First off: huge welcome to all the new subscribers! I’m thrilled you’ve joined the Hello You family. (If you subscribed after my last newsletter, which was all photographs, then this might seem a bit odd, but buckle up and go with it? It’ll be worth it, I promise.) I hope you enjoy what I do - audio, podcasts, photography, trying the make the world a better place - and I really hope you’ll share it with your friends, family, colleagues, members of your WhatsApp chat, others in your faith community, your board games club, wherever you hang out.
And if you’re new to Hello You and/or my Substack, or if you’ve been with me for all thirty of the previous podcasts and the other stuff too, can I ask you to do something for me?
At the top of each newsletter, and at the foot of each one too, there’s a little heart with the work LIKE next to it. Could you please click on the heart, each time I send you an email?
Two reasons: It gives me the same kind of dopamine hit as being smiled at by an attractive stranger in a bar does (or might do, let’s be realistic here). And, apparently the magic of technology means that the more heart-clicks I get, the more likely this is to be noised abroad, as the ancients said. It’ll get recommended to more people, it’ll appear in front of more eyes so Hello You will find its way into more ears.
So, what’s cued up for you today?
Well, I’ve not done a simple soundscape for a while, so I thought it was time I did.
