Episode Seven

 Episode Seven is a little whimsical, wishing and wondering and tea.

I Live In San Francisco and Mug Shot, aspects of romance, a city and a sliding door.

If you have anything to say about the show feel free to get in touch, via the e mail address below or the comments section on this page. The Laird and Musetrap would love to hear from you. Well, The Laird will feign indifference, but be interested despite himself, and Musetrap is in retreat in Bhutan, so he’ll catch up eventually, but philosophically, and in the long term, they’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for supporting this independent podcast.

Episode Six

 Episode Six, When You Aren’t Afraid, has been released. 

This one is more groove based than previous episodes, with some light hearted, cliché ridden chat about fear. The tag line, a podcast of music and words, is a genuine aim of the show, to present a blend of sounds that create a whole, never just words with some background music. 

May you enjoy this weeks offering in good spirit, and with stout heart.

Support Musetrap And The Laird


Your regular contribution will help to pay for hosting fees and recording equipment. There’s no offer of stickers or extra episodes, the hope is that the support of some will keep the show free for all.

The Laird, speaking from a village fete, asked you all to imagine a nice old lady has asked you to subscribe to the local church roof fund. Musetrap, enjoying the last of summer whilst dining on a floating restaurant on the Danube, assures you all your money will be well spent.

Musetrap said of this episode, “sifting sand will mostly go unrewarded, just like doing good deeds”, and The Laird was too busy hiring sand sifters to speak to anyone.

Episode Four

 Episode Four is about to be released, in your feed by Sunday morning your time. Cue Dancing Girls and Every Step, a bit of death and life from different angles. 

At this stage the podcast will be published fortnightly, but keep an eye out for bonus episodes on the other weeks. The long term aim is to publish every week, but that step won’t be taken until it can be done consistently and well. 

Your feedback is always welcome, in comments here or via e mail, musetrapandthelaird@gmail.com. For PayPal donations the same address will find the show. 

Ratings and reviews on the sites where you listen make a massive difference to getting the show seen. A joint press release from The Laird and Musetrap included the words, “aw, go on, do us a solid”, when referring to rating and reviewing, and, “do it or don’t do it, just do what feels natural for you”. 

Thank you for listening to this independent podcast, your support is appreciated.

Rise

 Did you know that 90% of podcasts cease after three or fewer episodes? This is reported as fact in a number of places, so it’s probably not true, but most shows do stop before they’ve really begun. 

This weekend Musetrap And The Laird will break the three episode barrier by releasing episode four, propelling them into the top 10% of all podcasts. The Laird and Musetrap are unburdened by expectations of success, so they are bewildered by this overnight fame and fortune. Musetrap was hard to track down for comment, but did provide a statement from an unknown location, expressing his joy and love for all people and a request for a lawyer. The Laird claimed that all success and failure were best seen through the prism of sheep on remote islands adapted to eating seaweed knowing which way the tide is running.

Thank you again for listening to this independent podcast.
