Hello all, and welcome to this SMALL BUT MIGHTY edition of the newsletter - let's get started!

GIGS TO COME

DATA AND DOCTOR DOOM - THE PODCAST
The first episode of the podcast version of 'Data and Doctor Doom' is out NOW! It's a five-part series using new songs (by me), old jokes, and evidence-based data analysis to tell you who he is, how transmedia characters work, and why that matters. It's available wherever you get your podcasts and also HERE: https://dataanddoctordoom.podbean.com/

This has been a massive job of work and I think it's unlike anything else out there, so I'd be very grateful if you could have a listen, and even more grateful if you could tell other people about it too!

PIANO ALBUM
Chris and I are currently booking a tour which we should be announcing soon, along with a new website, new single, and a whole new name - more news on all this next time!
