New Tea With Alice: Jackie Kashian plus some upcoming things!
🕑 Added 2021-01-29 03:07:17 +0000 UTCHallo lovely people! I have things coming up! Exciting things! I need to get better at announcing things, or I need a secretary to help me get around to getting a secretary) but for now, here’s a list:
ETA: Oh! And there’s a new The Last Post in your podcatcher NOW! The first of the monthly new format 2021 post apocalyptic post post!
I’m on the BBC Radio News Quiz panel this week, rather than just writing for it. It was a very early start slash late night, with a 2am call time and a 3am performance time. I decided to stay awake until the show and I definitely suffered around the 4am mark. But I never know whether to try to get only a little bit of sleep - that can be quite pressurised.
I have gigs coming up in Sydney, including some charity shows and the 100th episode of A Rational Fear. I’ll also need to line up some preview shows because:
For Melbourne people, I’ll be doing a short run at MICF this year. Tickets will be on sale soon, but it should be 2-18 April, 6.15 at ... um... the Mercure? On Russel st? Some hotel venue. Details TBC, alright?
Obviously, everything contingent on people in all of the states staying covid safe, and anyone being willing to go project aerosols in a group in lockdown-traumatised Melbourne ever again. I’ve pushed for some concessions from the festival, as they don’t usually let you film, but they’ve agreed to let me livestream here, for people who can’t or can’t bear to be there in person. Again details TBC.
ANYWAY
I definitely don’t want to short change Jackie Kashian, because this podcast was a real pleasure. I admire her very much. She’s one of the sanest people going around. A real hard working American road dog, we talked about zoom writing, the flaws of the rationalist approach, online dating, pick up artistry, handsome men doing cartwheels, romance novels, women’s literature and it was all fabulous.
I recommend this episode.

As ever, if you like any of my work, please share it around with people you think might like it. It’s the most helpful thing, really.
I hope you’re all as well as you can be and as busy as you want to be with nutritious and interesting things.

I am struggling to live up to my previous podcast consumption (primarily because I’m not commuting!) but I really liked this episode and the Richard Makim one.

Really enjoyed this conversation between Jackie and Alice.
Really looking forward to listening to this one. Jackie Kashian is one of the straight-up funniest comedians in the business, IMO.
Your energy & ability to perform at weird hours of the night never fails to amaze me! I find cat-napping a few hours before helps - say, just after tea-time, so you've build a sleep store for staying up in the wee hours. & congratulations on joining the News Quiz - the gradual take-over by the Bugle cast continues apace. Who knows where it may end? :-)
I'm glad you have some gigs coming up. Things are slowly returning to normal. The pandemic hit like a ferocious storm, suddenly, and mostly unexpectedly. The recovery will take time and move at a maddeningly slow pace. But it will come, and any sign that the recovery is underway is certainly welcome. Keep up the good work, stay safe, and thanks for making the world, even a covid world, a brighter and happier place.
