  • Episode 70 - Life Update
    This week we celebrate episode 70 with our host Iain Luke Jones giving us all an update on some fantastic developments in his personal and improv life.
    There was a guest lined up, but it sadly fell through at the last minute, but this being an improv podcast meant that the show was able to go on regardless, just with a little change of direction. Celebrating 70 episodes alone is reason enough for a check in with Iain, but with the fantastic news he has to share it certainly deserved the time for his story to be told.
    Thank you all for your continued support of the show! We really appreciate each and every single one of you.
    Now it's time to sit back, relax and discover the true power of embracing a 'Yes And' mentality.

  • Episode 69 - Everybody Needs Good Neighbours
    This week we have something a little different for you. We love talking to improvisoers about their improv journeys and about a whole variety of improv related topics, but we are also keen to discuss other passions that improvisers may have.
    Our host Iain has mentioned in many of the show chats over the years that he is a big fan of the Aussie TV soap 'neighbours' and as it happens so are previous show guests San George and Kat Cooke.
    On 29th July 2022 Channel 5 aired the final ever episode of Neighbours in the UK and this was a very sad day indeed for Neighbours fans all over the world.
    Iain, San and Kat decided to get together and talk about the show that they have loved all of their lives and how genuinly upset they all are now that it has come to an end.
    It is definitley a little something different, but there are still some links to improv that will shed light on a few things in terms of how Iain's improv brain works.
    Think about something you absolutely adore and then think about how you would feel if somebody took it away from you. That is how Iain, San and Kat feel & they want to share their feelings with you all.
    So sit back, relax and enjoy discovering the true story of how everybody really does need good Neighbours.
