Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. Jason Newland. This is let me bore you to sleep.

Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Yeah, so today I'm a little bit late recording this. It's pretty much tomorrow.

But hey, I've been working on a couple of things. One of those is still trying to learn the Adobe software. And I've set myself a target of producing one new video on YouTube every day.

And this isn't filming myself or anything like that. Basically, what I'm doing is I'm going through the my hypnosis archive that I released on my podcasts. And I've actually got a podcast just for that.

There's only like 50 recordings. It took me 15 years to make them. And but what's not included, so I'm just gonna pull my sleeve down.

What's not included in those archived recordings is all the let me bore you to sleep or sleep hypnosis weekly or deep sleep whisper or the relaxation for stress or anxiety. There's no chronic pain ones on there at the moment. Well, I will go through those to add some.

There's also no self development or self help ones either. So you know, it's not a full podcast at the moment. But what I'm going to be doing is going through those because they are the best recordings audio recordings I have.

Out of all the relaxation, sleep stuff that I did between 2006 and probably 2015. Really, maybe up to 2018. But 2015 pretty much.

Because when I moved here, I started having the quality of what I did increased, you know, the quality of the recordings improved a bit, I think. And still does, I do believe. Please let me know if what you think about the quality of the audio.

I think really the secret on the secret, the for me, the thing that is the proof of the pudding is the gaps. What is what you can hear when I'm not talking. And hopefully that's very minimum.

I mean, there is a little bit of a buzzing in the in the room. I'm not sure where that buzzing is coming from. I don't think the iPad makes a noise, but maybe it does.

It could be could be the light bulb. I don't know. I really don't know.

Just could just be my ears echoing. So do a very large earlobes, like the not earlobes, the bits inside the ears, you know, the hearing part, the cavities, the caves, big, big, big, big, deep caves. So maybe that's what it is.

Maybe it's just maybe it's something I heard last week, and it's still bouncing around in one of my earlobes. Earlobes, is that right? So I'm working on the video one a day. And it's quite time consuming.

And so I'm doing it all on the Adobe Premiere video software. And as well as still watching videos on how to do stuff and just but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but I also I need to focus also on podcasts. So it's, it's a, it's a, it's a juggling, juggling act a little bit.

but it's okay, it's alright, because the better the quality sound is, the more motivated I feel inside to make recordings, because especially with the hypnosis stuff, because then I can see more of a future with the quality, just I don't know, it's a thing that I've got, it's something that is important to me. Yeah, so there you go. The other thing that I've been doing today is that I'm saying the words, but I've got no idea what the end part of this sentence is going to be, because I can't actually remember anything.

Oh yeah, now I've got a couple of people that are not big fans of the adverts on my podcasts at the beginning of the podcasts, so I'm going to address that. They're there so that I can buy a yacht. Okay, sorted, done.

Now let's move on shall we? Now I wouldn't buy a yacht even if I did have the money, I'm not really a sailor, you know, I'll go on a big ship, but a little yacht, when I say little yacht, I'm talking about anything that's smaller than a big ship, so even like a hundred million dollar yacht, it's still a little boat, in the sense that I want to be on a big, huge and massive bit of metal, which is weird. How do they float? I've got a little theory that they don't float at all, they're just so big, they're actually got wheels and they're just traveling along the seabed, but no one admits to it, that's what I think, or on some kind of a pulley system.

Aquaman's under there, he's putting a ship along, that's weird.

So the second thing I've been doing is, I've been addressing that, been addressing the adverts. First of all, it's not always necessarily the adverts at the beginning that annoyed people, it's the adverts at the beginning of the next recording that plays automatically. Now in your settings on your podcast, you can change them so that it doesn't automatically play the next episode.

I imagine it's different depending on which podcast service you use. Spotify may be different to Apple podcasts, or Google podcasts, or Castbox, or you know, different ones. They may not all offer that service as well.

So again, I'm not, I can't, you know, everyone's got their own preferred place to listen. So the adverts are there in order for me to well, pay for this microphone, to pay for the hundreds of dollars a month it costs me to run this free service. And it's going up all the time, the price, the cost, it's just, it's, yeah, it's quite a lot of money actually.

So if I, if I took the adverts off, just hearing Andre making some weird noises. Hmm, if I took the adverts off the podcasts, there would no longer be a podcast. That's kind of where we are on that.

