Guides, Covers and Other Unexpected Journeys - this week's best bits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every week, I take the best two posts from my daily blog at threeflats.wordpress.com and record them as a podcast. "A Cover Story" explains why a temporarily forgotten list of songs played a key part in a meeting I had this week. "Twice in One Night?!" is about the extraordinary evening where I went out twice - unheard of for a person who rarely goes out at all. As well as all the words, I wrote and performed all the music too. If you enjoyed this, there are 33 other episodes some of which has c

Let The Record State (for the 200th time) is a pathetic attempt of justifying buying my 200th record when I really meant to buy a new watch instead. Both are taken from my daily blog www.threeflats.wordpress.com where I write stuff every day and choose two a week for this podcast. Do like and subscribe but don't ask me how.

A Volume of Vodka & Please Let This Writing Be Right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Volume of Vodka suggests a number of reasons why a bottle of vodka lasted less than three days before revealing the actual truth behind such worrying consumption levels. Please Let This Writing Be Right is the cry of a frustrated songwriter hoping that at least, he has found an idea that works. Both are taken from my daily blog at www.threeflats.wordpress.com I write there every day - yes, every day - and have been doing so since January 2018. For the last few months, I've chosen the best two
