Solo pod today... thoughts on the developing situation over at Bandcamp, both on the platform itself and its position in the ecosystem.

I read a whole load of stuff so you don't have to:

If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - "Solidarity" for $4 a month, which features regular bonus podcasts and extra content. And "Musicality" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else.

Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation there in the public channels, so please do!

Listen to all (most of) the music discussed on the show via the Not A Diving Podcast Spotify playlist
