The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners. Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night. The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

It's amazing how much of a difference the congestion charge in Oxford has made. The roads are much quieter, it's so easy driving around the city centre now and being able to keep to time. My job has become less stressful.

Well today was a fun one. Woke up late after a very late gig last night in London and had an email from the guy who fitted the carpet in my studio telling me he just heard me on BBC Radio Oxford. I asked a couple of questions and he said 8.45am on his way to work, off I went to BBC Sounds.

Thanks So Much to Dave Giles! 👍 The Space Shuttle podcast by Kevin Fong is called: “16 Sunsets” (10 episodes) Premiered November 2024 and is now complete. (Kevin Fong and his team did the amazing 1st two seasons of 13 Minutes to the Moon on Apollo) (Screen grab from my Overcast podcast app.)

The folks behind season 1 and 2 aren’t involved with season 3. They did their own shuttle podcast called 16 Sunsets. Not sure who is producing season 3 of 13 minutes but it’s not the same team at all. BBC owned the name of the podcast.

The person who lived here before us decorated the downstairs bathroom in a very quirky way. I’m so reluctant to change it but it’s really not aging well. Might need to hit some charity shops to get some more sheet music.

Let's talk about Spotify for a second. I released a song last month. My first in nearly 4 years. I have 2300 followers on Spotify and before the release I had about 350 monthly listeners. I had about 50 listeners a day. I have one song over 100,000 streams, a couple are getting close to that.
