The role of a booking agent can be tricky and demanding at the best of times but when your latest 'client' is a podcast featuring two promoters who routinely bash you and your colleagues, it's a whole different ball game.

What were the challenges of booking the first tour in venues you wouldn't find a metal band? Was it tough to get promoters to cough up fees for an unknown quantity? And what's happening with the towels?

We go again, every Thursday morning.
