Just a quick public service announcement. The podcast host is going to change. Not me, the actual podcast host. At some point next week, we'll be moving to a new host for the episodes. So no need to get your hopes up, I'm not going anywhere!It shouldn't cause an issue. But if this is the last episode you see after the 16th - you might need to re-search the podcast on your apps. Because of this - the episode that was meant to be on Tuesday - Badfinger's Straight Up will be pushed forward to the next week. So it will air on the 16th April, rather than the 9th. Here begins a new era of the podcast! Happy listenin'.
