Goodbye, for now.
It's not a midweek extra episode, I'm afraid, folks.
As you'll hear, I've loved every single second of running Bold as Brass Podcast. I've made great friends, professional connections, and kept myself busy when things were tough (looking at you, Covid).
Running it as a one-person operation around work and trying to exist as a human is becoming too difficult and, after some painstaking consideration, it's time to pause production.
I'm not sure it'll be forever. Heck, I'm not sure I want it to be forever. But it's got to be for now.
All content will stay live. Please continue to share and listen back; there are some gems in there (from guests, not me).
Thanks for the support. Bold as Brass, out (for now). Melissa x -

Great variety!
Interesting conversations with a huge variety of brass musicians from different genres. There's definitely something for everyone and it's nice to see positive things generated from the pandemic!
Non musician
As a non musician I found these both informative and amusing 😊 The range of chat was serious, funny, encouraging and inspiring - a very enjoyable way to while away some time - already looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Well worth listening