So the adverts are going to stay. What I've done, I'm in the process of doing it now, is I, and I've done this before, and I kind of stopped it. And now I thought, well, I'm doing it.

I've started it. So I've started a new SoundCloud podcast, ad free. So I am uploading, I've already uploaded the archived recordings, and that's in a playlist on its own.

I'm in the process of uploading the Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings. Admittedly, I've got to number 58 so far, so there's a few to do. And that's in its own playlist.

I will upload all of the Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis ones with its own playlist, and the Relaxation For Stress And Anxiety in its own playlist, and the Sleep Hypnosis Weekly in its own playlist. And I suppose as well as the Storytime ones in its own playlist, and yeah, I think that's kind of it. Maybe the Stop Smoking stuff as well.

And then every time I produce a new recording, I will add it to the advert free podcast on SoundCloud. And I can, I can actually have adverts on SoundCloud. So I've specifically got it so there's no adverts.

And that's going to cost me a hundred and twenty pound a year to provide that, which is very illogical really, but there you go. I don't mind. It's so $180, $170.

This is about $168 a year, something like that, $170 a year. That's how much the, it's gonna cost me to provide that advert free podcast for you on SoundCloud. And the good thing about SoundCloud is it has playlists, which means it's easier to navigate, easier to choose what you want to listen to, and you know, rather than just have thousands of recordings and just tend to sort of go down the page continuously in the hope of finding stuff.

Also because it's, it's a podcast on its own, it won't be limited to the most recent 250 episodes. So all of my stuff will be on there advert free to listen to, and I will put the link on my website when I have eventually completed it. So you know, what's it, Tuesday today, it's gonna take probably by the weekend before it's all done.

I don't want to put too much time into it, because there's no benefit really to me to do that. It's, it's benefiting those that I've got an issue with the adverts, but when I am uploading them, it's limiting other things I can do because of the internet being used. But it's okay, it will be done, it will be done, I will be done.

And every time, as I said, when I release a new recording, it will be added. So that would be a place where those that either don't want to support me, or don't, you know, don't want to have the adverts, can then listen. I imagine you can listen to the playlists, listen to recordings one after another, I'm not sure.

So I'm just trying to sort of cater for everybody. It's hard, it's hard to be everything for everyone. But now I've accomplished it, and I'm almost angelic, I feel.

I do feel like the wings are growing in my back, either that or I've got another boil growing, a boil coming up, a boil. It's a weird word isn't it, boil. It's got a boil.

It's a really good word for it though, because a boil is horrible, painful. I've had a few in the past, when I was younger. I used to get boils on my nose when I was at school.

Seriously, like the worst place in the world, well not the worst, there's worse, but you know, as far as being seen. If it was on my chest, I could hide it up, even if it was sort of anywhere else, but right on my nose. It was, it was just, my nose was flashing on and off.

Honestly, it was ridiculous, but I haven't had any of those for years. I had, last time, I think I was 19 the last time I had one, maybe I was 20. But luckily, you know, I think you need to have hormones in your body in order to sort of produce spots, and I don't have any hormones anymore.

I think the only spots I get is just because of dirt. Oh God, that's not even funny, that's gross. No, I don't get, I only get spots.

I didn't have really, didn't really have really bad acne when I was at school. I just had spots. You know, I didn't, because acne is like spots upon spots, isn't it? It's, I didn't have that.

But I think the reason is because I kind of only half-heartedly went through puberty. I'm still waiting for it to finish. You know, I didn't sort of do, it didn't go the hard, the hard way, like, you know, like the, almost like the adrenaline kicked in, like, right, you're now going to turn into a man.

It didn't happen with me. I just, you know, it was like a flutter. It was like, yeah, there's a few, a few hairs and I don't want to put any pressure on the system.

I don't want to bother making any parts bigger. Well, thanks for that. Don't worry, it's fine.

You know, that's a lot of work. I got very lazy, very lazy pubic manager, whoever, whoever was in charge of that part of my development, physical growth. The, that part was very lazy.

Just literally just almost like didn't turn up half the time. Missed out on a few major, major things that needed to be done. I didn't.

I mean, even my voice, I mean, my voice didn't break till I was 46. If you listen, if you, if you listen to my recordings, the early recordings, I was talking like this, hello, welcome to www.jasonnewland.com or I might have said jasonnewland.com, but I was wrong, wasn't I? I only said new land so that people could, would know how to spell the website. So when they visited, did, did, did, yep, that was the plan all along.

