Yeah, all you can do is own it! I remember listening back to something I’d done and saying to a friend that I sounded like a smug idiot, and she replied helpfully, “Yep, because that’s what you sound like.” You’ve got great taste and you’re lots of fun, so I’m sure it’ll be well received. Good luck!
I know that horror! Been interviewed on quite a few podcasts over the years and it gets easier (and you get better), but I still cringe at things that probably nobody else would even notice. Well done for doing it!
Done!

Oh dammit! Hope things works out.
Oh, that's a shame. And thanks!
I returned to screenwriting last year after a very long break (never got anything made), initially also for funsies, but it sucked me in. Now I’m so invested with my characters and stories, I want to see something get made. At least you are *someone* who’s been published. Hope it works out for you!
Livin’ indeed!
Yeah! I'm looking forward to going out there and finding stuff that I want to listen to. It's been a while! xxx
Aww cheers. Same back at ya. Glad to have much such good friends along the way!
Coinciding with Tom Robinson stepping down from the BBC Introducing Mixtape, I’ll no longer be handling the day-to-day running of Fresh On The Net after seven years. That honour goes to Del @platinummind.bsky.social It can be A LOT, so please be kind to him as he gets to grips with things. Cheers!

A list of personal opinions about tracks (not shown), because what else have you got...
I've got 102 contenders for 12 slots on a playlist. It's going well...
I must’ve missed that when proofreading, sorry! Now, I *could* change it, but it’s gonna undermine your post…
Now, there's someone who can write a bio! Thanks Annika!
*makes document uneditable*
Having the time of my life! x
…I have to write about certain tracks because others have voted for them. Most bloggers, podcasters, etc can pick and choose what they feature. Make it easier for them…
Writing about music is so arduous, and oh, the nonsense I've spouted today already (mostly edited out)… Top tip for artists: it's notable that successful artists always include info about themselves and their music, and that helps people like me tell their story.
Further to that — I only write about tracks because on Fresh On The Net people will have voted for them. Most bloggers, podcasters, etc can pick and choose what they feature. Make it easier for them…
Oh, hope you come out unscathed. Not sure we’ve got the worst of it here, but it’s very noisy!

Storm Agnes through the kitchen window. Quite windy, a bit wet.
Spare half hour anyone, to help us out?! 🎧
Happy birthday Del!
I'm liking this even though running FOTN feels like being pushed down on a ski slope on a homemade toboggan while people pelt you with snowballs from every direction
Having heard some of your suggestions before Sal, yes 100%!
Oh yeah, I’d have died. What a guy
