An Origin Story

I'm now half way through production of Season 12, which I hope to begin releasing to you by the end of November. In the meantime, here is a bonus for you. It's a recording of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago, inspired by a painting by my then 14 year old granddaughter, Natalie Kennedy. It was performed earlier this year at an event in Liverpool involving poets and jazz musicians improvising along with them. So many people came up after the performance and asked if there was a recording of it, that I decided to go ahead and make one. So Pablo Sonaillon (double bass), Alex McDowall (guitar) and I headed to Crosstown Studios where the fabulous Jon Lawton recorded and mixed it for us. I do hope you enjoy it. Our crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to pay the professional voice actors for Season 12 can be reached at https://crowdfundr.com/aioySeason12. If you've been enjoying the show, I hope you appreciate just how wonderful these artists are, and how grateful we all are that they've been providing many voices over the past 4 years voluntarily. Just because they love the podcast. We'll be most grateful if you can donate, and also, if you would share the link as far and wide as you can. Thank you. Thanks to Fable and Folly for their support.