All along, man, was the plan. So if, if you're really bored, check out my YouTube video, the new one I did. It's an old recording, well not old, it's a few years old, but the videos, you know, I put together a video.

It's a full of like different candles, but it's video footage of candles. And yeah, it's, it's progress. Very, very slight progress.

And it took me ages to do it. Because I guess I don't really know what I'm doing. I do a little bit.

But I kind of don't at the same time. But it's okay, because the answer to a question is never that far away, really. You know, if I'm thinking, okay, so how do I, how do I turn this thing on? So I'm gonna go to YouTube and find out how to open the software and just little things like that is helpful.

So there's a lot of tutorials. Also, also, again, this is another big financial well another financial thing. Expense.

I've not looked into it properly. Oh, there's something else that's really exciting. I forgot about this.

I'll tell you in a minute. I mean, I'm proper, proper like, oh, I'm wobbly inside when I think about it. So yeah, this is another thing I'm quite excited about is apparently there's an add on.

Or, I don't know, an add on whatever you want to call it to. I think it's Premiere, the video Adobe Premiere video editing. And it means you can automatically transcribe videos from just the video itself.

So it does it for you. But there's a charge of, I don't know, $300. It's a one off payment.

And then you can use it as many times as often as you want. And the software developer updates it regularly. And, you know, now, you know, $300.

Wow, that's a lot of money to pay out. And right. Yeah, fair enough.

But then when you break down the cost of getting the transcription, especially if you've got hundreds upon hundreds of recordings or videos to transcribe, then charging 10 cents for a minute of recording, which is $6 per hour to $6 per recording. So $6, $122, $240, $300, $6, $120, $240, $300, $6, $6, $60. As Ted, so 50 recordings, I could get 50 transcriptions for $300.

Or I can get 1000s. You know, so if you if you're way up like that, it does make a difference. Okay, let's start looking at things.

And this is something I'm going to do soon at all got too many other things to try and figure out how to do. But it's definitely in the back of my mind, so that I can then look at putting together a book based on my, my teachings. No, based on my recordings, because not the like sleep recordings, where I'm saying sleep counting down from 10 to 1, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, now you're asleep.

Not that kind of stuff, but the, the more self help self development, positivity stuff that I've done. And that'd be good to see what I can get out of that. I'm just having a drink.

So yeah, that's what I'm going to be doing in the future. I hope I just need to keep focused. But today, I discovered something that got me very excited.

And it's something that I've been looking for, for years. And no one will share out together. What a personality.

Nice. Stop it. Don't be rude.

I've been looking what brain we stop. I've been wanting to have a radio show. For years, I've looked at the software, the hardware, the websites, all this stuff.

And it's different ways of doing it. None of which I'm particularly impressed with. And one of the reasons is my chair is a bit squeaky.

One of the reasons is simply because there's two types of radio show that I could do. And it wouldn't be a radio show, it would be a podcast. That's why I wanted to do it.

I thought about doing like a live radio show. My internet is not, it's not trustworthy enough to do that. Plus, the idea of, you know, having to make a show at a specific time.

It's not always ideal living around here because there's, you know, there's sometimes domestic arguments going on around the place. There's some colorful characters around here, who, I guess they're just a bit bored. And they like to shout at each other and stuff.

Bless them. So I don't want that in the background of a recording or the live stream. So a podcast would be the ideal thing because that's what I do.

So I could put together a radio show, but on a podcast and then release that every week or whenever I decide to, you know, how often I choose to do them. Realistically, daily would be an impossibility. There's just way too much other things to do.

So we'll see, we'll see. But anyway, I discovered a way that the thing that's been putting me off is I could do a radio show where I just talk. Which would be a podcast where I just talk.

I'm already doing that. I'm doing that here. I'm just talking about nothing or sometimes about something.

I'm already doing that. Why would I do another podcast and like a radio podcast show where I'm just doing the same thing? So what I've really wanted, and I was thinking about doing one, like a relaxation radio show where I played relaxation, relaxing music, talked for a bit, played some music, talked for a bit again, played some more music. And just using free to use music, non copyright music.

And there's a few websites to offer that. Some of them actually offer it on a subscription. So you pay like a monthly fee, which means that the artists get a share of that money.

Because they've got like proper, not proper, but they got musicians. I mean, all musicians are proper musicians, aren't they? But they've got musicians. And those people, those people, blimey, where am I coming from here? I didn't realize I was prejudiced against musicians.

