.@nosuchthing are doing a podcast crossover with @GuiltFemPod and @jrawson asked me to get material for social media so here it is here’s the live tweeting go
this is some promotional material inside the venue
so this is the life what its like backstage it’s a whole other world than from what the public sees #behind the scenes
its six thirty and already a huge queue is forming outside the venue
this is holly(ie?) or molly I couldnt really hear
she is the stage manager and you can could on her to go make the show happen and go on

james left

some more backstage antics this place is always a hive of activity like a swarm of bees paddling under the water
the time is 6:45
the green room has to be a luxurius place for all the stars of the podcast to recline and rest before the show
these are pillows and they make seats comfier for celebrities
podcaster annie here fetching some water to drink
apologies her name is anne
devotees will recognise it’s @andrewhunterm from the marsh report and qi (writing not actually on it)
and @eggshaped must be excited for the show look at his smiling 🤪
sadly i cant see the show because the technology to make it is in the way
one of the facts is about skirts but i couldnt hear the rest
oh yes here are the toilets (men)
they’re pretty good
deep sinks which minimise splashback
ok true story I left the tech booth to go to the loo and am now locked out
guess thats the end of the live tweeting
and the show is over!
i assume I don’t know I’m still locked out
time to relax with our favourite post gig meal a non alcoholic beer and non alcoholic chocolate
thanks to edgar our water sponsor remember their ain’t no better water than edgars water it’s the tip top liquid for your mouth

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
sorry i know these kind of tweets are really annoying but i’m rewatching the Newsroom and it’s so damn fucking goddamn good
and then you go online and there are all these snipey articles about why it didn’t work and 100% the only failing component of that show was its audience
we’re all stupid for not appreciating it more
I’m watching season 2 and I know exactly how it all goes but it still gives me heart attacks
after 9 years of researching for QI the one fact I can't get my head around is that this symbol DOES NOT MEAN THE PRODUCT IS RECYCLABLE
it's some greenwashing bullshit that companies can pay to put on their packaging and say they contributed to european recycling efforts
i have never ONCE seen that explained on any packaging and it's so painfully obvious that companies use it as a loophole knowing that people will glance at it and not know any better.
This piece uses natural light and warped perspective to throw the human creative instinct into harsh relief, forcing introspection into the metaphysical nature of its subjects, the viewer and art itself.
The artist, at this stage in his career in the later throws of insanity, broke new artistic ground with this masterpiece, combining traditional realism, impressionism, surrealism, photorealism, protorealism, abstract, and pop styles that fearlessly asks the ultimate questions
