The host admits he almost said 2015 instead of 2017 while apologizing for missing last week's podcast due to a cold.

The episode begins with the host correcting the episode number and apologizing for missing last week's podcast due to a cold. He introduces the first track, 'Boys and Drugs' by Kilo Tango, but admits he played the wrong song. The host mentions attending Creative Circles, a monthly networking event in Edinburgh run by Creative Edinburgh, where he spoke to Sam Bradley. Bradley asked if the podcast is recorded live or edited, prompting the host to reveal he has been editing episodes lately due to time constraints. He explains that today's episode is recorded 'as live,' leading to mistakes like playing the incorrect track. The host shares that he is tired after a day with his son, including visits to Edinburgh Zoo and the Botanical Gardens, and voting in local Scottish elections. He plays music from the Ladyfest Boston compilation and discusses its availability on Bandcamp. The host then explains why he is not doing a live podcast this week: Mixler, the service he used for free streaming, shut down its free plan. He expresses reluctance to pay for an alternative or start a Patreon due to unreliability. Further music tracks are introduced, including from Ape Not Kill Ape and Flaws Above, with the host critiquing Bandcamp design trends. He concludes by mentioning he had to explain single transferable vote to his five-year-old son and plays a final track by Yacht Communism before signing off.
