Massively enjoying the podcast. I think the discussion of all four finalists made me appreciate the cleverness of their writing even more. I love listening to you guys every time but I think the ones where Micah joins in are even better, the analysis goes DEEP and it's super interesting to me.

Cool podcast guys. I have to admit I didn't like this challenge and found it very frustrating and you're right I was trying to shoe-horn this challenge into a more traditional structure which I guess you could see as sort of skirting it.

Also totally agree that it doesn't "flow" right, I just couldn't really get it right, I damn near threw in the towel on this thing actually. And the overly quick fade-out is a mistake I keep making. I have this fetish for making my songs as short as possible but yeah, I need to let my endings breathe a bit more.

... But Micah saying I'm a good singer made up for any other negatives. I'm not a natural singer and have been working hard on my voice (like daily singing exercises) for a long time so I'll take that. Thank you very much Micah, made my day!

After listening to the songs a few more times; I do appreciate Mandibles & Zoe's songs a bit more now ... but damn Faster Jackalope killed it in my opinion. I think I might even like it more than their round 2 song which was my previous favorite of this spintunes 15 thing.

Really good competition. I'm definitely tempted to have another go next time...

Zoe Gray for the win. I thought the posts made it here, but looking back, they didn't. Let me update later today. Dammit!

Is there a spot where photos get hosted here, or should I find somewhere else to host them? I tried to link to google drive earlier, but it won't pass the images.
