Episode 39

Big river

W/C 5th October 2026

The title choice this week isn't some form of play on words, or sentiment inspired by one of the topics I am talking about. It's far more literal than that.

The song itself came out in 1995, which is significant because at that point I was living in the north east and just a few miles from the river in question.

It's a great song, and it sums up perfectly both the place itself, and the strength of character of the people I met there. I still believe that any day that you get to see the Tyne bridge, or walk along that river, is a good day.

Stay safe.

Big River - Jimmy Nail

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

I have been tinkering with audio since my mid-teens, recording songs & producing content for friends.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.

After 20 years or so, I took a sideways step into podcasting and began a venture called ashortstories, which helps in the development & production of podcasts for anyone that has a story to tell.
