In this episode I call my work friend, Celia, and I tell her a joke.

Apologies to Celia for what I think are *actually* the worst jokes so far. Celia and I work together, and part of her job involves being up at truly awful and ungodly hours on a Sunday morning. But somehow she's never anything but chipper about it. A true inspiration.

In this episode I call my friend, Bob, and I tell him a joke.

Bob is my friend Katie's dad, and he and Tina (Katie's mum) listen to the podcast every day. Bob was getting *quite* concerned that I might be running out of people to call, and so bravely volunteered. Aside from being just generally lovely, Bob also made Katie, for which I will always be grateful.

In this episode I call my my kid friend, Arty, and I tell him a joke.

In case you're wondering, for the picnic we're getting Japanese sandos from Katsu King. Arty is vegetarian, and he says the egg sando is delicious. Recommend getting the potato gems on the side.

In this episode I call my friend, Ros, and I tell her a joke.

Ros is Mum to Sara-Jane and Nanna to Arty, and so is officially the head of my favourite family. She's been listening every day since the beginning and is a verified gem.

In this episode I call my, friend Moana, and I tell her a joke.

Mo recently put me on to my new favourite instagram account, @influencersinthewild, where you can see the great lengths instagram influencers will go to for their "craft". Proper lol-worthy, worth a follow.

In this episode I call my work friend, Susannah, and I tell her a joke.

Sus and I both go into work once a week, but we don't work on the same floor, and because everything is Covid safe we don't actually see each other at all. But SOMETIMES we're lucky enough to bump into each other when we're heading to our cars at finishing time, and then we sneak in a little chat. It's honestly a highlight.

In this episode I call my cousin, Paul, and I tell him a joke.

Paul and I didn't really know each other until this year, and it was just such a delight to find out that we really like each other. Paul is a super clever and funny writer, and during the pandemic he's been raising money for a South African organisation that's keeping thousands of people fed every day.

In this episode I call my work friend, Jo, and I tell her a joke.

Jo is an incredible cinematographer (and a truly lovely person), who I've been lucky enough to see in action and to work with a bunch of times. To say Jo is a trailblazer for women in cinematography is a massive understatement. Jo and I worked together most recently on Utopia (called Dreamland on US Netflix), which you should watch because it's excellent. Bonus points if you can find my cameo.

In this episode I call my friend, Tim, and I tell him a joke.

Tim has recently volunteered to run a zoom games night with, and I quote, a powerpoint games presentation. What a nerd. I love him and I've never been more excited.
