Surreal Noir: Ep1 on YouTube!
I’m finally in the Noirvember spirit! It’s been a busy time, that’s my excuse. But when I saw that YouTube was now hosting podcasts, I thought it would be the perfect time to hotwire SURREAL NOIR and get back into the rat race. It’s going to take a bit of doing, because I have to…
