The Flat Chat Wrap podcasts have just notched their 12,000th listen, which feels pretty amazing from this side of the microphone.
If you haven’t heard one already, just go HERE, choose an episode and click on “Listen Now” – you don’t need any special equipment … it should play straight on your computer, tablet or phone.
All that’s lacking from our point of view is your feedback. What do you like, and what gets your teeth grinding? Do you want to hear more people in the industry, or fewer. Less JimmyT and more Sue Williams?
Or is it the little musical stings that drive you nuts or fill your heart with joy?
Is there something you would like us to talk about or a topic that you’ve heard more than enough about already?
Please let us know … we do this for you guys and it would be great to hear what we can do to make it better.
Just hit reply and let us know what you’re thinking.

Hi, thanks for asking, and appreciate mega response to well thought out podcasts and ideas.
Just that plain reading is fine and sufficient here, as a bit busy for added entertainment.
Best regards
What do I love? The length, about 20-25 minutes is perfect for listening on the train or at home while preparing dinner etc.
I appreciate the serious matters and the appropriate humour. The in depth coverage of important matters means that they can be fully understood.
Sorry Jimmy, but I don’t listen to your podcasts because they are, well podcasts! (I don’t listen to any other podcasts either). Being a podcast means I have to listen to the whole thing, even those bits that don’t interest me. With a written piece I can skim read and just slow down and read the bits I want. I can get through a written piece in less than half the time of a podcast. But hey, that’s just me. As my American friends say, YMMV (YKMV just doesn’t have the same ring to it!)
Since you ask, the musical stings neither annoy nor delight me. I don’t think they are really needed but they don’t bother me either.
The podcasts I often listen to are science or philosophy related ones from ABC Radio National and these: https://reneweconomy.com.au/series/podcasts/
Lol. No-one has ever called me “hip”, “wired” or “connected”. I don’t use Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. So “old fashioned” may be a more appropriate description of me.
Think of “Podcasts” as “radio on demand” and it’s all a lot less daunting
Hi Jimmy,
I’m afraid that I’m with “Woodg62”. I don’t listen to any podcasts either. But, I appreciate all the effort that goes into making them.
I wonder though, with all this modern technology we have today, would it be possible for you to use voice-to-text software and put up a written version of a podcast? That way I can skip etc the bits that don’t interest me and focus on those that are. I don’t mind getting the odd-ball conversion that you sometimes get with this process – could provide the occasional chuckle that you can get from watching TV’s live captions.
Thanks again for all the work you put into Flat Chat.
Phil
