Chillcast Presents: Lovely Ladies On Mixcloud

I thought I’d share my short-lived female-oriented music podcast, Lovely Ladies, with my Mixcloud audience. It’s been many years since these shows were available online. One of the nice things about this show is that I didn’t do any brand sponsorship or run Podshow ads. Another nice thing is that I recorded DJ voiceovers with info about the music as well as my thoughts/feelings about the artists. I kinda miss doing these radio-style shows!

Lovely Ladies #9: Ryan Lum’s Ladies

After a year’s hiatus, the show has returned to celebrate the Lovely Ladies of Ryan Lum! Hee hee. This show has been a long time coming, just like the release of new CDs by two of Ryan’s former collaborators, Suzanne Perry and Jennifer Ryan Wilde. I thought I’d put together a set in honor of we female vocalists that have worked with Ryan for your listening pleasure. As for the future of the show, I’m thinking I can do it monthly, and am already looking forward to the next edition, as I have more great music with female vocalists waiting in the wings…

Got some great feedback last time I shared Lovely Ladies with the Chillcast subscribers, so I couldn’t resist sharing this one, too, particularly since it includes several electronica or crossover electro-pop goodies!

Decided to share this episode with the Chillcast listeners, as well, so a few of you may get this twice. Sorry about that! You know, for months I debated whether it was better to do Chillcast twice a week or start a new show, and I’m still not entirely sure. Lovely Ladies is more on the rock and folk tip, but its generally still pretty “chill”. Anyway, let me know what you think! This episode includes a great guest podcaster spot from Mike O’Hara.

Here’s that 3rd episode I mentioned last week… I am launching a brand new project on March 5th, so that may have some affect on whether Lovely Ladies happens weekly or fortnightly, but I’m having a lot of fun, so I’m sure I’ll keep doing them pretty regularly. Haven’t selected an exact drop day (ie Tuesdays, Thursdays et al) so just keep checking back for more!

My new show is bi-something…


I’m sitting here trying to figure out whether to announce my new podcast, Lovely Ladies, as “biweekly” or “bimonthly” to indicate that it will happen every other week. Looking up both words on the Apple dashboard dictionary is no help at all! Apparently, both words are ambiguous. Biweekly can mean either every other week or twice a week, and bimonthly can mean twice a month or every two months. Drats! Perhaps I should call it “fortnightly”?
