the radiofreemidwich show episode 50 [https://radiofreemidwich.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/episode-50-pic.jpg?w=1024]https://radiofreemidwich.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/episode-50-pic.jpg Hello comrades!  Blimey, 50 eh?  Seems worth noting.  In lieu of a party, I’ve decided to abandon the established format and do something even more special than usual.  A few weeks ago, I put out a call to artists previously featured on the show asking if they had anything unheard I could play in celebration.  This could be, for example, a demo, rehearsal, out-take, or a track from an unreleased project.  The original idea was to mix these in with other new stuff but so many superb tracks have been shared that I’ve put together this entire show with exclusives.  I hope you enjoy this treat as much as I delighted in baking it – I’ve been knocked on my arse by the generosity and quality offered! Here’s links to the artists’ work – show ’em some support!

rob presents the radiofreemidwich show episode 49!

the radiofreemidwich show episode 49 [https://radiofreemidwich.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/episode-49.jpg?w=1024]https://radiofreemidwich.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/episode-49.jpg Hello comrades!  I’m guessing we could all do with a little distraction before getting back to the fight, eh?  So here’s half an hour for you.  The show is bookended with righteous anger but in the middle we have industrial clunk, magickal incantations, an outsider art mystery and our second reading from the wonderful Kevin Boniface. The next episode will be #50, which is one of those landmarks that merits noting, but I haven’t decided what to do to celebrate it (suggestions welcome).  Luckily, due to some family stuff it will be delayed by a couple of weeks, so I have time to mull it over.  In the meantime, why not listen to old episodes you’ve missed or catch up with sister podcasts such as Anticipating Nowhere, Hide From Time, Phantom Circuit or any number of others doing the work.  I’ll be back before you know it.

Terrific line up. Of special note is that today’s interlude is a reading by Kevin Boniface.  Kevin is a writer and artist who makes his living as a postman in Huddersfield.  His diaries – beautifully observed vignettes of ordinary life, presented deadpan, free of judgement – were published in a book called Round About Town by Uniform Books in 2018.  I love this book, I find the writing hypnotic, poignant and frequently hilarious and when I saw Kevin tweet a link to a soundcloud recording of him reading I took a chance and sent a DM.  He graciously agreed to choose and read a handful of excerpts for me to use as interludes in coming shows.  Three more to look forward to.
