argh. after living in Portland for 1 year i had to turn off after he said "antifa doesnt exist". It was almost as if he was just dying to get that into the convo. shame. im still a beginner and was keen on this until i heard that. cant respectbsomeones opinion if it that's 1 sided and delusional. cheers to all your other podcasts and website mate. all very solid. so happy to see you kick on. you deserve it. and i love seeing proper techno on play on your reviews. cheers. ed

I think ultimately the CD quality is good enough. What has to be improved is the sound engineering and the recording phase.

I also think location is a key component to Zeppelin & Co success. Sim Lim Square is an international 'tech' draw card. Massive/bustling foot traffic- where people might like the timeout of coffee and a sit down.

Ep 19. - Great conversation. I can't help but think but most, if not all, are stumbling their way through social media strategy - even the 'experts'.
