Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.

My name's Will Wilkin and I Commission Music Podcast for the BBC.

It's a really cool job, but every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs, moments and movements,

stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.

And the BBC's position at the heart of British music means we can tell those stories like no one else.

We were, are and always will be right there at the center of the narrative.

So whether you want an insightful take on music right now or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous

and infamous moments in music check out the music podcasts on BBC Sounds.

For the past month, Edinburgh has been packed full of performers and punters

enjoying the biggest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Fringe.

I'm comedian Mark Watson, and I've been coming to the

fringe for 24 years. So as this year's festival draws to close I'm going to catch up

with some of the best comedians performing here and drop in to hear a bit of their

shows to bring you the truest fringe

experience you can get without being fired every 30 seconds. A bit later I'm going

to the ceremony for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards and chat to the

winners. Let's have that in town and see who's about.

This is fresh from the fringe.

We're now in a sort of cafe with Anya Magliano just right on the meadows where a lot of

fringe performers can be seen at almost every minute of the day.

This is a third year on the spin, isn't it? How you find you?
