Eight years ago I started recording a weekly, solo podcast, and resolved to keep going every week. I had no idea what it was or why I was doing it, but it felt like a good idea so I kept going. In that time I have gone from a lonely, open mic comedian to being a professional artist living in London. I'm so proud of the life that I've built for myself in my life, profession and community. In these years I have come to use this podcast as a way of contextualising my life and giving narrative to the chaotic events that continually bombard all of us. Throughout that journey there have been an incredibly small, but unbelievably loyal group of listeners on the journey with me. Thankyou to everyone who has ever tuned in! I'd still struggle to tell you what "IT" was, but I do know I couldn't have done it without you.

Tomorrow I'm going to upload every episode of this podcast to a voice-to-text engine, then run all of the text through an AI chatbot like ChatGPT or something, to effectively have this AI engine experience 8 years of my weekly thoughts. Then I'm going to ask it some questions. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Then next week for the last episode I'm going to talk about whatever comes of it, and that will be that!

This is the third-to-last episode of my podcast. I talk about feeling unfocussed and frustrated this week, and trying to find a renewed sense of focus. I'm sick, which isn't helping. Time to pop a Vitamin D tablet, I reckon.
