Hello and welcome to Series 4 episode 11 of out with Susie Ruffle.

Hello I hope that you're having a good week. Do I say that every week? I feel like I do.

But I genuinely mean it. I do hope you're having a good week. I'm coming to you live from the tiny box room

that I've made into a studio. I say box room we know it's a cupboard and as I'm

seeing here I've just sort of looked to my right and I've realized that there are some boxes,

which I assume a Christmas presents, that my wife has hidden in here. But now I'm in here.

So I really want to open them, but I'm not going to because I'm 35 and I really

need to learn to behave like an adult. But yeah that's as ever I'm just sharing with you what is going

through my head at the exact moment.

What do I need to say to you? I need to say thank you to all of you that got in touch of

last week's episode. Lots of you enjoyed my fabulous chat with Michael Chacravati,

who I love so much. What a excellent episode that was.

Really loved sharing Michael's story and I just think he's a wonderful wonderful man.

If you haven't listened to that one, I highly recommend you go back.

If you're trying to get in touch with me at the moment, you always can.

My email is hello at out with Susie Ruffel.

I'm also all over the Instagram. I'm taking a bit of a Twitter break at the moment.

There was some hostility on there after the Womanhood documentary came out so I'm not

engaging with any of that because I don't have time for it. I don't have time for me and people so I'm just taking myself away.

But if you want to get in touch with me you can do on the email and I'm really keen to hear more of your coming out stories.

We're getting less of them at the moment,

which is the first time it's happened since the podcast started.