Those people. I was thinking of doing that. But the music would be, although it'd be relaxing, it wouldn't be something that would be known or well known.

For example, it would be, you know, Beethoven or some classical music that is recognizable to a lot of people. I mean, most people would recognize classical music because it was on an advert. I'm in that category.

It's hard to believe, but I'm not particularly sophisticated. Very hard to believe, I am sure. So what I wanted to do, what I really wanted to do was to have, I was going to say proper music, commercial music, hits.

I said hits. You know, the ABBA, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, ABBA, the Bee Gees, Bross, ABBA, you know, whatever, the Bee Gees, George Michael, Stevie Wonder. I really can't think of any artists, but it was, it was impossible to do that.

I mean, there is a way, you probably get away with it for a while. You might get away with it forever. But my head of music, you can't do it on YouTube because you get, you'd probably lose your channel if you started putting whole songs without some kind of permission to do that.

But the, I wanted to do that. So I was thinking I'd love to be able to maybe do like a radio show, talk, introduce the song. So okay, now I'm going to play Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! And maybe talk about my, what I was doing in my life when that song was in the charts.

And I do remember, I remember hearing that song on the radio when I was working in the bakehouse, which is the bakery part of this restaurant in the town I lived. I don't know why I said the town I lived. Obviously, I'm not going to travel the other side of the country every day, am I? What, at 13? Really? Really? You need to give yourself a good old, good old talking to, thinking that way.

Of course I didn't have to travel. You can't travel when you're 13. Yeah, it was on the beach.

It was a walk, that was it. Anyway, I remember hearing ba-do-da-boom-boom, ba-do-da-boom-boom, and then, you know, the song. It was great.

And then the song would come on the radio. It was just a bloke next to me working, he used to be like ba-do-ba-doom-boom. That's all he said.

Morning Bob, ba-do-ba-doom-boom. Weird though sometimes, like, Bob do you want me to do any more eggs, like break any more eggs for you? Ba-do-ba-doom-boom. I never knew if it was yes or no.

I remember when I left, he looked quite sad when I left. I suppose I got to know him a bit, and he used to see me every weekend. I was still at school, so we didn't hang out at the pub or anything.

But, you know, he saw me every Saturday, Sunday morning, and I left. I left the job because I can't remember why. I had quite a few different jobs, different little ways of getting a little bit of money.

I used to try and be a wheeler dealer, but I wasn't great at it. I think I broke even, but I never made a profit. I used to try, but I'd always have money because I had like four jobs on the go, part-time jobs.

I just always had a little bit of cash and stuff. In fact, I probably had more money then than I do now, which is absolutely very weird. It's hard to believe.

It may be hard to believe, but it's a true man. Truman. No, true man.

That's what I said, the true man, like the true man show with George Clary. No, it's Jim Clary. Jim Clary? Jim Derry Clary.

Clary? Is it Jim? Jim Dale. Jim Carey. Carey, not Clary Carey.

Jim Carey. Carey. It's not a real name, is it? It's not a real Carey.

Unless he is a very Carey person. So I wanted and I thought about it and I searched and I searched and I searched. Not as hard as I would if someone told me there was an Easter egg hidden in a field.

I'd still be searching now, but I'm just saying I did search quite hard. On the internet. Wow, what's that? Some weird noise outside.

Sounds like someone's playing the drums. It can't be. Wow.

This is someone trying to start their car. Wow. I just pressed pause on the recording to just go and check it out.

It did sound like a drum being played really loudly. And then I realized it was my neighbor's washing machine. It was spinning.

I mean, the washing machine wasn't spinning, you know, the spin cycle. The washing machine was in your hair spinning around. It's fine.

I don't need to see a doctor. That washing machine is very unwell. Honestly, nothing should make that kind of noise.

No thing. And especially nothing that's connected to the electricity. I mean, I'm surprised he didn't short circuit the entire country.

Wow. So. Right, I'm back.

What I was looking to do was to have a radio show. I know you've already said that. Why do you keep repeating yourself? Because I'm trying to fill time up.

That's why I've got nothing to talk about. I don't do anything. I can't talk about my life because I don't have one.

I do nothing, go nowhere, see nobody. I search and I search and I thought I'd really like to be able to play songs that I like, you know, from the past. Even songs that are in the charts now, if I choose, you know, just to have that choice.

