Hello and welcome to Series 3 episode 5 of out with Susie Ruffle. We've been

going for about a year now. Mid March that's about the time we started the first series. Mid-March. What am I talking about? It is the end of March, isn't it? It's almost April.

We've been going for nearly a year. Third series, I'm pretty chuffed with that.

How are you? I hope you are doing okay. I always ask how you are and I

appreciate you can't answer me but I feel like you know if you're in lockdown by yourself

maybe no one's asked you that and maybe just say it out loud and you might feel a bit better

I hope that you're doing okay today. I'm doing all right

Just a bit of exercise guys. I'm still on my gym gear. I feel pretty smug that I've managed to get out the house on a Sunday morning

So that's all good about to make a pie if you're interested in what I'm doing

So I'm having a pretty good day. I've been as ever just blown away by the amount of you that get in touch and tweet about the show.

Also the numbers that the podcast is doing now is building constantly.

So those of you that have told your mates or tweeted about it, like people are finding it, which is amazing. It means that I can carry on making it and I can devote even more time to getting exciting guests and brilliant people on the show.

So thank you for that.

Thank you for being my companion over this strange year of lockdown.

If you want to get in touch, do as you know I'm on the

socials. Don't know I'm 35 am I young enough to say the socials? Yeah sure the socials why not.

And also obviously if you want to email me I am at hello at out with

Susie ruffle.com a lot of you get in touch and say how much you enjoy the

listener emails and I really love them too it was just an idea at the beginning because I thought oh well that

would be a nice way to sort of package the show and now it's become some people say oh it's my

favorite bit of the show which my future mother-in-law actually said that to me this

weekend it's one of my favorite bits of the show when you share other people's stories.
