When I feel like it, I put together a manageable-sized block of music - 30 to 60 minutes, that you could listen to on a walk, run or commute etc., that I think people might like, or hate, or at least find interesting. And I share it as a podcast, so you can listen to it from the widget in the blog, download it, or get your podcast app to download it automatically every time a new one appears.

My Precious Ears! 2015-06-08

Number five. Supplied by Ceri on the occasion of my stag party.
Thanks Ceri. If anyone else wants to contribute, here is the process: 1, give me an MP3. 2, I put it up.
Says Ceri:
"Here’s the playlist - with a theme… it is sort of all about the depressing stuff you have left behind in Cardiganshire for a weekend of debauchery in Scotland!"

My Ears! 2015-03-30

Number three.
This one starts pretty raucous, stays that way for quite a while, then calms down until it's almost horizontal. And there's a joke at the end!
Strong and sustained swearing at one point. Have fun listening.
