Centuries of Sound is something I make because I just love making it, so naturally I’m always happy to talk about it. If you have a podcast or are writing an article, I’m almost certainly happy to speak with you, whether it’s about the show, music, history, music history, film, travel, almost anything, just not business/hustling/monetization, which I know nothing about and have nothing interesting to say about. If you are an amateur operation, that’s fine, I don’t need paying – if you are a larger organisation and are in the habit of paying your guests, then obviously that’s different. The best way to get in touch with me is to send an email to james at centuriesofsound dot com.
