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.

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
