Around the block and back

My friend NewK (aka John Newcott) is this month’s guest on the Pod.

Like many, I first knew him as a marketing guy for Universal and Verve Forecast back in the 90s, but as happens with all first impressions, I later had to seriously expand the slot I’d originally allocated to him in my mind. The guy has a long history as a musician and composer as well as a deep love of the art which now, at long last, takes center stage in his life. NewK has been around the block and back, and in this episode of Play It Like It’s Music we get to hear some of his stories, as well as some great music.
