This is a special epsiode where I bring you an edition of my old podcast Is This Thing On that I produced between 2008 and 2024. I am very proud of these old shows and you can still find all of them via the link as well as on Spotify. You may notice a few similarities as well as a few differences. These were long shows! I would be very interested in your comments so please do. 

This is a take two as the one I put out on Monday didn’t work. 

It should do now. xx

Below are the original shownotes.

Did you miss me? Well I’m back with a bucketfull of the best independent music you have ever heard. In no particular order I played The Cherry Bluestones – By Your Leave, Catfish & The Bottlemen – Sidewinder, Vivid Nation – We’re Not The Same, We Steal Flyers – Our World, Sigurdor Gudmunson ~ Naem, Killing No Murder – Reality TV Star, Captain Backfire – Double Kid, Jon Gomm – Gloria, Lock n Load – Lock n Load and a song from me Don’t from my new  “Big Set”.

I interviewed the amazing Anja McCloskey and she also plays a brand new track “Black Coffee” live in the ITTO studio.

I also mentioned The Hot Potatoes Podcast but you’d best give that a wide birth unless you like crazy British potato humour.

I’ll be back next week with more of the best music you have never heard.
