| 0:00.0 | Coming up on Digit. How handy to date a hairdresser? I mean, why did I never think of that? |
| 0:05.4 | Hairdresser or personal trainer? Can you imagine dating a personal trainer? Be like, get up, drop and give me 20. |
| 0:11.4 | I'd be like, I'm going to go and eat a bun. In a way, I think they want me to be their mum, not their sex |
| 0:18.9 | advisor. They just want, they want a different relationship. I also |
| 0:22.5 | learnt this thing recently. Some people, when they have lost their virginity, their friends |
| 0:27.4 | make them a cake. I was like, what? All of that, very exciting news. We are taking Digit to the stage. |
| 0:47.4 | Woo-hoo! Yes, we're going to be live in Sheffield at Crossed Wires on Sunday the 5th of July. |
| 0:53.2 | And if you haven't heard of Crosswires, it's basically |
| 0:55.3 | the world's biggest podcast festival. People have called it the Edinburgh Fringe for podcasts, |
| 1:00.5 | even the Glastonbury of podcasting. It is a whole weekend packed with live shows from some of your |
| 1:05.4 | favourite podcasts. They take over venues across Sheffield. There are after parties, DJ sets, |
| 1:11.5 | outdoor bars, |
| 1:17.3 | food stalls and loads of free events too. And we'll be at the Crucible, which is an iconic, |
| 1:24.2 | intimate venue, the home of World Snooker, will be properly up close with all our diggers. |
| 1:27.6 | Now, Sheffield is right in the middle of the country and very easy to get two by train. So if you fancy making a whole weekend of it, you can. And the peak district is right |
| 1:32.3 | on the doorstep. Potting Shed members will get an exclusive pre-sale link at 11am on the 10th of |
| 1:39.0 | December so you can grab early access tickets. And then general sale opens at 11am on the 11th of December. And if you |
| 1:45.7 | subscribe to the potting shed through Apple subscriptions, you'll need to email hello at digipod.co.org |
| 1:52.0 | Because Apple doesn't share your contact details with us. That is the only way we can make sure |
| 1:56.6 | you get the presale link. We'd absolutely love you to come and soak up the atmosphere at |
| 2:02.0 | CrossWires. It's a brilliant weekend. Come and join us for our first ever Dig It Live show. |
| 2:08.8 | We cannot wait to meet you in the flesh. All the details are there for you at CrossWire. |
