Hi everyone and hope you're having a splendid day! 

Following up from the last few posts, it was another amazing show on BBC Introducing: The South (BBC Sussex / BBC Surrey) last night and thanks so much to Melita for playing that special radio edit of "Hopes and Dreams" and for the amazing shout-out, reading all my tweets on the air, and more! For anyone who missed the show you can catch it again on the BBC Sounds App / website but as with the last one, it's only available for the next month! Check it out via the links above and below:

And if you want to hear more from the new "Hopes and Dreams" album, check it out on Bandcamp and in all the usual digital places, or pick it up when you become a patron for as little as $1!

A big shout-out to my good friend By Hand And Heart who was featured on the show as well this week! Well done bro! 

For some key times in the show keep an eye out for the following, though don't skip through as there are some cracking tracks in the show this week! I hope you enjoy it :) 

0:29:41 - Better Than The Book Tweet readout 

1:26:00 - Better Than The Book Tweet readout  

1:31:40 - Better Than The Book's "Hopes and Dreams [Radio Edit]" + a shout-out before and after  

1:48:56 - By Hand And Heart's "November Freefall" + a shout-out before and after 

As promised I have an extra bonus reward for all the patrons this week too: an exclusive download of that special radio edit of "Hopes and Dreams" that was featured on the show! As mentioned previously, I may decide to make this radio edit available for streaming and download elsewhere at a later date, but for now, it's a Patreon exclusive download, and patrons at least will be the first to be able to get it! Become a patron for as little as $1 a month to access this track and many more now, and remember that you'll gain access to all historic rewards and posts for your Patreon tier too when you become a supporter! With the new REWARD ARCHIVE tag it's never been easier to catch up with all those posts and music downloads you've missed too! I hope you enjoy them :) 

That's it for this post! The next set of $5+ rewards will be coming in 2 weeks so not long to wait in the grand scheme of things, but until then I hope you have a great time, enjoy the BBC show and thanks as always for supporting Better Than The Book and my various projects! Take care :D
