From jägerbombs to secret parties, and stellar guests to plastic babies; this week’s podcast reflects on my time at the NFA Annual Flute Convention in San Antonio, Texas. I look at all the things the NFA got right, my own personal scandals, the cultural differences in the US, a hot take that will kill all my sponsorship chances and finally; why you should join me next year in Atlanta. (There’s also a wee rant against Woodify and other related snake-oil products, sorry I got carried away x) If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at; patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcast Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
