I have a little bit of a rant in this podcast: We should still be socially distancing in the UK. So many people at some beaches they had to declare a major incident.  Over 40 tonnes of waste (including human waste) had to be cleared from beaches by local councils. Stupid!

Inspired by Omaniblog, I respond to His question as to why I would upgrade my phone. The answers are more interesting than you might think, especially if you don’t know me very well. :)

Join me as I celebrate the Summner Solstice with a few songs, some summer sounds and a bit of chat.

Not upgraded since my iPhone 8 plus and now have the iPhone 11 Pro Max. First time experience of Face ID. Loving the way everything just appears on my new phone from my old one. Slightly perplexed over the fact that you can only make stereo recordings with video but, not with audio only. Happy over all though.

Trying a new and developing podcast setup via my laptop. Using a RØDE NT-USB MinI Microphone on a boom arm. I also share a song which I covered on my keyboard. Its Why Worry, originally performed by Dire Straits and written by Mark Knopfler  

To the backdrop of a thunder storm which came through on Tuesday, I recount my two worst thunder storm experiences growing up.  We end with a short montage of the storm In the form of a time-laps  as itaudiomo day 13: tempestuous tuesday, there is a storm in town.m4aaudiomo day 13: tempestuous tuesday, there is a storm in town.m4a gathered momentum.

One of the best things about #AudioMo is that you get to hear both new and familiar voices.  With the new in mind, I put out a call on an email forum I’m on, asking if anyone wanted to be part of one of my Podcasts.

34 year old Anick Morris came to my virtual studio to have a chat. Anick has a variety of interests including being A Samaritan volunteer, A qualified Amateur Radio Operator; A park  committee member; Singing in a choir and speaking other languages. We began with a question I often ask:  If an alien landed next to you, what would be the first thing you would want them to know about you. 

Given that Anick works with The Samaritans, it is entirely appropriate to provide details of how you can contact them for support, should you need to. Whatever you're going through, call them  free any time, from any phone, on 116 123. Free. One-to-one. Open 24 hours a day. You can also email them on: [email protected] or visit their website at: www.samaritans.org. 

A few people asking how they can start podcasting off the back of some of my audio they have heard. In this episode, I try to communicate what I have learned and do a bit of a deep dive into podcast creation. I hope its worth while to those who asked and I’m happy to help people start the podcasting journey.

92 Days since I last saw my Claire due to #Corona19 and #LockDown. Sad its been so long, but, blessed that we’v all avoided it and want to continue to do so.
