Regular listeners to our show may be forgiven for having been sitting in the living room, worried sick, counting flowers on the wall, smoking cigarettes (health risks notwithstanding) and watching Captain Kangaroo (on DVD obviously). Now, here we come, bedraggled, the worse for wear, our key scratching at the lock, our clompy boots not the best for tiptoeing through this house of lies.
We make our way, whispering in urgent tones, clearly assigning the blame for our misadventures amongst ourselves. And then we catch the eye of the listener, stone faced, curlers in hair, dressing gown cinched too tightly. We realise, the jig is up. We are going to have to explain where we've been since October 2015.
Okay, yes, fine we can bring the regular listener a bouquet of 2018 Summer Predictions, we can promise to do better in the future, but the damage is done. The rgular listener was thinking that we'd succumbed to podfade out there, and yet, here we are with all our 80s nostalgia, and year shows, like nothing happened. The regular listener knows that Ian hates talking about our real lives, but this is a special exception. So, we settle down for this "Not an Episode" Metasode of the 80s Kids that seeks to begin setting expectations for the years ahead.
After that, maybe we can get back to business, almost, as usual.
