I didn't know much about David Correos before I booked him for RHLSTP, but I know an awful lot about him now. We got into some very personal areas with the New Zealand Taskmaster star and I can't wait for you to hear it (but I am going to have to). I liked him an awful lot and I think you will too and if you don't know him already you have a treat in store.
It was a slightly unusual crowd in today, which I have felt like it has been a few times, of people who don't seem to know the podcast or me (or the guest) very well. They seem to enjoy it on the whole but I don't know why they have chosen my show. There were some quite elderly people on the front row and that's cool, I am getting elderly and so are my fans, but they seemed a bit bamboozled about what they were seeing (and it was a very full on episode). They didn't leave though. But not sure they'd have been able to if they wanted to.
Everyone is welcome at RHLSTP.
I decided to take a day off seeing shows and relaxed in my hotel. I didn't have any way of viewing the partial eclipse (I feel I was in Edinburgh for the 1999 one, but can't remember seeing anything) but I was going round to an Edinburgh friend's house for dinner so tried to have a quick look when the clouds or houses weren't in the way. Because a quick look can't hurt you.
In Edinburgh at least, we didn't seem to get too much of an eclipse and the sky didn't go dark or change colour very much. But it was fun seeing the various clumps of people trying to have a look: some with the right eyewear and some assuming a gap in their fingers would do the job.
After days of junk food it was very nice to get a home cooked meal and to catch up with my pal and to attempt to process all the crap we've both been through this year.
As I walked back through the city I looked up at all the beautiful buildings. Maybe looking to the sky and squinting had made me think about what else was above me. The architecture of this place is insane, with even the not so fancy buildings usually having the odd column or statue. They had time to make art while they were making homes and public buildings.
Why pay to go to shows when you can look at the sun not really being covered by the moon or at the light in a high ceilinged living room for free? If you don't count the accommodation costs of being in this city.
