Delighted to welcome my old blogging compatriot Alex Marsh to our latest blast of podcast wibble.

The podcast returns - and as Trevor A. Broadbank @DjTrevUK says towards the end of our seemingly endless Cars chart legitimacy ding-dong, can you tell we've not spoken to each other for six months?

It’s been a while, but the podcast is BACK…

NEW EPISODE: Preposterous pop and global mega-smashes abound, as we tackle a nursery rhyme twist, a Beethoven/Berry mashup, globetrotting accountants, a toast/knife trade-off, a battle rapping brat and a wazzock who may just be a genius.

In which I am roasted - roasted, I tell you! - by Nick Parkhouse and Trevor A. Broadbank @DjTrevUK for my Partridge-like stance on The Style Council.

And the roastings continue, this time for missing a trick when Gaga came a-calling…

Here's a live recording of my set from last night at Six Poor Folk ; close your eyes and you're almost there! mixcloud.com/miketd/strut-y…

Contains exciting autobiographical revelations concerning to whom I sold what, in Hamleys toy shop, in 1980. At last, the truth can be told!

Also gives me a reason to trot out two of my "when I met the stars" stories, plus there's bonus San Marino Eurovision heats content, and a heartwarming vignette of our early courtship days.

*coughs discreetly* - this book has been a long, long time coming, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Saw an advance copy of this book, edited by Mike Atkinson, whose stepfather James Hamilton was, the other day, and can't wait to read it. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of soul and disco DJing in the UK and beyond. And a beautifully produced book.

Very pleased to receive this book from Greg Wilson - James Hamilton’s Record Mirror Disco columns between June 1975 and Dec 1982. A UK equivalent of Vince Aletti’s brilliant Disco File: Hamilton is thorough, eclectic, and totally tuned into the dance floor

WHO WAS JAMES HAMILTON? If you’re a DJ/dance music enthusiast, under 50 years of age, it’s likely you’ve never come across the name James Hamilton, yet the dance culture we now take for granted simply wouldn’t have unfolded in the way it did without him. mixcloud.com/gregwilson/who…

After 18 years here (the first 10 of them active, the last 8 mostly dormant), I'm checking out - but the podcast lives on at bsky.app/profile/whichd…. See you around. xx
