Welcome back to TalentCast after such a long time. This is the 472nd edition. My regular listeners know that I couldn’t release a regular weekly podcast, because I didn't receive enough interesting independent music to play. Today it's exactly 12 years since the first podcast of TalentCast came out, and I did receive more than enough good music in the past months to make an interesting programme for today. I would love to make a weekly podcast again. If you also want TalentCast to come back every week, I will ask you for a little favour. All you have to do, is to find TalentCast on Google Maps (maps.google.com). When you scroll down a bit, you see an option to review TalentCast. You can give some stars and if you like, you can write a little review about the project too. Because this is a one-time podcast for now, you don't have to vote, just enjoy the good independent music. All the songs are new, never played on TalentCast before. Four are by artists who have just joined the project and the other eleven songs are new releases of earlier members.

Edition of Friday, 7 December 2018
Our regular listeners might have noticed that for a long time just a few new artists and bands have joined TalentCast. Although our independent music podcast attracts still quite many listeners via podcast websites, our website is hidden away in search engines, which is the main reason why many artists and bands don't discover our project. Because of this I have decided to pause the weekly podcasts for a while, until I have fixed this issue. I still have some very nice tunes in the TalentCast archive and some new tracks which were sent by our artist members. You will hear some of these today. Among them are 2 Christmas songs, because within 3 weeks it's Christmas already. 2018 has gone very fast. Because this is the last podcast for the upcoming time, there is no voting, so relax and just enjoy the music. I will start in my home town Groningen with a jazz band which joined TalentCast last autumn. TalentCast will be back in the new year. I wish you a merry Christmas and of course a happy, healthy and musical 2019.

Edition of Friday, 30 November 2018
In this week's podcast I will play downtempo, singer-songwriters, jazz, rap and some rock. One of the songs is by a newcomer to TalentCast. It's a new collaboration between a Belgian and a Dutch artist. Quite a few votes came in last week. In about 20 minutes you will hear which song is most appreciated by our listeners of last week and is our new Song of the Week. I will start with an electronic, downtempo and chill-out solo project from Barcelona, Spain.

Edition of Friday, 23 November 2018
Last week TalentCast was all about rock. This week the music genres are varied and mainly peaceful, some of the songs are new songs I have recently received, and I am happy to have a new Song of the Week winner again. I will start with a happy tune from Poland by a 4-piece rock band.

Edition of Friday, 16 November 2018
The programme will sound a bit different than usual because I will only play rock music this time. But there are very many kinds of rock, so the music is still very varied. Unfortunately too few votes came in last week, so we don’t have a new Song of the Week winner this time. If you hear a song you enjoy, please take a short moment and vote for it. The first song of today is by a 3-piece punk rock band band from the Czech Republic.
