Oh hi there!

Last time I saw yo, living in fear of contracting a debilitating virus was the stuff of nightmares and now look at us! Good times guys, amirrrrriiight?

After a long pandemic induced break, I am so glad to start this new series with the brilliant talent that is Nathan Foad.

Nathan is a writer, comedian, performer, expert present wrapper and definitely not a hockey player. Nathan’s star is rising which of course, I am 80% happy for, 20% full of loathing for.

Before the first lockdown Nathan executive produced a Channel 4 taster pilot for his original sitcom ‘Newark, Newark’ named after his home town Newark on Trent. But the success and achievement does not stop there which leaves me fuming. He has written for the BBC3/RTE production The Young Offenders, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice for Channel 4 as well as being under commission from BBC Comedy and Comedy Central. If you haven’t see his brilliant online series Comedians in Quarantine, just click here baybuh. And if you’re looking for even more hilarity from Nathan, read his essays on his website and make sure you you follow him on Twitter and Instagram. Reader, je love him - he is a joy. 

NOW WITH ALL THAT SAID, if you want to support the podcast which I’m sure between 1 and 3 of you do, then please sign up to my Patreon here For just over €3 a month I record two audio diaries and various other little bits. Recording an audio diary this year has been particularly brilliant seeing as we've all been trapped in our homes and I've done sh*t all,but we have a laugh mates. You can also show your support for free by clicking five stars in iTunes and leaving a short review, something casual along this line of ‘I AM SIGNING THE DEEDS OF MY HOUSE OVER TO ESTHER AS THIS IS THE FINEST PIECE OF AUDIO I HAVE EVER HEARD. WHAT A TALENT.’ I don’t want to put words in your mouth but something like that would be more than adequate. 

Follow me on Insta here too while you’re at it.

Until next Tuesday my little fruit of the looms!

Peace and love, 

EO'MD.
