lovely new subscriber Alison. It means the WORLD to me. So kind. šāāļøš·
Rest well and see you tomorrow x
