I'd like to thank all the contributors to this podcast for their excellent choices. You have all done the theme proud!
The contrast podcast is having a break over Easter which means that the next one will hopefully be out around the 25th of April or thereabouts. If you would like to be part of it you will need to email tim.young@rhul.ac.uk with your song and spoken intro based on the theme of 'quadruped'. Keep in mind that I'll be away from computers so I won't be responding to messages until at least the 20th of April. See you all then.|W|P|114468233818646863|W|P|003 Perfect Three Minutes|W|P|tim.young@rhul.ac.uk Tim Young|W|P|You're here already Bethanne!!! KJ|W|P|YAYYYYYYY Tim Young|W|P|LOL ..

The theme of the next contrast podcast will be 'perfect three minutes' .. so the only rule is that the song must be as close as possible to three minutes in length. It's that simple. If you would like to contribute email your track and recorded intro (30 seconds to 1 minute in length) to tim.young@rhul.ac.uk.
Keep an eye on the submission counter at the top of this page to see how we are getting on.
See you very soon I'm sure.|W|P|114390722594330821|W|P|002 Me & You|W|P|tim.young@rhul.ac.uk Matt|W|P|love it. again, very excellent to hear everyone's various intros and song choices. KJ|W|P|Tim you win. Well done. KJ|W|P|This comment has been removed by a blog administrator. KJ|W|P|Hey Tim, by the way, what's a Preverbial Press? :o) Just wondering that's all. Tim Young|W|P|sorry .. should have been proverbial .. i have a gremiln in my kayboerd Satisfied '75|W|P|Tim - great job producing these. You inspired me to try my hand at the podcast thing myself. Cheers. |W|P|Excellent.Suggestion: that the playlist also show at what point in the time line the song appear. That a track is #8 doesn't help with location as much as knowing that it begins at 21:07.
