TOM KITCHING’S recent experiences of busking the length and breadth of England for 18 months, recounted in the blog Busk England, led to Seasons of Change: an album, a live show and a book under the same name.
Now the 35-year-old is releasing a series of half-hour podcasts created from live readings of his written words.
The first two feature snippets of music from the album and are interspersed with field recordings of sounds he came across on his travels, from trains in Redcar to the shouts of market traders in Leeds and Widnes.
