Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime. If I get my kid a phone, I'll be able to keep in touch with them all the time. They'll be on it all the time. He could walk to school by himself. She could see something, she shouldn't. He could chat with grandma. Friends, trolls? They can access anything on the internet. They can access anything on the internet.

So, should I give my kid a phone? chat with grandma. Friends, trolls. They can access anything on the internet. They can access

anything on the internet. So, should I give my kid a phone? Growing up with phones isn't always

We get lots of email from all over the world. There's one now. What does it say? It's Adam McWelf, and he says, doing a listener email show is just like when a TV program does an episode of clips and flashbacks. What have you run out of ideas? I couldn't agree more, Adam. No one's being lazy. It's just a nice way to acknowledge some of the people who take the time to send email. Well, this one's from Stewie in Ottawa, and he says, right, the old user-generated content excuse. You don't want to write a show so you get

the audience to do it for you very good Stuie you see where he's going here

not true at all but maybe a little Vince in Bristol England get on with it he

says couldn't agree more Vince couldn't agree more but we just couldn't agree more. But we just started!

Ian and Calgary agrees with both of us.

I agree with Vince.

Just get on with it, and I have to say the same, because I got an anniversary to go to or my wife is going to kill me.

Okay, give me a second.

All right!

Roll it.

This is the ongoing history of new music podcast with Alan Cross.

Honestly, though, I get upwards of 100 messages a day.

I read them all, and we try to respond to as many of them as we possibly can.

I mean, really, we do try.

I've also been saving the best ones for a show

some weirdness from the inbox. And again, what you're about to hear are actual messages from

actual people. Now, Sean wants me to say hi to Amanda in Brantford.
