Manic Street Speakers Podcast

[framedadolescence]

Good evening everyone!

Just to let you know that me and my friend Emma have started a new podcast this week. As a background to it, the idea was formed over a year ago but many life dramas meant it didn't happen in 2019. The purpose of the pod is not to supply an in depth critical analysis pf the band and their work but to act as a place for fans to come and share their stories and views. We want it to be about the feeling and emotion that the band give us the fans. We want it to be a safe place where we can geek out about B-sides, shows and fandom in-jokes. We would love a wide variety of contributions from fans telling their unique experiences. We have lots of plans and ideas in the pipeline.

Yes, we are aware of the Do You Love Us podcast and when I first heard about it I was gutted but having listened to their first episode (I will catch up with them all) a couple of months ago I was relieved to find out it's a different take to what we want from ours.

Lastly, after the presence of a troll on twitter one day after episode 1 was published can I please ask that any criticism is constructive. We are more than happy to take on suggestions as well. I am not a natural public speaker and it's my first time doing something like this. The first show is rough but with more experience it will get better and hopefully develop into something lovely. My love of the band is what drives me to do it. Plus, the more contributions we can get from the listeners the less there'll be of us waffling on!

Thank you.

Michael.

I don't know why I signed this off like a letter.
