Well lads and ladies, we've made it to Episode 10! I promised you all a wee treat, so this week we have our first ever guest on the podcast; my former flatmate here in Cologne (and the finest man in Aachen's Fair City,) Jakob Sailer!

As a wee celebration, this week's episode takes a U-Turn and heads down a new road. During the COVID pandemic, I moved into a new flat with Jakob, a non-flutist, so I've got him on to talk about what it's like to spend lockdown with a professional flutist in the bedroom next door.

I test Jakob's memory skills on the orchestral excerpts he heard me play hundreds of times, and give him his first ever flute lesson, all whilst sipping on a few (many) flute themed cocktails.

The chapters of this chaotic episode are down below if you want to see what's on the menu for today.

And, if you want to chat more, he's all my socials, I'd love to hear from you!
