Summary
🚨 Bit of a change! 🚨
As we explained last week, our contract with Wondery has been terminated – which means the ad support that kept this free feed alive has gone.
While we work out how to bring the free version of the pod back, for the next few weeks full episodes will only be available on Patreon.

This week’s full episode is The Patreon Tapes 2: The Shower Seat — and just to be clear: The Patreon Tapes will NEVER be available for free anywhere.
Patreon has always been the main reason we’ve been able to make this show, and right now it’s the only way we can keep going. Thank you so much to everyone who already supports us — we couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

| 1:04.5 | I always thought I'd be the reason we got cancelled by one. Oh yeah, 100%. |
| 1:07.7 | Yeah, I always thought Mike could be the reason we got cancelled. |
| 1:10.5 | Yeah. Yeah. I thought that we would broadly do something bad and therefore something would happen. But yeah, we just kind of got cat. Yeah, and in a sort of one for all and all for one, first amongst equals, we all take the wrap. Oh, yeah, we might have said. For three weeks and then bring in Scott Quinault. And then just tell the truth after that. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, exactly. It'd be good. Yeah. That'd be perfect. But that's not what's happened. So we are having a lot of meetings. Yeah, we are. Yeah, we are. We are. And we're sending lots of emails and receiving lots of emails And it's quite nice. It's quite nice to, you know, have a little fight over us. It's lovely.

| 2:48.8 | I would say that's been our admin approach for just over five years. |
| 3:24.2 | And yet, amazingly, this isn't our fault. Wondry deciding to pull the plug on their British operation. Yeah. Incredibly, nothing to do with us. Yeah, yeah. I am so relieved. There's some nice people there, to be fair to them. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Some amazing people there. A bit of a bit of a, yeah, a no-band guy situation, really. Do you know what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Someone decided somewhere that it wasn't working. And it wasn't due to the numbers that we were providing, which is good, which is a nice thing. We haven't failed. No. Yeah. It's not a this anyway.