And I went on to different websites and I found some that allowed it, but they were charging. I think one or charging something like six pounds or ten pounds per song. If I used it on a podcast.

Or six, maybe it was six dollars or six pounds. Anyway, we still. I mean, you know.

I'd expect to have at least ten songs per episode. We should be, you know, sixty dollars or maybe even a hundred dollars depending on if I forget the amount per ep. That's like, no.

It's just it's an impossibility. So I kind of like one that's not that's no good. And there's a few others that were even more expensive, like one in 50, 50 pounds or, you know, per per usage of a song.

Because I want to make sure that the original artists. In fact, not really. They're not bothered about the original artist as much as the publishers of the songs.

The ones they're the ones that want the money. They're the ones that chase after it. And so.

I, you know, I had no intention of putting together something without doing it properly. I wanted to do everything above the law, above the law, within the law, copyright law. And I eventually found something today.

And I'm just I've tinkered with it. But I haven't actually done anything yet, but I am going to. So basically, this service, it offers me to make a podcast.

And to add songs from Spotify, any song. As many songs as I want from Spotify, from their library. And the rules are you have to talk for a certain amount of time.

So you have to be talking for at least seven or ten minutes between songs. You can't play more than one song at a time after one another. So there has to be a gap.

And. Which is fine. I don't think I'll have too much problems talking.

Which means and the podcast is in. It's submitted to Spotify. Spotify review it, and if they're happy, they then put it on to their.

Into their music section. I'm not quite sure where it goes, but they've got a special place for them. It's.

It's not quite it's not quite podcast, not quite. It's like a mix between a podcast and a playlist, basically. Which means.

That. And it's free. And apparently I can make money from it as well, because it's adverts.

You bloody advert man. Adverts all the time. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. But it's I guess if you're. If you I don't know, I'm not quite sure how it works.

If you're a member of Spotify, you don't have adverts anyway. If you pay, I'm a member of them. I pay monthly for Spotify.

And I don't I think I hear him much in a way of adverts. But I can choose any, any, any, any, any, any, any song from the library. Which is a beautiful thing, man.

Just beautiful. So that's one of the kind of the next thing that I'm looking to do. But I don't want to put it off.

I want to get on it. As soon as possible. And it's part of me would like to do one part of me would like to do it as part of this.

And it wouldn't work because. Well, this is this is a different thing. So there probably be a little bit more.

Energy, maybe not. I don't know. I don't know if I could really be particularly energetic verbally in a podcast because.

I think what happens when you do things like this, you. Over time. I'm hearing someone moving about.

Who am I hearing? There's activity in the hallway. Who is it? I don't know who it was. There's movement.

Other people are using their own free will to do things that they want to do. So. I'd quite like to do.

My radio show podcast. Daily. Yeah.

But. But then at the same time, release it at a specific time every day. I wonder why he's just let off a stink like a proper.

Oh, wow. A proper stink. He doesn't do that very often.

I wonder why. A real proper pong. Maybe it's because it's springtime.

He's he does. He starts to drip. At certain parts of the year.

He's like, I don't know. It's hard to explain, but he's just wet. All the time.

And it's just these glands or is I don't know is. Cause proper stinky. So I guess if you've never had a ferret.

It's hard for me to really explain the smell because. I've never smelled anything like it. Apart from all the other times I smelt it.

I mean before having him. I've been around dogs and cats never. Never.

Giraffes, but I never smelt a pong. Got the washing machines going again. Wow.

That's amazing. Really is loud. I've closed the window.

Which is something that I normally do before I start recording. But today I thought I'd wait until the washing machine started drumming. The drumming washing machine.

And why would you have the washing machine on the anyway? What I might do is do a weekly. Radio show like Saturday. Maybe a weekend Saturday and Sunday.

I don't know. And. Or maybe Sunday just a Sunday.

Radio. Podcast. Music podcast show or something.

I don't know. Call it something. I don't even know what what I should call it.

And then. Because I think. One of the things I need to be working on is my consistency.

Now I am consistently annoying. I know. Also consistently inconsistent.

But my consistency has improved over the years. So I'm a lot more productive than I've ever been. When it comes to this stuff.

How could you have a washing machine? That washing machine is not healthy. Wow. And.

A mind makes quite a lot of noise. That's one of those things I never really understood. With the technology that we have these days.

Why some things are still really really noisy. Like vacuum cleaners. I know there are some that are quiet.

But they're expensive. Other things are noisy. What other things.

