I genuinely had no intention of blogging on 1 January 2016. But things changed as a result of my investing in a new laptop to replace what had been a faithful 10-year old PC that was no longer fit for purpose. The old PC wasn’t great at doing anything beyond the most basic of operations and things I wanted to bring to the blog were proving beyond it.
Radio 236 (named after the number of the house I live in) is launching today. It’s basically a podcast without words and as I learn how to do things better with the new programmes available to me then it will improve. Episode 1 contains 14 songs in just under 53 minutes.

THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Happy new one JC.
This is a great addition to an already fantastic blog.
Happy new year all! As well as trying to lose weight, change jobs, defeat scammers, save the honeybee, run a marathon, build a thing that goes round and round, redecorate, write a book, and at some point actually get around to watching “Bambi”, I am also starting a blog. Usual thing, click on my name. (I really must think about a better screen name this year too.)
What a cracking idea! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!
This looks great, JC. Gotta keep it exciting, Not for us, of course. We love this place. I’m sure this is a healthy addition for you too. Happy new year to you and Mrs. Villain! Thanks for all of your efforts. Off to listen now.
Very excited to listen!!
Good luck with your new venture. There’s some cracking stuff on your first show.
