(I edited down the internal intro music, as they were way too long in hindsight, but as I've said in the episode, it was an experiment, left the original ep up, just in case you like long intro music).

Within the episode, which spans just over one hour and eight minutes.

 you'll find all the regulars, mogs musings, the bakers dozen and, So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Also returning is calming corner.

The self penned poems by yours truly here, also return.

  Actually, I've created a section for poems, called Poetic Licence.

So, if you fancy sending in your prose, please do.

I've also messed about with ai, big style this time, well, go big or go home huh?

I've created individual section music, basically. As well as changed the intro music this time.

Until the next time, when we return to service as usual, with an episode Re-educating Rita,  I bid you all adieu

Stay happy, stay safe, and above all - stay funky

Mentions of suicide, feelings of abject despair, feelings of loss, mentions of depression.

Okay, so this is the one single episode I didn't want to write, but its a milestone episode, for a milestone in this podcast. Its 12 months since I properly began Spellboundish.

Its not your usual episode, it deals with the loss of my biological daughter, Emma Jane. Its been tough to put together, it contains none of the usual items, its just 'that' chapter of the audio book,  and an hour of calming, tranquil sounds, in the hope afterwards, if you listen to the audio book chapter, you can decompress and move on.

The events in the audio book chapter happened some 32 years ago, so I'm out of the other side so to speak, but its quite a painful moment in my life if I'm honest, but I'm hoping by commiting my words to this deeply painful chapter of my life, I can begin to heal and let it go...

But please, I urge you, if your in despair with your life right now, please don't listen, give it a swerve.

Much love, John x

Within the episode, which spans just over 1 hr 17 minutes this time.., are the regulars; mogs musings, the bakers dozen and the last lap, also returning is calming corner.

New this ep is a possible one off entitled I've got beef! Plus a bonus for your delight, named beyond the drawing board.

I'm trying out time indents this time, per feature too.

Episide contents:

Mogs musings, the editorial. 01:16 - 22:17

With a little help from my friends, coping strategies. 22:22 - 25:54

I'm back with a proverbial bang. Occam's Razor features all the usual things. Such as mogs musings, which is, as regular listeners will know, the editorial. 

Also back is; with a little help from my friends, the coping strategy feature.  

Plus, new to the podcast this time is the long promised, debut feature of relaxing sounds, I've named calming corner. 

Returning also is the bakers dozen, the recipe section.

Rounding off this offering is, as per usual the last lap, the closing of this podcast episode. And my final thoughts on things I've mused about within it.

Its again voiced entirely by ai, but still scripted by me. I've opted for a new ai voice, that's very chilled and calming.

The episode run time is around 56 minutes this time, yes its a bit of an epic, but hopefully its all thriller and no filler for you.

I'm very, very proud of what I've created for you this time. May you enjoy.

Mogs musings, aka the editorial, I muse gently about my getting another bowel cancer screening kit among other things.

The final part of 1984 and beyond, the audio chapter from the book Spellboundish.

Also the now regular feature of, with a little help from my friends, concerning coping strategies.

Plus, for the hopeful delight of your ears, there are two new features this ep.

One being, Tales from the riverbank, the debut of a potential gem of an item concerning angling, a lovely way to relax and de-stress.

The other, which will be a roll over type feature, episide to episide is about home baking, wittingly entitled The bakers dozen.

There is also another brief dip into the podcasts canine newshound, yes Buster's bits returns.

Lastly,  the closing episode statement now firmly entitled the last lap.

This episide is once more voiced entirely by ai... enjoy again not having to listen to my voice 😆

Plus another chance to hear the poem, broken crayons still colour. 

Lastly the closing episide statement now entitled the last lap.

The twist this episide is.., its voiced entirely by ai... enjoy not listening to my voice! 😉

 This episode is a reflective, candid, and emotionally charged installment where I open up about the podcast’s history, personal struggles, coping mechanisms, and future plans. The episode consists of an editorial section (“Mogs musings”), a poem, a discussion on coping strategies (“With a little help from my friends”), and a closing epilogue. May you enjoy.

Spellboundish's tone is always optimistic, reflective and personal, blending editorial musings, storytelling, listener interaction and serialised content.

Enjoy.

Or, if your unable to, please please share.

Just to advise, this ep's a bit pants, but the podcast has evolved over time, stick with it and listen to some later episodes 😉

(Sorry about the audio, but it's a benchmark for improvement)

And, as I've upgraded these early episodes to mp3 format, the download counter has reset, I do have listeners 😉

Also, stick with the episodes, it gets better I promise 😂
