March 20, 2025 The Machines Have Told Me It's OK
We start this week's episode with a little help from our future machine overlords; they might destroy us all but before that they can help write lesson plans. We also have some correspondence about trombone solos, drum phonetics and musical gifts. George started rehearsals with a new Lainey Wilson tribute act and Ben gets passionate about dynamics. There’s also time for some London based cajon chat and a memorable performance at Buckingham Palace. Enjoy!

March 06, 2025 I Wanna Be Able To Strangle A Greek
It’s episode 172 in this series of immaculately edited podcasts and there’s plenty to get through. George took a trip to ‘medley town’ in a recent gig as well as an actual trip by having to cycle two hours to his first day at a new teaching job due to his car’s MOT expiring. Ben’s had a lovely new door fitted for the new studio, been busy on the trombone and had to dig deep to make some cups of tea. Enjoy!
