It was

Very much enjoyed my little jaunt to Bristol and the West Country. Thanks to everyone who heard me talk at The Architect, and to Jane and Design West for hosting. And cheers to Paris Troy, Martin, Alex and BBC Bristol for having me on Radio Bristol. It was gert lush.

Okay it’s time to reveal the latest waste of time high concept project to emerge from Beanland Towers: my new comedy podcast Park Date! Please review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow on socials here and here

The website is here at parkdate.co.uk

I’ve been busily recording episodes for season 1 (if you’re American) slash series 1 (if you’re not) in Boston, Sydney, New York and London, and am in the process of editing them badly.

There are some really fascinating guests we can’t reveal yet: thinkers, writers, comedians, musicians, designers and flaneurs, with everything recorded outside in different city parks around the world.

There will also be a ton of original comedy and bad/dad jokes – THIS IS NOT A BORING PODCAST OK?

The first episode is coming very soon…….. here’s a very silly trailer to whet your appetite

Make Architects and my publishers Batsford are hosting a party with free drinks and a book talk by yours truly where I run through the craziest and funniest projects from my Unbuilt book and sign some books after. It’s in London on Jul 27 and I’d love you to come. GET YOUR FILTHY PAWS ON SOME TICKETS BY CLICK CLICK CLICKING

Thanks to everyone who came to mac in Birmingham and enjoyed a pint of foaming nut brown ale while I shot the breeze live on stage with Oxide Ghosts and Brass Eye director Michael Cumming after the Oxide Ghosts screening earlier this week. We talked Ted Maul, spherical cows and how Charlie Brooker met Chris Morris.
