With a big (BIG), huge (HUGE) first episode.
Here’s the scene…
It was a bit of a balmy January day in Los Angeles. We tried to make normal conversation in the car on the way to our secret location but it was pointless. We could think of nothing else but 1) is this the right day and 2) will our recording equipment really work when we needed it the most. (Okay, there were other things we stressed thought about, too, but these were the only ones we could verbalize.)
We arrived and informed the hosts that we would be waiting for them near the door.
A few minutes later -- I could see him walking down the hall directly toward us.
“Oh god,” I thought. “Here we go…”
Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you our interview with…
Martin Clunes and Philippa Braithwaite.
We hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it.
A big (BIG), huge (HUGE) THANK YOU to Martin and Philippa. You honestly could not have been more pleasant, more fun to interview and hang out with. We were, as they say, quite chuffed. ;)
To LindaG who never stopped believing this was possible from day one and never stopped knocking on that door…you did it!
And thank goodness the recording equipment worked (thanks for the assist, Martin!) because we’re still not quite sure this interview actually happened…
Welcome to Series 7, everyone. Cheers!

Oh, my! This was the absolute BEST way to begin your Season 7 podcast series! What a thrill it must have been to visit with Martin and Philippa in person. They were both delightful and a pleasure to listen to! I'm looking forward to the next one. Rock the Doc ROCKS!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela! So glad you liked the interview. It really was a thrill to meet them and talk to them about the show. We'll have a podcast coming up soon about our experience with them doing the podcast. They were truly lovely and fun.
DeleteWell done! This is the best(nicest) surprise on a cold January morning. You bothmust be walking on air. Thanks for such a delight
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carole! So glad you enjoyed the interview. We're happy it's recorded because we still can't believe the interview happened. :) Stay tuned for more fun! Thanks for listening!
DeleteNice interview. I was thrilled to hear Philippa say there will be a Season 8 AND a Season 9!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jake! We were equally thrilled to hear about TWO more seasons. More fun to come so stay tuned!
DeleteSuper great. I really enjoyed that. Good job with the interview.
ReplyDeleteHi Oliver! So sorry for the late response - I didn't see any comments until today. We're so glad you enjoyed the interview. Weren't they great? We could have stayed and chatted with them for hours and hours. Lovely people. Thanks for your kind words!
DeleteOh my goodness - super! So proud of you both for remaining coherent and professional - I might have struggled with that. Thank you! And Pam is right... Rock the Doc Rocks! I've been eagerly awaiting your S7 podcasts.... of course that involved eagerly awaiting S7. And how encouraging to hear S8 and S9 from Philippa, rather than all those rumors which just leave you hoping. Hooray and good job, ladies!
ReplyDeleteHello Gabrielle! Like I said to Oliver I'm so sorry for the late reply. These comments slipped right past me. Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad you enjoyed the interview. We're hoping we can interview them again at some point because we still have so many things to chat about! Hope you're enjoying the Season 7 podcasts so far!