Like fans. Of course you can get. Fans that aren't really noisy as well.

I guess if you've got the money. Basically we're talking Dyson here aren't we? Dyson. One of the richest men in the country.

And it's not because of his inventions. It's because he owns. A huge part of the country.

The farms. He owns. A lot of farmland.

Old Mr. Dyson. Does. Seriously.

I'm not joking. It's true. So I need to decide.

I guess first of all how long the show is going to be. So if I do. A weekly show.

Then I'm guessing three hours. Seems to be a good time. Three hours.

Which includes. Ten. Fifty.

Three. Six. Nine.

So probably looking three or four songs an hour. Which is not a huge amount really. I know.

But. Yeah. So yeah.

Maybe a three hour show. And I'll fit as many songs in as I'm able to. Because you know.

They have the rules. And so I'd abide by those. Figure out what they are.

I kind of know roughly. Not. Exactly.

Exact. Not. But.

I'm going to look into it. The only thing it. Will feel really strange.

Because. I. Will be. I'll be.

It'll just be different. I'll be editing. I'll you know.

The way the process is. Is you. Upload.

Or you can talk. Directly onto the podcast. But I will.

I will record. Like this. And then edit the recording.

And each piece. Of dialogue. Is separate.

So. The dialogue. Before.

The song. And then the dialogue. After the song.

And then the dialogue. After the next song. You know.

So it's broken up. So instead of being. I guess that's good.

In a sense. It's three hours. Of talking.

Although. It's very within my means. Or ability to do so.

And I've proved that. Many times. I can very.

Even three hours. Is quite a lot. Even for me really.

But it's. It's very doable. And a bit.

Hell of a lot easier. With songs. In the middle.

You know. A three hour show. With music.

Very easy. Or. You know.

With. I suppose. People phoning in.

Or. With ad breaks. With.

You know. The news. Weather.

You know. The things I have on. Radio shows.

Which does. Break up. The whole thing.

So the. The. Presenter.

Of the show. Isn't. Talking the whole time.

So. I'm going to look into it. I'm interested.

And. If nothing else. It's.

An experiment. And. I guess.

The only two things. I've got to offer. That would make me.

Perhaps different. From other people. That'll be doing this.

Because. There'll be other people. That already are.

I'm sure. Because. Quite a new thing.

That Spotify are offering. But. I've watched videos on it.

And the videos are four months old. So it's been around for a little while. I didn't realize.

Four months. Not a long time. But.

You know. So I'll be getting in on it. Just like I did with the podcasts.

Getting my podcasts onto Spotify. I did that. Quite early.

You know. Because. Spotify is not offered.

The podcasts. Service. Or podcasting service.

And. For podcasters to. To have.

Their podcasts. On Spotify. It's quite a new thing.

It's only been the last. Or a couple of years or so. Maybe less even.

I don't know. But it's not been. It may be longer.

Two years can go quite. Quickly. At times can't it? So yeah.

I just. I'm thinking. I'd quite like to do it.

So what I might do. Is a test. I'm thinking maybe.

Perhaps you can. Tell me what you think. This would be.

You know. I'd appreciate a bit of feedback. On this one.

What you would like. Because. If I did it every week.

Every Sunday. For example. Sunday.

Lunchtime. Or Sunday. Evening.

6 p.m. Or 9 p.m. In the evening. UK time. Which would be.

Maybe one in the afternoon. US time. Or.

Nine in the morning. Australia. So it'd be a. You know.

Doable possibly. So nine to twelve. Although.

It's as long as you want it to be. Really isn't it? As long as you. Wish to listen.

So if I released it. At nine o'clock. Every Sunday.

Evening. It lasts for three hours. And then.

Throughout the week. People. I could offer people a chance to.

Contact me. So that I can do shout outs. And wish people.

Happy birthday. And maybe tell people. You know.

Someone's got a little story. They would like to tell me. Or a message.

They'd like me to pass. On to. A loved one.

And. Yeah. That could be.

Something. It's quite. Traditional.

Isn't it? It'd be quite. Like. Like a traditional radio show.

But it would be me. As the host. Or the presenter.

And. And there is no one like me. I'm not saying that.

Like it's a good thing. Trust me. But there just isn't.

There's no. There's no. There's no radio presenters.

That are like me. So. I usually.

A lot more. Energetic. I'm sitting here.

Half asleep. Yeah. Now the next song.

