I listen at 1.3x speed and even in my 40 minute commute I hadn't got past Martin and Holly just generally chattering about the programme. I always said that even the length of the theme tune hinted at Martin's ability to put the "marathon" into the interview technique using about 262 words where 20 would do.

There's a school of thought, to which I strongly adhere as, I believe do Nellers and others, that sometimes all you want is some people who's company you enjoy to chat in your ears while you run/drive/do the ironing/whatever. The BBC Football Daily Euro Edition does that so, so well. The Monday Night Club edition should do it too, except Micah Richards.

That sounds interesting, might have a look into that one......then again I have about 5 Audiable books backed up and other podcasts. Just not enough time in the day. But still....it sounds interesting.

It was my companion for a few years when I had to travel for business and wifi wasn't a certainty in hotels. Like many I sort of drifted away from it, for me it was when Tom seemed not to be interested in running any longer Had forgotten about the Yuki suit, will always remember Tony's trials (the Bullock Smithy episode was a classic and even liked 'Boy on the Run.' I bid it adieu with thanks to all those involved.

Now 2 episodes into Who Is Aldrich Kemp? where the character of Kennedy Fisher from The Lovecraft Chronicles has just made an appearance.
larkim Feb 2022 9:47am, 25 Feb 2022 17,132 posts	0 larkim BBC seems to be wanting to consolidate podcasts through BBC sounds only, at least for some of them (e.g Friday night comedy) which will be a bit annoying for people like me who use a pod catching app.
Fizz :-) Feb 2022 9:52am, 25 Feb 2022 6,746 posts	0 Fizz :-) There’s about ten of them which will be on a 28 day delay. I’ll mostly just wait rather than switch to BBC sounds.
