It's not about the gear: Recent Episodes
Steve Clark
I am trying to get back to more frequent episodes of the show. Today I talk about what my band has been up to, music documentaries and my recent podcasting challenge.
This completes thirty days of daily podcasts over a range of topics. I hope people have enjoyed them. I will try to get onto a regular schedule with my shows about making music.

I have been pondering my mortality and thinking about how I could enable others to access my cryptocurrency when I am gone. What are others doing?

My band, Swing 42, were playing for some swing dancers today. That was fun. You can find a post about it on my Hive account https://peakd.com/@steevc/posts
I thought I had lost this recording as the Podomatic recording app froze, but it was saved. Today I talk about Linux.
Into the last third of #NaPodPoMo. Today I talk about my first run in a while, my musical exploits and other things I am up to.
This was recorded on my walk home after volunteering at parkrun, so I talk about that. It is a great event that most people could join in with.
Today I talk about how I used Python to extract some data from Hive blockchain for a post I have been wanting to do.
Today I talk about a medical condition I have had for a few years. Nothing too gruesome.
Pondering what it means to go viral and make it big. How much will you risk to achieve your dream?
Went to see No Time To Die last night. I talk about it in the show, but there are spoilers. If you have not seen it then I recommend it.
Still getting over my bug, but excited to attend Hivefest again in a virtual world. Met lots of old friends there as well as attending some presentations.
My 11th day of NaPodPoMo daily podcasts. Over a third of the way now. This is a bit of a rambling update.
Slightly frustrating morning with illness and technical issues. Trying to get set up for the virtual Hivefest event at the weekend.
This was recorded whilst out on my morning run, but it is about the comedy gig we went to last night.
I just started paying for Podomatic as I was running low on space.
Some thoughts and hopes for the COP26 conference. The world is in a perilous state and we need the politicians who are brave enough to take the necessary action.
Today I talk about how I generate a monthly list of Brits on the Hive blockchain using Python.
Today I talk about podcasting and how it has been part of my life for a couple of decades. I went from listener to creator.
This is part of National Podcast Posting Month.

I had a question from podcaster Dave Lee (@thelovebug) about what Hive is as I mentioned it previously. In this episode I attempt to answer that. This was recorded using my headset on my walk to the station so there is a lot of traffic and other noise. I hope the message still comes across.
This is my first interview show where I talk to my musical collaborator Danielle Murray. We met at her house to chat and play some tunes.
Danielle has some tunes on Bandcamp https://mldaniellem.bandcamp.com/releases
and videos on Youtube, some featuring me https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB0ALC4tjx-jzZHnbbiaDYA
Our duo has a Soundcloud channel https://soundcloud.com/swing47
Day 2 of the National Podcast Post Month challenge and this was recorded on my phone in Easy Voice Recorder via my AfterShokz bone conduction headphones whilst out for my morning run.
As a change from my normal, erratic output I am taking part of this challenge to produce a podcast each day of November. This is an short introduction. I will have more coming up, including a new proper episode of It's Not About The Gear. I will be writing more about the challenge on Hive https://peakd.com/@steevc/posts
I have another track from my album with talk about finding things to record for a weekly video, my adventures in drumming and a guitar upgrade.
I am looking for contributions of music and articles for the show. Please get in touch.
I talk about what has happened over the last year since I recorded episode 14, but this is largely about my debut album and includes several tracks from it.
A new song and a new guitar! I talk about both. Also some thoughts on 'aha!' moments in my guitar journey. I finish with an excellent cover of a song I wrote.
I guest on one track and write another.
Talk about a guitar show and writing songs.

I talk about more Bowie events, whether we need the latest gear, guitar shows, pub sessions and on-line song contests.
I'll be posting this on Steemit, where it may earn me something.
