Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 189 and I'm joined today by the legendary Don Lex.

I'm so excited to get this one locked in. I normally give you guys a heads up a week or two before of who the guests are, but

because a lot of them, you know, fall through and I get over excited and announce them and then people are busy.

I won't list the people have been that case, but you know, I've done it before. So I try and hold off.

So I didn't want to mention this one until it was in the bag. And then as soon as it was in the bag, I wanted to put it out immediately. So yeah,

very excited to talk to Don Lex. There's a true legend of reggae punk, film, documentary,

ism all of that is great. So that's been good. I need to give big love for all the love that's been going out on the on recent podcast episodes last week's episode with Florence Pew.

Amazing a reaction. What wonderfully intelligent and articulate 22 year old kids these days, eh? And thank you for everyone who voted for her in the EE rise in starbifter.

And watch a lady with a bet. I got tons of tweets from people who heard the podcast and went and watch

lady with a bet on demand immediately. And that was cool because that was in my films the year. And yeah, when I talked about it last year with Chris Fairbanks,

it wasn't available on demand. So there wasn't that immediate a reaction. So that was cool. I'm rambling. That's the norm.

This week's podcast is brought to you by distraction. What no speech available say every week. I've got it speech available

ruckles.com. We've got some new merch on its way there. It's super exciting. I've got to want to announce it, but I'm not going to hold off until it's available.

I might have snuck a certain item that's sold out three times last year. I might have snuck that back into the web store and not

announced it or mentioned it or put it on the front page because it sells out quickly. And I've I've ordered them in to go with

the new item that we launched in soon, but I thought I'll sneak them up.

Secretly cryptic, right? Yeah. Anyway, onto this week's episode is anything else I need to tell you? Oh, it's, I mean, it's Don Letz. And I've had him at the club night a few times.

The last club night, which was another sold out wheel is it's he was there for that. The next one's actually at the end of March.

And we've got Brock party DJ set. So check that out. That's at the book club as ever. This is with Don Letz and we talk about

regain Britain and punking Britain. And I should mention now I've just said that I don't normally hype ones, but I'm going to be recording one with my uncle Pat.

And that might sound weird, but Pat's amazing. And although my family have never been particularly musical Pat has always been the musical influence because he was

the first ever UK label manager of Trojan Records, which is a massive deal. And he had his own regain prints and he had a radio show and all sorts of stuff. He had said he had his own and reggae label.
