0:41.7	Thank you. Global Player Original podcast. Hello and welcome to The Rough Corner.
0:45.3	This is the bonus episode that sits in between the main We Can Be Weirdo's shows where I, Dan Shriver, I go through the last seven days of weird occurrences that have happened
0:55.0	in my life, and more often than not, I sit down with someone interesting and chat to them

1:50.3	We're going to be recording a bunch of We Can Be Weirdos in my tiny little apartment there. So if you're in
1:55.7	Edinburgh during August 3rd to the 7th, keep an eye out for me and Spooky Al on the streets as we run around with
2:01.9	microphones. But as a result, we are parking the August live show of weirdos, but we are going
2:06.9	to be back September 16th with an extraordinary guest. We're going to be doing this one as a live
