This podcast was recorded at the fantastic Secret Kingdoms bookshop, as part of our bookshop/podcast series.
We got our chat on with Carlos, who gave us insights into a coach's winning mentality and the ethos underpinning his basketball teams. Off the court, he is a budding journalist who shared his thoughts on Tik Tok and press freedom.
Check out the basketball website here, where you can even sign-up and play. Their contact information can be found via this link, and be sure to search for Singer Basket on social media.

S9 Ep30: A.I. Made this Podcast!

Yes, yes, we jumped on the bandwagon and did what everybody else is doing.
We asked Chat GPT to give us three ideas for a podcast, and it was duly delivered. So, we are talking about the future, hidden stories, and architecture. As a result, we get to talk about wickedly bad design, war, and the inevitable end of our species.
As an antidote to cold machinery, we recorded this episode in a park, and at the 40-minute mark, we allow a few seconds of bird-twittering soundscape (nod to the last pod) to wash over us.
Good times.
Music: Flute Fleet by Poddington Bear, Hope by Life Saturation, and Circles by Mr. Smith.
