More of the circus, and my year (1973) as drummer in the circus band - and thanks to those of you who got in touch after the first one and wanted more. It was quite an experience. We'll leave it for a while, and then revisit the circus again, so please keep an eye out for it if you've enjoyed these.

For his sins, Innfield has always been something of a drummer. It is not given to every drummer to travel with a circus for a year, so here is Innfield's evocative account of his gap year (1973) spent as drummer in the band of a travelling circus in South Africa.

After a lifetime career in mainstream radio, Innfield thought setting up and successfully running an Internet radio station would be a breeze. But it wasn't. So, discouraged, he turned to podcasting, and here we are. In this episode of 'Trains of Thought', we look at the process of setting up an Internet radio station, and why it's fraught with complications and might be best forgotten.

Last week's 'London for Beginners' attracted a few emails from listeners asking for more. I don't want it to become a serial, but we will revisit the topic at some point, so keep an eye out for it. In the meantime, here's some more - and thanks for your interest.

Innfield has an abiding and deep love of London. For a callow 15-year-old from Cape Town, South Africa, to find himself in London for the first time and to discover that it was almost exaclty as he had always imagined it would be is the subject of this warm, nostalgic and tongue-in-cheek episode in the series 'Train of Thought'.

Innfield's 2015 move from Cape Town, South Africa, to Germany (he's moved on again since) was fraught with complications and frustrated tangles with elephantine bureaucracy. In this episode he shares some of it, in his signature warm, tongue-in cheek and sardonic style.
