Hello again....

It's been awhile, but I have resumed uploading shows to Mixcloud, the latest of which is OR9, originally aired in January, 2010 and a doozy, if I do say so myself.

Currently, I am on the lookout for a new home for Odd Girl Out, which I would like to air live monthly, so if you know of any London-based web stations with a studio, do let me know.

Shows on Mixcloud

I have been posting old Odd Girl Out shows to my Mixcloud account for awhile now.

Currently residing there are three shows I did over the summer, as well as the first eight shows I did on Optical in 2009. Something for your holiday listening!

Odd Girl Out podcast 9

This edition of the podcast features an interview with filmmaker Kate Hardie, as well as music from Jude Cowan Montague.

Odd Girl Out podcast 8

As I have less time to do podcasts now, I am doing mini versions, and this one is dedicated to the Music and Liberation exhibit currently touring the UK, featuring music from the companion CD and a chat with curator Dr. Deborah Withers

Odd Girl Out podcast 7

My three live shows over the summer meant no podcasts, but I am back with a bang with this edition, featuring: my visit to the Whitstable Biennale to meet director Sue Jones; the E17 Art Trail to chat with Auntie Maureen and Catherine; plus a Skype call with Club des Femmes' Selina Robertson.

Odd Girl Out: RR1

This was last week's My Summer special on Radeq Radio's Summer of '12 series. I was meant to broadcast up to sunset at 19:49, but it actually stopped at 19:40. Nonetheless, I managed to cram in some field recordings, Pussy Riot trial testimony and loads of summer- and sun-themed music. I will upload the recording once it's edited.

This Thursday live on Summer of '12

This Thursday evening I shall be doing an experimental Odd Girl Out show live from Sound Fjord as part of radeq's Summer of '12 series. I shall be broadcasting from 18:30 BST to sunset, before the station hands over to New Zealand!

Very much looking forward to it, and I have been busy compiling, editing, and digitising field recordings from my travels this summer for the occasion. Will also be playing summer- and sun-themed music (with a sprinkling of rain--this is Britain!).
