Straight from the Hot Tap

We're not dead! After a 6 months of work, work and more work, here's an out of date but still pretty fun episode. Turning 40. People boasting. Unfulfilled dreams. It's funnier than it sounds, I promise....@muzurphulus linktr.ee/str8fromthehot…

Here's part 4 of our #ukraine special series. This is about as real as you can get- we interview a Ukrainian interpreter forced to flee home by the advancing Russians. This is not a fun listen. Please #donate to the #redcross appeal: linktr.ee/str8fromthehot…

Here's part 2 of our Ukraine series. In this episode @muzurphulus, @paulbiddle401 and @matthewbaty discuss the war, what it means for Europe, how to stop it, and ask that big question....how scared should we be? linktr.ee/str8fromthehot… #madewithzencastr #UkraineRussianWar

Well we were wrong, but this is still a great listen. The brilliant @paulbiddle401 discusses the Ukraine crisis before it happened. This gives great insight into #Ukraine, the psyche of Russia in the lead up. Part 2 will discuss what came next. linktr.ee/str8fromthehot…

Fantastic evening out at #jackassforever courtesy of the brilliant @manscaped. The film was suitably ridiculous!

So my other, surprisingly successful podcast (linktr.ee/grassrootsrugb…) has been shortlisted for an award! I'd be so, so, so grateful if the #IndiePodcast community could vote. We're up against some big pro pods so every little helps! sportspodcastawards.com/categories/13

@nathaliejacoby1 I think the word 'racist' needs careful defining. I'm miles away from a neo-Nazi with a swastika tattoo and collection of 1940s German memorabilia, but do I have unconscious bias and a natural advantage in life? Well probably.

I am in desperate need of some new podcasts. I'm looking for funny, I'm looking for interesting, I'm looking for hosts with excellent banter. Any favorites to share?

Here's episode 25 of linktr.ee/str8fromthehot…! Bit long in the making, but it was a fun chat. A bit more serious than usual! #podernfamily #Podcast @muzurphulus

@shewillrockupod I saw this and thought of you! BBC News - Adele gets Spotify to take shuffle button off all album pages bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

What is the hardest part of podcasting? Diary management, that's what, especially when you have a team of 5. Anyway, here's episode 24. We are a bit mean about millennials. Sorry...probably 'cos we're jealous. linktr.ee/str8fromthehot….

@ChatsunamiPod Balance. 1hr of jokes is too much, equally 1hr of serious content turns people off. Mix it up and use sound clips / jingles to demarque changes in segment

Question of the night: what's the most important thing that makes a good podcast?🤔

Post a pic YOU took with no description and bring some zen to the TL.

After an enforced delay by work, here's a new episode about the pain of work! We also welcome @ITVGranadaGamal who gave us a fascinating insight into working as a broadcast journalist. linktr.ee/str8fromthehot… #madeonzencastr #spotifypodcasts #castboxfm #PodNation

@PodcastMovement Don't blow all your best material in the first few episodes!

Mistakes happen, but learning from them is 🔑 What's a lesson you learned from a podcasting mistake?

Podcasting is a frustrating business; you put your heart into it, work hard to be / interesting / well produced etc. then minimal feedback from listeners. Do people like it? Does anyone listen? Then you get a review like this and you remember why you do it. Thanks @BexGoos!
