Yes, the podcast episodes just disappeared, didn’t they?
I took the May half-term holiday off, then 2 or 3 scheduled guest interviews got postponed for one reason or another.
I was also VERY busy with paid client work creating an online training course on audio and video editing, as well as a pile of other stuff and I’m sorry to say the podcast just got pushed back in the list of priorities.
So, I was left with no episodes, and no time to organise or record and produce any more at that time.
