This shitty meme I made won’t always be relative to the eventual root cause but 99% of the time is enough reason to use it.

Every week when I check Apple Podcasts to see if the new episode has reached there yet, I feel enraged that they purged the reviews multiple times.
A podcast that has been consistently uploaded every week since January 2018 only shows 4 reviews because they delete ratings and reviews willy nilly.

I surprised myself by just spending my entire evening and night working on the episode and got it out early. Incentivized by the need to get next week's episode early due to work travel for AppManagEvent and a customer visit.

9.99 to stream the Shels match. I can see Shels supporters paying that but not a chance most other LOI supporters will.

I watched The Miami Showband Massacre documentary last night on Netflix. A few weeks ago, I read Four Shots in the Night by Henry Hemming. Both pieces of work are worth a look and highlight how grim the situation in Ireland was and continued to be until just a few years ago really.

Recording the next episode of the podcast! Hope to have it out tomorrow or Friday. 🎧
As an aside, I tried using ChatGPT to help generate the script this week and it failed miserably. The hard graft of scripting, recording, editing and publishing continues.

The host really tempted fate when asking who would be travelling to Galway after Salthill Devon's name was drawn. Maybe it can be played in Eamonn Deacy Park with Salthill as the home club?

Buzzing that I won the @loicentral.bsky.social quiz this week. Looks like Galway United play Pat's in September. Perfect occasion for a trip to Rascals brewery.

Got to see Joe Bonamassa perform a Rory Gallagher Irish Tour ‘74 setlist with my good friend Sean this week down in Cork. It was an incredible show and good for the soul. 🎸
