The cream of the DTBOI crop in stunning audio futurascape.

A critic has labelled it the winding sinuous flow of a soul on the brink. Twelve minute tales of beguiling wizardry from your local podcast provider on love and loss and going bald replete with sound effects and tunes and film excerpts spliced in and swirling round and peppering the gloaming. From now on I’m self-defining as a soundscape artist.

What could be cooler than that.

Here are tales of crashing and burning at the bar, the philosophy of swilling around in a puddle of your own filth, a majestic jaunt through the dawnearly light, coming to terms with your head as bowling ball, a shady happening on the top deck of a night bus, in-depth analysis of some ropey first dates, going rogue on a 100 mile walk through the Highlands, the seedy underbelly of YouTube addiction, a Legends of The Fall style epic about familial baloney and coming back to Pride Rock, and the hard earnt wisdom of a midlife crisis.
