This is the Whistling Podcast. It's not about sports, nor about reporting corruption and vice. It's not about trying to pick up chicks nor an obsession with tea kettles. It's not about trainspotting nor fireworks. At least not yet. It is about musical whistling, the kind you do with your mouth while passing a graveyard.
