Portuguese Practice Guilt

The Inline G Flute Podcast ·

2025/05/08

Whilst on my holidays, I got anxious about making a podcast and then ended up getting inspired to make one about working on your holidays and it turned out to be a fun part of my holidays. It’s a history of holidays, an analysis of if you should or shouldn’t practice on your holidays, and a love letter to amateur flute players.

The Romantic Flute (not that one)

The Inline G Flute Podcast ·

2025/05/01

It’s always felt like we flute players weren’t invited to the Romantic party. Whilst Beethoven, Wagner and Mahler were playing beer pong, we were at home tooting our own flutes. So this week, I look at why that is, along with the Jena German Romanticism movement, the response to The Enlightenment, and how the French screwed it all up.Grma xInline G Merch 😎www.Inlineg.myshopify.comInline G Patreon ⭐️www.patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcastInline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up to the

The Inline G Flute Podcast ·

2025/04/17

McIlroy, Frampton, Best, Galway; Belfast has always punched above her weight, and we love her for it. But why is national identity so much more important in smaller nations?
