Music

is a guest.

Hello and welcome to another Askast extra as always with James from Gunnar blog James.

Good morning to you. I'll actually before you say anything and reply to that.

I just want to make it clear that when I say good morning, I don't mean to say that

afternoons can't also be good and evenings and nights they can sometimes be good.

I mean they can be good and bad. I'm just making a greeting at this particular time of day.

So I didn't want that to be misconstrued in any way.

Well, yeah, also we'd hate to alienate all the people who are having bad mornings.

Yes. It is important to kind of lay these things down early on.

By the way, I wanted to clear something up because on the Askast you've had a lot of great guests

in recent weeks. You know, people like David Ornstein, you've had Clive, Tim Stillman,

Filippo Claire. And I think, you know, it's raised a real question mark over my future.

You know, I've not been on the Askast. It's regularly and maybe people have been enjoying

the other guests. So I don't know if you've seen, but I've just put a tweet out.

And I just said, when you do a podcast, you don't do it because of the awards,

the listeners or history. You do it because you found yourself somewhere there,

found a place where you belong. Hashtag gave me Lawrence. And all I want to say is some people may feel

that's a cynical move on my part that I'm trying to sort of play to you there. You know, and maybe

get more appearances, get more appearances, you know, lay on a bit thick to sort of make everyone

feel the affinity I have with this podcast. But I assure you, those feelings are entirely genuine

and not in any way cynically motivated. I just love this podcast, Andrew. I just love this podcast.
