Hello and I am back again with a pre-episode request.

So real-life course stories came third in the British Podcast Awards thanks to you absolute

little legends and I have to say, it lit a fire in me.

I am determined to win something this year if it kills me.

I found out only in the last few weeks that this year for the first time there is an Irish

Podcast Awards and they have a listeners' choice award and listen, I don't want to be

premature but like could real-life course stories win.

If you can and if you want to please sling a vote to real-life course stories on www.theirishpodcastawards.ie

forward slash vote, the link will be in the description as always.

It's the same as last time you have to vote and then verify by email and that's it,

takes two seconds and as with the last time if you listen to other indie Irish podcasts

please throw them a vote too.

I believe the voting closes on the 11th of September so I'll do a couple of more little

reminders before that point but thank you, I love you all so much and let's get into

the episode ok bye.
