In 2014 a 29 year old from Gateshead in the north of England, emboldened by Marc Maron's candour had the misguided thought, 'Why don't I do a podcast?'. Unfortunately, Mark didn't really have a premise, script or point. Fast forward to the present, Mark is cringing about his contribution to the craft of recording yourself talking with absolutely no use, direction nor shame. However, these files exist and capture a time...a time when Mark too fell prey to the raging desire to say things into his phone, as if anyone would ever willingly indulge his soliloquies. He consoles himself that this all happened in 2014 at least; in a time before EVERYONE had a podcast.

In 2014, Mark Hammond of Gateshead in the UK had been enjoying podcasts for a couple of years. He was particularly fond of The Nerdist and Marc Maron's WTF shows. So, being 29 and full of vim and extremely warm air he thought 'EVERYONE will want to hear what I have to say!' Now, everyone has a podcast. Now, Mark is a very, very, very different person and is more than a bit cringe about his contribution to the podcast milieu. However, as a monument to a time before it became de rigueur to record EVERY conversation for public consumption, Mark honours his 29 year old self by re-releasing these glorious little soliloquies back into the wilds of the web.In the inaugural episode, Mark sets the precedent for unscripted, impulsive divulgences as from a tepid bath he reads an excerpt from the novel, 'Stoner'.