Is. Where am I? Oh. Yeah.

Yeah. And then. And then.

The next song. Is. I think what would be weird though.

Is if I start playing heavy metal. So. What I'll be doing.

Is going through my. Going through like. You know.

Spotify. Looking for songs. That mean something.

To me. And also. I suppose.

I could do. Um. Requests as well.

So I'm thinking. I could do. Two shows.

Maybe the weekend. One is a request show. And one as.

See again. I. I'd like to do it. Every day.

Because. There's that momentum. There's that.

I don't know. It might be fun. Might actually be fun.

Yeah. At the same time. I also want to.

Keep doing the podcasts. And. You know.

Increase. The YouTube videos. And learn.

The software. And this. I mean to put together a three hour.

Show. Is. Probably looking at five.

Or six hours work. With the talking. With the editing.

With sorting it out. Um. I suppose.

The more I do it. The easier it will become. The quicker.

The process would be. And I can. Choose.

The playlist. Quite early on. And adding the songs.

Doesn't take more than a second. So that's easy. Once the segments of me talking.

Are all ready to put on. That's easy to add. As long as I sort of.

I guess just number them. So I know which goes first. And which goes second.

Yeah. I'm going to look more into it. So.

Maybe give me. Give me some feedback. What do you reckon? What would you like? Would you be interested in hearing.

A radio show. Well it would be a podcast. And you'd only be able to listen to it.

On Spotify. It wouldn't be available. Anywhere else.

They. They have the sole. Ownership of it.

Which is part of their strategy. To get people to go to Spotify. So I guess.

They hope that. Somebody will come along. They'll be popular.

Oh. You know someone that. You enjoy listening to.

Or maybe you enjoy their music. That they like. And I'm quite eclectic.

When it comes to music. You know. I. I only like songs.

From the 60s. Between 64 and 66. So I'm very eclectic.

Isn't that what eclectic means? Being limited. Small minded. Unable to realise that.

Time has moved on. Now I'm eclectic. I like all kinds of music.

Tracy Chapman. Shakin' Stevens. Abba.

I like popular music. Yeah. Basically I quite like popular.

I like. I also like a bit of. Garth Brooks.

I love Dolly Parton. Big fan of her voice. Some of her songs.

Are early songs. Like Bob Dylan as well. And.

Yeah. So lots of different kinds of music. That I've enjoyed over the years.

And. And also. For those in.

Other countries. There might be songs that you have not. Either heard before.

Or haven't heard for a very long time. So it might be. Kind of interesting.

And I could talk about the back. The backdrop to the song. Tell you about what I was up to.

At the time. Maybe what was happening in the country. So I could do a little bit of research.

On that one. A bit of Culture Club. That would be good.

Adam and the Ants. I mean my favorite decades. Music wise.

Was the 80s and 90s. But that was my. Era.

You know that was my. Growing up. From 10 to 20.

And then from 20 to 30. So between the ages of 10. And 30.

Were. Probably the music. That had the biggest influence on my life.

And. I guess. As an adult.

Through my adult life. Most of the. Well I was young.

That was it. You know that's the bottom line. I was young.

I was young. So the music. That was the music.

The background music. To my youth. In the 80s and the 90s.

But I didn't stop. Enjoying music. I just.

Still. For years. I tried to watch the chart show.

Or the top of the pops. Every week. Just to keep updated.

Just to keep. So I knew. What was happening in the music.

And having been a DJ. In the past as well. Not a particularly good one.

But I did. I was up on the music. I knew what was popular.

What was in the charts and stuff. So I tried to keep that alive. When I was.

When I was a kid. And all through. I said the 80s and 90s.

I was very chart conscious. I knew. Most of the songs.

And what was being played. And what was good. None of the underground stuff.

I wasn't really into. Dance music really. Apart from the late 90s.

There was a lot of really popular dance music. In the late 90s. I liked.

There was a bit of a. A phase that. We all went through. Some great songs.

Which is great for me. Because I was playing them. In my disco.

Yes my disco. Have I told you about that. Please sit down.

Have a cup of tea. And I'll tell you all about it. Would you like a scone.

Yeah. It was quite up to date. So that's what I'm thinking of doing.

Let me know what you think. If you're still awake. If you are still conscious.

Please write me a letter. And now I'm going to go. So thank you for listening.

Remember to be kind to yourself. Because. You deserve.

To be happy. Lots of love. Bye.
