b'Part 1 of The GBA 100th Episode Special:\\n\\nTo celebrate 100 episodes of the show I gathered a bunch of my favourite people together in a room and made them sit and listen to a special live episode of the show. There was talk and there was food (including a cake). In part 2 they\\u2019ll even be some live music from the GBA house band A Room Full of Friends. \\n\\nPart 1 features clips from the first 100 episodes, focusing first on the way that doing Getting Better Acquainted\\ufeff has influenced and changed my life, then moving into more general examples of what GBA conversations can be, and then getting into how the show has developed its own internal logic and has begun to create itself.\\n\\nIt features messages from fellow podcasts I Like You\\ufeff and Risk!\\ufeff. Chillpak Hollywood Hour also gets focused on quite a lot. The conversation I had with Phil Leirness about his film The Truth Is Out There\\ufeff is was an interesting episode not just in itself but also in relation to how GBA works.\\n\\nThe clips include childbirth, death, the time I poured coke on a friends white shirt because I thought it would be funny, dealing with anger, life during the Northern Irish "Troubles", epiphanies and lots and lots more. \\n\\nThese episodes were recorded in January 2013.\\n\\nPart 2 comes out on Friday.\\n\\nFull show notes here: http://gettingbetteracquainted.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/show-notes-gba-100-pt-1.html\\n\\n\\nYou can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.\\n\\nOn-demand and on the go!\\n\\nDon\\u2019t have Stitcher?
