Have you ever thought about writing a book? Well my guest this week has done that, and not only is he now published, he is published by a method that me or you could do tomorrow, not that it would necessarily be successful.

That method is the very popular crowdfunding concept. If you’re unaware of what crowdfunding is, allow me to provide a brief description. Crowdfunding is where people with an idea can put forward that idea online and anyone who thinks that they would like to see that idea happen can “back” that idea, essentially invest in it.

They do this by agreeing to pay a certain amount of money, this is often rewarded with perks, for example with Pauls book, one of the perks included an invitation to the book launch, your name in the book and a copy.

This is possibly, one of the most commonly asked questions I see, and commonly corrected too (usually pretty quickly and, let’s say passionately).

It’s a simple question, and you’d think would has a simple answer. I’m hoping that this episode of the podcast will serve as a reference for future generations, but most people will probably continue to argue online about it (sorry, discuss passionately).

This question comes up often enough for local poet Paul Jenkins to have created TWO poetry books.

To give you an example of how often this comes up, it has actually spawned two poetry books from local poet Paul Jenkins, namely Poems from VillageTown Volumes 1 and 2.

Is Ramsbottom a town or a Village?

Let me start by explaining that I honestly thought a quick “Google” of this question would provide me with some background. I know what Ramsbottom is, but I wanted to try my best to explain WHY it is what it is. Not just say, it’s this, because it is.

As you may very well know, Sunday the 13th of January was “Rubber Duckie Day”. I obviously didn’t need to tell you that, you knew already, but assuming you didn’t, you do now.

So what’s that got to do with Ramsbottom? Well, not only is there the giant duck rubber race every year with Ramsbottom Rotary Club, it also happens that this year, Ramsbottom and podcast regular Paul Jenkins is on a mission. That mission is what he’s called “The People Who Celebrated Everything“.

Paul Jenkins taking part in National Cut Your Energy Day

Throughout the year, Paul will be taking part in whatever day event it happens to be, for example he’s already had National Trivia Day – January 4th, National Cut Your Energy Day – January 10th and now National Rubber Duckie Day.

Noticing that it was Rubber Duckie Day coming up, I offered to loan out my giant duck.
