Hello, trash future listeners. We have all had scheduling conflicts, and as a result, we're

unlocking a bonus episode for this week's free one. But it's a very fun episode featuring

Lauren Walker from Batting Around, and we hope you enjoy it. Also, a few plugs up front. First,

you may have heard that No Gods, No Mayors will be performing live at Big Belly Comedy in London

on 25th and 26th April.

There's a link in this episode's description where you can get tickets.

And they're going fast, so definitely check that out if you're interested.

In addition, Milo is currently on tour in Australia, and you can get tickets to all of his shows down there via the link that's also in the description.

And finally, I've got

some plugs. First, Lions Led by Donkeys will be performing on 29th May at Rich Mix in London. There's a link

in the show notes, again, where you can get tickets. And in addition to this, my band,

Second Homes, just started pre-sales on our debut album on Bandcamp. It was produced by Friend of the Show

and Bottlement alumnus Dan Beckner,

and there's a link in the description where you can check it out.

We'll be back on the bonus feed with a new episode in just a few days,

and there'll be a new free episode next Tuesday.

Thanks for being a listener.

Thanks for your patience.

And have a good one.
