A Question for Listeners of The Now Spinning Magazine Podcast
Hi Everyone,
I have been very lucky attracting guests who are at the forefront of creating music. Many of them of my persocnal music heroes and there are a lot more to come.
However, I want to ask you a question which relates to how and where this podcast should be heading.
1. The musician interviews will continue
2. A new regular episode call 'Meet The Collector' is due soon where I talks to music fans from around the world about their collections
3. For those of you who have seen my music reviews and special features on YouTube do you think these could also be podcasts? I feel I am potentially missing a trick here is broadening the reach of the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast.
4. The way I release my Podcasts is very haphazard would you prefer to have a specific day / time when my podcasts are released so you know when they are due?
Thank you so much for all your support
Please favourite or write a review on whatever platform you listen to my podcasts on. This really does help.
