To calm things down, why does Claire always play the drums on the same two days every year?

The answer to that, at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.

Welcome, Seekers, to the celestial sphere of Lateral. The stars are aligned, the tea leaves have been red, and the psychic vibrations are probably being caused by the builders downstairs.

But fear not, for the cosmos has revealed three guiding lights that are attuned to the subtle energies of creative thought.

First, we have from Matt Gray as trying, Matt Gray.

Hello, thank you for having me back.

Welcome back to the show. What are you working on at the minute? What's, what are you trying?

Well, at the end of the last episode I was on, I prematurely promoted a video that wasn't out yet.

So as we're recording now at the end of March,

I'm just about to release my search and rescue video

where I went out on Dartmoor with Dartmoor Search and Rescue

trying to rescue an actor who had pretended to break their leg.

But we heard some real shouts for help while we were there,

so it turned into a real search halfway through.

So if you want to see that, then look up. Matt Gray is trying on YouTube.

Full plugging, I appreciate it.

Why do you think I'm here, Tom?

I'm not here to support my friend's podcast.

No, that's fair enough.

Next up, I'm just going to move on from that.

Next up, we have quiz and puzzle, writer and editor. Dan Peek, welcome back to the show.

Hey, thank you for having me. It is good to be back. What have you been working on?
