Hello podfans!

Thank you for listening and welcome to my little basic page to support the podcast. Over the next few weeks and pods I'll be adding stuff here but for now feel free to post comments and suggestions of stuff I should be covering and/or what you'd like to see here.

Writing & Reviews

If you like what you hear then I have reviewed online all over the place including:

• BFFS Scotland
• Fest & Fest Online
• Kinocite
• IO Film (archive now at Eyeforfilm)
• EdinburghGuide.com
• Itchy Edinburgh
• Edinburgh University Film Society

Behind the Scenes

For them that like a little "making of" type action here's the random geeky stuff:

• My new music is a wee loop called "Roller Derby" (which is ace for a girl who so enjoyed Roller Girl) from GarageBand. If you'd like to write me something better please do!
• I am uploading podcasts through PodBean but if you have any great recommendations for a better podcast service that would be super. Podbean are doing a good job so far but before I commit to paying anything I want to know I have picked well!
