if it hadn't been for the fact that they were all

recorded and numbered and on Monday episode 1000 goes live with Matthew McConaughey on the biggest

video wall in Texas with the real life airstream reversed onto the set and I'm about to go on tour

It's very exciting.

But it's been interesting getting to do this, preparing for this episode and sort of reflecting

on seven and a half years of not really knowing what I'm doing and hoping that something good and

useful comes out of it and we just crossed a billion plays which is also very flattering

but it's felt like a period of reflection. And today I'm going to take

you through some of the best lessons that I think I've ever learned. And it's from the last 100

All of those are available now at Chris Williamson. Live. So you can go and get those tickets. It's a huge show. It's sold out in London. It sold out in Australia. It's an hour and a half long of just me.

Zach Tallander is warming up playing music. There's a Q&A at the end. There's meet and greet.

There's, it's all happening. So go and get your tickets now. Also, I wanted to give you a gift

in true British fashion, try and give back after giving 99 episodes. I have made a playlist of
