Tim I have here an object that I am ridiculously excited about.

Oh yes.

Actually I have six of them. six of these exist and only six and the only ever will be six.

So people may remember an idea I had quite recently my podcast in a bottle. I'm obsessed with messages in a bottle, the whole concept of messages in a bottle being, you know, floating in the sea for years and being found in far away places. And I had this idea of recording a podcast and releasing it via bottles.

The only way you could listen to it is if you somehow found one of these bottles.

Well, a few weeks back now, Tim and I actually recorded an exclusive episode designed only for someone who found a bottle.

I've had them put onto the special waterproof rugged USB sticks that I had specially made with

unmade podcast branding and then I sent them to a guy in Canada called Lucas Clark.

He works for Simon Fraser University. People who watch my number

file videos will be familiar with him because he's an incredibly talented creator of glass sculptures. He works with a guy called Cliff Stahl making

Klein bottles and things in these videos that people may know. But he's an absolute genius with

glass. Seriously watching him blows my mind.

And he has made for us six bottles,

and he has sealed the USBs inside them.

He's double sealed them in a glass tube within a bottle around it and it's all

sealed at the top and it's specially designed to be very hardy to be released in

some way so we have six podcasts in a bottle. There will be pictures and videos in the show notes. If you're watching on YouTube, you'll be able to see it. But this is a beautiful, beautiful thing to hold and behold. And it exists exists it's a real thing. It's a real thing.

It's a real thing.

Stop right now and go to the show notes and have a look because that is absolutely

beautiful. That is absolutely magnificent. Now describe it's in the the palm of your hand so it's sort of a palm hand size like if you had a couple of big normal light bulbs together or something like that.

It's bigger than a light bulb, smaller than a Coke bottle.

Yeah.
