0:24.6	the most requested guest of all time or at least this year an interview with
0:30.2	Kate Kennedy. Well it's not quite an interview. We're testing a new guest format.
0:34.2	We just haven't cracked getting you all to like guests,
0:38.5	as much as you like us chatting.
0:39.9	So we're gonna combine three things and guests and see how that goes.
0:43.8	We'd love your feedback on if you like this episode format or if you have other ideas.

1:57.1	drafts like I'm under no illusion that this is done and I'm getting a gold star. But you know in the next, I think I set too aggressive a deadline. I then was trying to meet it and so I got into
2:08.7	really bad work habits of working on the weekend and I stopped going on my walks and I just let a lot of habits slide.
