*happy dance*

Thanks greenish for another great episode. Some wee gems here that I'd missed.

Very enthusiastically seconding billiebee. Thanks again for including our recording, greenish.

One suggestion: is it possible to edit podcast episode pages on soundcloud to add their metatalk links? I was reminded today that when the most recent episode ends and the next episode starts playing, I often want to go look at the list of music tracks again without having to search metatalk to find the appropriate prior thread. So it'd be nice to be able to click on the metatalk link from the soundcloud page. If it's too time consuming or difficult to do this with soundcloud (I don't know since I don't have an account there), no worries.

Btw I didn't find the background sounds distracting at all and rather enjoyed your setting of the scene. Also, great timing for when you posted this, because I certainly appreciated the music therapy today.

I also meant to say that it's obvious you put a lot of thought into how to order and transition the songs, and it's noticeable again this time too. Nice work!

Hey thanks rangefinder 1.4! That's really nice of you to say, I do put a bit of thought into it because it's a nice nostalgic throwback moment, to the days where I used to agonise over making the perfect mixtape for a friend :)

Also great idea about adding the MeTa link, I will do that now.

Thank you so much for including me! Really love all the music you've got in this one.

greenish, cool, thanks for adding the metatalk links to soundcloud. And yeah I was in the same boat whenever I made a mixtape back in the day, so I get where you're coming from. This episode of the podcast would have been an excellent side of a 60-minute cassette!

A belated thanks to you greenish for including my track on there. I'm in some stellar company and it is quite an honor.
