    RC 273: Please Hold On

    Take the number 273 to Snoozie Bottom for more hold music and more silly chat. It’s way better than the music playing loudly on the phone of the kid on the top deck, and you don’t have to worry about which zone you are in or if you have credit on your Oyster card (people…

    A new spoken word podcast which marks several things: Ian Fondue’s Lloydbrary reaching #100 (delayed by several major life events), the end of 2017 and start of 2018, and the first time I’ve been part of a spoken podcast in over 3 years, a (brief?) break in my retirement!

So it’s not a surprise that I’ve been listening to a lot of Nigerian and South…

    Ballet Zoom – Rescate Espacial (Space Rescue)

    OK fallen down another internet rabbit hole, this time a Spanish Pan’s People dance troupe called Ballet Zoom.

Seems they released a few records, like Pan’s People.…
