I'm so sad to hear this news. I was an avid listener to BritishMac back in the day and loved his uniquely British whimsical style. Thanks for your lovely words. I'll be raising a glass to him at Ye Olde Mac and Mouse tonight.

Whimsical is a great way to describe both Will and his podcast.

I can't believe I've only just found out about Will's passing. I must've listened to every podcast he ever made - he is irreplaceable. I followed him through the highs and lows of his complicated life. I shall miss his wit and humour and his love of music and British comedy. Did anyone ever gather up his works and put them somewhere for safekeeping? I am still a patreon member - I trust all those recordings have been downloaded?

Hi David,

There is a collection slowly growing and if you have any additional missing episodes, it would be very much appreciated if you can potentially add them to the archive.

Thanks James. I’ve been looking through old hard drives to see if I backed any up, but nothing yet.

I only have a faint recollection of this bit of the night. Despite looking quite sober sat next to Will I have a feeling those bottles on the table were only the tip of the iceberg. :-)

Hi Christian, I've come across 6 or 7 old BritishMac podcasts that I've saved on one of my hard drives. Would you like them? If so pleas email me at robhancox@mac.com.
