BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY UPDATE
🕑 Added 2025-08-25 09:59:57 +0000 UTC
Morrrrrning all. Happy Bank Holiday Monday. I’ve been working so far today, so solidarity with anybody else who is. Probably won’t do a full day though.
You don’t need to know this.
New Bubblegun up now. It’s my favourite ep so far. It was Sanja's least favourite to record, second only to Knack-Knack...
And please go comment on the new Paul and Sanja video if you’re able. It’s off to a slow start – probably due to going up on the Sunday of a Bank Holiday weekend. Also, I’m not sure whether our audience sustains a weekly schedule (for videos anyway - Bubblegun and BYAMPOD are pretty consistent). Every time we’ve experimented with doing that, it’s diminishing returns. But... a touch of interaction with the audience will give it a better chance.
But! Our main goal at the minute is just building up a back catalogue for people to get to know us, and – by god – it makes all the difference being somewhere that the audience is seeing the content they signed up for. It's worth all the views in the world.
Oh! We forgot to include it in the video, but we also got some postcards from the caves. Leave a comment here if you’d like one.
In other news… there’s a bit in the new video where Sanja almost slips over (and, inevitably, I laugh uproariously). That part became a little less funny afterwards, because that evening Sanja really did slip over, and badly twisted her ankle. It swelled up like a watermelon, and we thought we were going to have to take her for an X-Ray. She spoke to a nurse and – thankfully - it isn’t broken, but she can’t really do much. Just as well we hadn’t planned to film this week.
We are doing our ghost hunt next week, and hoping she’ll be okay for that. If not, I’m hiring her a mobility scooter.
I also want to apologise that I’ve been a bit lax in replying to comments of late. The weekly schedule - on top of two podcasts - has been demanding (and that's all on top of day job stuff) and it’s just hard to keep up. I do love reading everything though. And it's not just you lot - I'm behind on text messages and emails as well.
At some point, we’ll pull back slightly to a more manageable schedule with vids, and I’ll have a tad more headspace. We also need to carve out some room for a couple of bigger videos – I do kind of wish we’d been able to give the Hellfire Caves a bit more time and done a deeper dive. A bit more of a documentary feel. I kept finding out more stuff once we came back, and we did almost consider going back to do some more filming today. But, alas, Sanja’s foot didn’t really allow it. Sanja thinks we should do a follow-up video podcast in which we discuss it all in a bit more depth, buuuut… let’s see how well the main video does.
I mentioned we'll do a Biffo's Brain this week, so we'll go for our usual Thursday. Pencil it in!
And I think that's all the housekeeping. I'll leave you all alone now to enjoy your barbecues, or county fairs, or whatever it is you're up to today. Have a good one, gang.

Oh, and if either of you hurt yourselves again, there's a couple of physios in the comments (me and my partner) haha! Get well soon, Sanja!

If you've got a postcard free then I'd love to have one, but I've already had one before so please give it to someone who's never had one! >.<
