And in film podcast news...
This is my mate Johnny Andrews – Johnny be good. Mancunian in Howick. He produces the brilliant My Movie DNA podcast about the cinematic experience and it was a real pleasure to be his guest.
Here’s Johnny post: The new episode of My Movie DNA is now available with EAST FM 88.1 107.1 DJ, quizmaster and journalist Phil Taylor. Lots of music chat in this one as we cover nearly every music-related film under the sun!
