As you noted yourself, a big plus to your podcasts is that they’re all music. Not that we’re not interested in you, it’s just that music rules!

Hi Simon. Thanks for the mention (and link).

> I hope its a passing phase now as I am becoming more confident with public speaking (on the rare occasion I make it to a Multipack meeting for example). However, it still seems like early days.

It really does get easier the more you do it. The really tough bit about voiceovers (or podcasting, or playing music live, or DJing) is getting past the nerves. Unfortunately hardware and software companies haven’t found an instant fix for that.

That said, it sounds as if keeping more or less schtum works for you and works for your listeners, so why change it if you don’t want to or don’t feel the time is right? Much better to read the happy listener emails and quietly grow a giant rampaging ego instead.

Well said, Like you said one of the reasons your PodCast’s are so great is that you don’t speak over them - Mixing in a website link here and there and a little self promotion (as you do it so stylishly) is as far as it needs to go - Even defected talk over their newest tracks which annoys me greatly!

Either way, Just wanted to say Bikini Beats (July) was probably the best PodCast you’ve done to date in my humble opinion, It simply hasn’t been out of my CD player for the entire month. I’m eagerly awaiting “Over the Rainbow” to download now! Makes the British summer much more bearable.

Keep up the good work, as always!
