On Friday last week I met with Mr John Dredge to record another episode of The Funny Comics Fanclub, and we did so in HIGH SPIRITS because John had just received news that we were going to be featured in The Sunday Times at the weekend!
Two days later, still EXCITED, I zoomed round to my local newsagents and bought The Sunday Times for the first time in about twenty years. It's been two decades because that's how long it takes to READ one issue, as it is GINORMOUS. but once I had ploughed through the multiple sections, pullouts and magazines I found our mention as promised, and it looked like THIS:
It was, I must admit, PRETTY FLIPPING EXCITING. That's us, right there, in The Famous Sunday Times! COR!
Perhaps most excitingly of all it drew us to the attention of Mr Chris Shaw of MY FAVOURITE PODCAST EVER I Am The Eggpod, who suggested we put some of the actual pages discussed on our socials. I have resisted doing this when other people have suggested it, largely because it involves using the scanner at work, but if Chris from Eggpod says it is a good idea then I am POWERLESS to resist, and so have gone and done exactly that - if you look on our twitter, bluesky or Facebook pages you should be able to see all of the relevant pages from episode one, with episode two to follow later this week and then similar on the day of release for future episodes. You can also find all of this stuff on our brand new INSTAGRAM page, what I set up yesterday and am still not quite sure if I did it right!
Meanwhile, thanks very much to everyone who's said nice things about the podcast so far. As you can probably tell, John and I are having a lot of funning making it, so it's good to know people are listening - ta!
