It's the episode nobody has been waiting for; I'm finally taking a deep dive into the famous Flute Forum group on Facebook, reading you guys some of my favourite threads from within. Looking at key factors (age and culture), I then look to suggest some reasons why the group can be so volatile, and help you develop a touch of empathy towards it all. Finally, I have a look at a strange trend in the flute world that looks like an awful lot like a pyramid scheme (and give you some tips to recognise them, if needed.) As always, if there's a specific section you fancy skipping to, scroll down here for the different chapters. Full disclaimer: nobody's real name's are used during this episode, and it's a work of comedy.
