First US Review

 Because Apple is set up regionally it’s difficult to see reviews from other countries. The first review from a US listener just came to the attention of The Laird and Musetrap, they offer their thanks to Magzgagz.

Great little nuggets of words and music

I love these gems of short stories and music. Somehow they manage to be intriguing, humorous, profound, and soothing all at the same time. And 5 minutes is just right for my attention span.

Following the podcast, writing a review and clicking on a five star rating makes a huge difference to the visibility of the show for other people. Independent productions can disappear in the crowd, every rating on every site helps. Thanks to all who have helped to get Musetrap And The Laird up and running.

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.

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.

First Reviews

 The first Musetrap And The Laird reviews on Apple Podcasts are in. Thank you both, you are appreciated. Every rating and review triggers the Apple algorithm and helps to make the show easier to find for others. Apple sorts reviews by region, The Laird and Musetrap are still trying to work out how to view yours if you are in a different region to them.

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.
