On at 12 every Monday and Thursday only on @RadioBigSky and I’d be delighted if you could join me 💥

I love radio. Listening and also producing. And I love making podcasts with real people telling real stories. You can find me on www.dctaudio.co.uk and I’d be delighted if you could join me 🌱

I have done a very scary thing. At the end of play yesterday, I handed in my notice to a very well paid job and one I enjoyed, one I was highly thought of in order to pursue a career in sound production. An industry that is saturated with people just like me. Wish me luck 🍀 youtu.be/gRdYv7g0r0A?...

💥PODCAST ALERT💥 I’m delighted to say that my latest podcast on Police Wellbeing is now available to download. In this episode I talk with Canadian Police Officer Lana Boland Lana has been diagnosed with both ADHD and PTSD. audioboom.com/posts/885658...

I’m delighted to upload a podcast with experienced journalist @nickgarnett.bsky.social who kindly donated his time to. A pioneer of mobile journalism, we talk about how the effect of the many tragedies he has had to report on and how it affected his wellbeing. audioboom.com/posts/884471...

@imcmillan.bsky.social Help me out here please. My wife has today baked the most wonderful fruit cake. I said it would be lovely with some custard. She said that in Yorkshire it would be eaten with cheese. Is this correct?

As you grow older, you begin to understand: your father was just a man trying his best with what he knew. Forgive him. He was living life for the first time, too. 🌱

As @imcmillan.bsky.social is new to @bsky.app here is a lovely little podcast I did with him a while back. He talks about his family, his love of poetry and a talking parrot. 🌱 audioboom.com/posts/829055...

Doing some radio stuff

I’m looking forward to this

@imcmillan.bsky.social when are you next at Darfield Ian

After ten years of doing a podcast, finally I’ve gotten some professional recognition from leading police magazine Police Oracle. www.policeoracle.com/article-libr...

I have now finished Lana Boland’s book AFTERSHOT. After all it’s only fair to read it before you interview the person herself. I’m really looking forward to this interview as part of my mini series on police wellbeing 🌱 #policewellbeing

New branding for an established podcast

@imcmillan.bsky.social Welcome to a slightly saner side of social media

There is no one sat around the podcast table this week ☹️

💥LATEST PODCAST OUT NOW💥 In this episode I chat to Bobby Sharma, the man behind the social media personality Yorkshire Indian. Bobby was born and bred in Leeds to Indian parents. That multi cultural upbringing would later provide the inspiration for Yorkshire Indian. audioboom.com/posts/880680...

My name is Dave Thomas and I am a retired police Officer. I spent nearly 30 years policing the streets of Lancashire. After a decade on roads policing, I went into the detective arena The skills I learnt as a police officer continue to serve me well to this day. dctaudio.co.uk

💥LATEST PODCAST OUT NOW💥 In this episode I talk with DCI Lee Wilson who led a recent murder investigation. It is a fascinating insight into the life of a Senior Investigating Officer within a Homecide squad. audioboom.com/posts/880631...

Finally settled on branding I am happy with. Don’t overthink it they say. Keep it simple. Same quality content 🌱 dctaudio.co.uk

I remember once Alan Watts saying that the universe is using your eyes to look back at itself. That is so beautiful 🌱 #Universe #alanwatts

It was a sad but necessary pleasure to sit down with @dctaudio.bsky.social and Richard Horton last month and talk about police mental health and suicide. A difficult topic, but in need of airing given awful, recent events. You hear the first 10-minute taster here - audioboom.com/posts/876396...

@alexisconran.com apologies for confusing you with Hugo. 💥

I’m busy at the moment putting together a mini podcast series on the rising rates of police suicide. Currently editing the first episode that I recorded with @iofiv.bsky.social and @mentalhealthcop.bsky.social I’ve made some artwork for the series that I am finally happy with. Watch this space 💥

Certainly not being paid for this. I have to say the @Sontronics podcast pro microphones are great for mobile work. Great noice reduction, lightweight and brilliant build quality. What’s more they are a British product. This is my set up for travelling to important interviews.
