Were going to do something radically different! Ep #27

Here\\u2019s the thing. The country\\u2019s locking down, people are going to be spending more time at home and so they\\u2019re looking for more and better entertainment: watch-related or otherwise. And that\\u2019s inspired us to have a bit of a change of direction. As well as just talking into this podcast, we\\u2019re now going to start filming it: a bit like our very own, slightly dysfunctional, reality show. Yes, I know we mentioned this already last time. But honestly, we\'re definitely going to do it. Perhaps as soon as the next episode.

\\n

Those who just prefer to listen rather than look at us \\u2013 and that would be an entirely understandable viewpoint \\u2013 can continue to do so, but isn\'t it great that we\\u2019re also going to be stars of YouTube? So we\\u2019d obviously like to apologise to YouTube (and everyone else) in advance.

\\n

This new format means that we won\\u2019t be coming out every week, but instead every couple of weeks. And in a perfect piece of timing, we\\u2019ve decided to launch this radical new filming idea in the middle of a lockdown, when we can\\u2019t actually film anyone. What could possibly go wrong?

\\n

For our final fling in the current format, we\\u2019ve got Tom Williams as our special guest: rally star and Geckota brand ambassador. If you like getting dirty and sideways, he\\u2019s your man.
