Summary

Warning: This podcast starts with Very Strong Opinions about potatoes.  It continues in a similarly esoteric vein as star of The Horne Section and Dr Who Georgia Tennant gives her opinions on the versatility of the humble glue-gun, some pretty straight-talking on MoonCups and how to psyche out opponents as an older netball team. It’s a cracking good fun episode. You’re going to enjoy this one. Even if Georgia has unusual opinions about potatoes.  Georgia stars as Ash in The Horne Section that is on Channel 4; You can watch that on 4 On Demand. You can also keep up with all her projects by following her on Instagram where she’s @GeorgiaTennantofficial.  We also recorded our extra show with Georgia where she grappled with questions from you lot, including a fantastic bit about AI and dolphins as well as some rather frank discussions about the birds and the bees.  It’s all on our Patreon show here, as well as so much more… patreon.com/RussellHoward   There! Do you hear it? The gentle chug of the steam engine as the train starts to pull away down the platform. I put my ham-fist up against the glass, and you put your trotter up to join it. Your little stupid legs start going faster and faster as you try to keep up with the train, refusing to let physics tear us apart but, as many before us have found out, you can’t fuck with physics. You tumble into a messy, broken heap off the end of the platform and I settle to the crossword and a lovely cup of tea.  Adieu.

So, thanks very much for coming on the show. Thanks for having me. We were just talking about Chiswick, which is where you live, a wonderful part of the world. Have you been to the chip shop there on the high street? It's absolutely sensation. Do you know what? I don't like potatoes. What? I know. It's a bold entrance to this podcast, but I don't really understand what one does to a potato to make it what everyone else feels about a potato. I think I think I, did you reckon Nigella Lawson just fainted? I think so just hearing that. Yeah. I don't understand what one, so that you've never... It's like matter. It's so funny now, isn't it? Because obviously you're well within your rights to... And clearly nothing I can say is going to change it. No. I in my head, I'm going, I'm trying to go through every variation that in any way
