So not to get too hyped, Halloween show is ready to drop, a second episode is being readied and I’ve started sketching out music ideas for the 4th.

Dec will be the traditional Dark Side Christmas

Hi everyone! Update time (I know some of you are probably getting tired of these but this might actually be the last one).

So Halloween season is upon us and there's no way I was going to let that go so there will be an episode for Halloween and it's going to be a bit of a longer one as a thank you to the few of you who are left. Links will be posted here.

As for the future, there is an idea percolating for a new home that would also serve other musical tastes. There has been a little talk and there's a couple of meetings on the way.

It will not be terrestrial radio... for now.

In the meantime, if you are interested, I've been doing a music based podcast called Listen to This on the True North Nerds patreon. LTT is myself and fellow music nerd Alex (from comPosers) talking about our love of music in all genres.

3 bucks a month at patreon.com/truenorthnerds gets you access to all episodes but if you want to try it out, here's a free one:

See you in a month!

Surprise! This is episode 1 of Listen to This!, an all-new, Patreon exclusive show from comPOSERS and the True North Nerds Network. Once a month, Brent (TNN) and Alex (comPOSERS)will sit down and talk

Hello there! Been a while. Sorry for the lack of updates but I've been trying to figure out things mainly a home that was under my own control.

This is not a slight on Black Donnelly Media by any stretch. They were very good to this show when it counted and I'm incredibly thankful for that.

I just kind of want my own home for this show. The problem with a collective is you want to not step on anyone toes in terms of what you're playing etc. I also, personally, felt like I had to be on a rigid schedule and my life doesn't really allow for that at the moment. I want to make a show somewhat regularly but also don't want to have to do it if I honestly don't have the time.

I also want it to be legal which, in the online world in Canada, is harder than you may think.

Mixcloud is still an option on my own but here's the thing. On the free tier, I can have a total of 10 shows up. Which means there would be no archive. I'm honestly not sure if that would really affect you listeners much. The alternative would be a paid account which isn't really in the cards right now. I also find the wording on Mixcloud's copyright clearance to be dubious.

The other option is Twitch. Twitch is launching a new DJ service that makes it 100% legal and free (if I'm not an affiliate) but it also means I might have to figure stuff out from a technical side.

So... any of you folks have any opinions or ideas? Let me know in the comments. I feel that I will relaunch in late July early August as a target.
