Hello and welcome to Series 6 episode 7 of Out with Susie Ruffle. Hello. I hope that whenever you're listening to this you're having a good week or day or maybe even just a good hour.

I have a very croaky voice today.

I've got that cold that's going round,

that cold that's not COVID that's going round.

So I sound a little bit like I'm doing a late night radio drive-in show which drive-in show call-in show a

late drive show you know what I mean one of those shows that happen late at night anyway

let's carry on let's carry on with what we're already

here for. We're here for an episode about. I've got a fantastic guest today.

It's Heather Peace who you'll definitely be aware of. She's currently in EastEnders, but she's also been in

lip service and London's burning and loads of other TV. And she's brilliant and I was

very excited to talk to her. We recorded in a little studio in Brighton because that's where we both live,

which is very exciting to wander down to a little studio and make friends with the technician.

And we had a really brilliant chat and I'm really excited to share that with you but before that I've got a couple of emails to share

Two quite long ones this week, but I thought they were both brilliant and worth sharing so

Let's have a listen

Hi Susie I hope you're well and enjoying life in your new house.

I love hearing all your updates and latest news on your move moves.

At least you're not having to broadcast from under a duvet this week.

I'm not actually. Thanks for saying that. I'm in my little office space which is very exciting.

I write this to you as a very close ally and you feel like my friend now, which I've heard many people say to you now,

and after listening to all of your out and like-minded friends podcast,

I even got my husband and my closest gay best friends to listen.
