This week I talk about a big subject.  And it's one I'll come back to, but it's one I can't avoid any longer - Social Anxiety.

I chart my thoughts on parties from when I was a kid, through to the huge parties I throw for friends these days.

If you're looking for an episode with a happy twist at the end, this one isn't going to give it to you, I'm afraid.

In this episode, I'll talk about learning to play the recorder, then the violin and how I moved onto the piano.  And then about how I've moved onto singing in recent years.

A couple of relevant links from this episode.

Also - as I say at the start of this one, forgive the fact that I have a cold and sound a bit funny this time around.

Just a little three minute bonus with a few words about the podcast theme... Enjoy!

In the final episode of the opening, scene-setting trilogy, I rattle through my days at school, and mention the word "gay" for the first time.

Something a little different next time, likely in about two weeks...

In this episode we go back to my first memory.  And then to my second.  And from there we take a look at my PE teachers at school, and just what they did to me.

This is the first episode, in which I set the scene, and talk about what I'm going to be talking about.

I'm getting this episode out there, and there may be a small pause before the next one, but my eventual aim is to get an episode out every two weeks or so.
