Hey Caroline and Dave,
just discovered your podcast and saw you used my music. That’s awesome! I‘m Square a Saw, aka. Martin Ruhland from Aachen.
By the way, your pronunciation of Ruhland was very close. It‘s actually ˈruːlant 😅 “Roo-Lunt” or something like that 😂
You definitely have a new listener now 😌
Love from Aachen
Sammy Vulcano here. You’ve played several of my original songs on The Bugcast (including most recently “Cinderella, Lets Go dance”) and I am writing to thank you for listening to and playing my songs. Keep up the good work!
