OK, so starting the Mixtape blogs after the first show has aired probably seems a little disorganised. Guilty as charged.
If I'm honest it was a little bit due to shyness. I thought get it out there, see how it lands. Don't draw too much attention to it in case it proves to be a colossal mistake.
Well, Episode 1 wasn't perfect, but it didn't bomb either. It makes sense now to let Pop In The Real World on Mixcloud have a sniff of publicity.
Episode 2 is out there now. You can access it through the link above. Episode 1 is still there too. but it's so last week now. If you listen on Mixcloud you can follow and favourite us, and you'll receive automatic notifications when a new show is released. You can also comment with ideas for future shows, thoughts on the show that's underway or write something to make me laugh.
Episode 1 generated quite a bit of lovely feedback. Thank you for that.
There was also a suggestion from Keith of Northolt, that a list of the songs played would be welcome. I see the benefit of that. You hear a song. You like it. you want to hear it again. I understand that completely. The only snag is, if I give you a playlist why would you listen to the show? (That's what we in the trade call a rhetorical question. It doesn't requite an answer.) I can confirm that if you type PITRW Mixcloud and the episode number into Spotify, you should be able to access the songs. If you're happy just to have a list of the songs, each week I will publish the songs from the previous show,
I hope that makes sense. Here were the shows that featured in Episode 1:
