Hi Jim, finally worked out how to comment 😀

Listened to a couple of the Bench pods whilst cleaning out kitchen cabinets because they were manky and its raining. Having a friendly voice in my ears was just the balance needed. Keep doing what you are doing as its truly brilliant

I understand STRESS and parking. So many hospital appointments with my mum and no place to park.

Having subscribed I listened to my first podcast today. I am grateful that it works as ever. Your delightful tones with a bunch of lovely people just watching and talking about whatever. Loved it.

Listened to you today while sitting in living room, ear pods in, and knitting. (See, I'm remembering to say how am listening to your podcast)

Not sure what enjoyed most about today's "hello you!" But, was a fascinating listen and if I might borrow/amend a phrase, a packed programme today.

Really glad that the signs seem good, following your first new talking therapy appointment, and hope it continues to add a good layer of support for you, Jim.

Started listening whilst walking into town (I’m playing catch up as been on a rare holiday) - I listen in stereo but also on transparent for safety as there’s roads to cross so I have the added extra of distinguishing the real soundscape from the virtual one you provide! Yours actually sounds more real such that I will admit as I climbed up Wyle Cop I was truly expecting you to be actually sitting there - it’s 3rd May now!!

Meanwhile, amongst many other comments and queries I have I’m wondering does John the Sign take requests? Hope to find you on a bench soon when our availability aligns. Karen. (Name at end as no idea what I used for Substack sign up!)
