All right then. In the very classic sense, I'm very extroverted, which is hell, but I am.

Hello perfect dears. I'm Jessica Knappitt and you are skyrocketing your cortisol levels with

those news notifications.

Welcome to Perfect Day. Today I'm joined by the writer, actor, comedian, the glorious,

hilarious, wildly talented Nathan Fode.

He first shot to fame during lockdown with his frankly unhinged social media videos.

And it was a much needed serotonin boost in those dark days.

We talk about that a bit. Since then, he has gone from

chip shop legend to small screen star. He's the creator of the gold sitcom Newark Newark,

where he plays a roller disco manager. You also might know him as Lucius, the sassy,

shipbound scribe from HBO's R-Flagg means death, and he's also

been in Bloods, Mandy, basically anything good and weird on the telly right now. Look, if you're

familiar with the podcast, you'll know I don't always do formal intros. So what's missed off

the start of this record is me complimenting Nathan on his radiant glow.

We then spend five minutes solidly talking about moisturiser. I've left it in because if you don't

like it, you can fast forward, can't you? But my feeling is, honestly, when else do you get to eavesdrop

on two friends talking about

skincare? Isn't that the beauty of podcasts? Otherwise, you just have to go to Superdrug and

hang out in the beauty aisle. The point is, you're about to learn a lot about Nathan Fode's

incredibly dry eyelids, and I think that's okay. We're going to hear some very strong opinions

on cooking, holidays, and the outdoors in general.

There's no need for me to explain anymore.
