Getting Better Acquainted

GBA Edinburgh Festival 2012 Season: Three weeks of episodes related to the Edinburgh Festival 2012

(This was last year's season: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/fringe-festival-season/)

In GBA 69 we get better acquainted with the second Lucy that has been on the show. She talk about yoga for prisoners, accents, fairytales, feminism, the spoken and written word, and lot's more.

This is the first episode of the 2012 GBA Edinburgh Festival Season (http://goosefat101twitterspills.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/around-year-ago-getting-better.html) Over the next few weeks there will be conversations with people doing shows up there this year plus next Friday they'll be this year’s Edinburgh special documenting my journey into the opening weekend of the festival, mixed in with previews, reviews and extra snippets of conversation.

Lucy has a brilliant show. We talk about it in our conversation. And I went to see the preview a few months afterwards. I really thought it was great and I very strongly recommend it. Not only is it awesome, it is FREE!

In GBA 68 we get better acquainted with Kit Lovelace. He talks pen-names, playing background music, trusting your love life to readers of the Guardian Newspaper, interrupting true stories, anonymous blogging, what he learnt from some people called "biscuit" and "toast" and lot's more!

Kit Lovelace is the first guest to be listed by a false name but everything we talk about is real. He uses this name so he can reveal more of the truth, protecting the identity of both him and the people he has stepped out with.

He embarked on a project where he trusted his dating life to readers, first on his blog and later in his newspaper column: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/series/my-love-life-in-your-hands

It appears this approach may be the secret to finding love. At least for him. We discuss the practicalities, ethics, and semi salacious detail of this interesting relationship experiment.

In GBA 67 we get better acquainted with Martin "the soundman" Zaltz Austwick from the podcasts Answer Me This!, The Sound of the Ladies, The Global Lab Podcast and Bright Club.

But there is much more to Martin than podcasting:

I talk to Martin about treating cancer with lasers, the relationship between physics and sociology, songwriting, public engagement, the relationship between class and studying at Oxford, changing your name when you get married, reverb, the history of social housing in the UK and more.

This episode is part of a strand of GBA where I talk to podcast makers and radio makers: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/podcasters-and-radio-makers
