Okay, I give in. I'm putting my podcast on a euphemistic "hiatus." I'm just too busy and with the book coming out this fall, it will mean I'll have progressively less time over the coming months for such nonsense.
I'll still post mixes when I do them--but you'll have to get them here, rather than as part of a podcast subscription.
There, I feel better already.
I've just posted a new episode of my podcast, The Difficult Listening Hour.
