Summary

This week’s podcast is presented by Michelle and Stephen.

We hear from:

Katherine - this was one of two calls that we unfortunately missed from last week’s podcast - and she is worried about the financial situation at Bridge Farm, she thinks that George needs a business mentor, and she’s a bit worried about Brian ;
Leigh from Cookham - the other call that slipped through last time - she has thoughts about Ruth and BRCA testing;
Lizzie, who has an exciting plot prediction about the Borchester Show;
Jo and John who also have a plot prediction about Carol;
Tracy from California who has thoughts on Adam’s child rearing and George’s character;
Tracy again, with a plot prediction about blackmail;
Katherine again, and she’s cross about Ruth and the BRCA testing;
Witherspoon, who has thoughts on Pip and her doomscrolling;
And finally Lakey Hill Liminal, who has a few words of praise for Brad;

We have no emails this week, but as usual we’ll hear a roundup of the Dumteedum Facebook group, this week from Lakey Hill Liminal, and the Tweets of the Week from Purple Pumpkin; plus the roundup of this Week in Ambridge, from Suey.
