A few weeks ago as an experiment I started a new Podcast, The Diary of a middle aged man. I have been mulling over in my mind whether or not I need 2 podcast or whether it should just be an all in one offering. The Allycast is a great love of mine, I love your messages, I love how my guests have inspired you and I feel that as it is my true love I should focus on just this area. So I am going to amalgamate the 2 podcasts and will put regular Diary episodes on the The Allycast. I will upload the previously recorded episodes today to the Allycast and all future episodes will be uploaded to make the Allycast bigger and better Hosted on Acast.
