Hallo video-level Patreons, here's a copy of the instagram live I did with Laura Davis for our Talk Show, "Inside and Alive"
Let me know if I should do more of these, because normally my nightly show evaporates into the ether after 24 hours, which is quite nice, but I know some of you don't have or use instagram, so I'm open to ...

Inside and Alive! With laura - one of my favourite people.
I just finished recording a quad of last posts with Wil Anderson who is a delight to work with - he did the most out of the gate research and prep of any of my cohosts (apart from Josh Gondelman) despite being probably the most successful career wise. I guess that’s how you get ...

The brilliant Sam has stepped up and she has agreed to help me begin producing these again. Here’s a picture of some early tests. I’ve had a few requests to get the “no-one’s going to die / we’re all going to die” necklaces back available for people and was a bit stuck as the lovely artist who was helping me before had to stop produc...

Having a day off yesterday was important - I was absolutely wiped out. It reminded me of a thing that’s probably important. I learned it while grieving (so educational!).
It’s totally possible to feel normal when everything is chaotic and uncertain or awful around you - there’s an innate pragmatism that lets a lot of us get on with t...

I've known Emma since we were at Cambridge together, in the same College. I adore her - she's lovely, funny and brilliant, worked as a NASA scientist, and is now starting her own Science Education project. If the current times have proved anything, it's that the whole world is pretty bad at understanding science, so I'm thrilled that Emma is tur...

As ever, head over to @aliterative to watch it in 40 minutes or any time over the next 24 hours. I am working on ways to make it accessible on multiple platforms for those of you who don’t like Instagram!

Raconteur, gentleman, investigator.
It’ll go live in half an hour and be available in my instagram stories for 24 hours afterwards.

Is anyone else having the ankle-tap-to-your momentum of lockdown finding memories of people and emotions you’ve busied and lifed and run yourself away from clutching you at odd moments of the day and nightmare?
ETA: it’s less melancholy than just getting hijacked by memory lane multiple times a day like the way they do ‘nam flashbac...

I spoke to Neil Gaiman on my instagram live about the release of Savage on Amazon Prime. For those of you who missed it, or would like to hear it again here it is in audio form (early release announcement to Patreonites), including vamping about tech difficulties and audio of me blushing. Because of tech difficulties on the NZ wifi, I was sad no...

(The picture above is a screenshot I took of a nice Instagram post from when I was doing Savage at the Soho Theatre in London in January)
Savage is coming out today! I asked Zoe Coombs Marr, and she said hers (the brilliant Bossy Bottom) went up about 10am AEST on her due date, so I have about an hour and ten minutes (at the time of starti...

With Bec Petraitis, whose job I did for like a month and ended up making TrollPlay to get through the trauma. We’ll be talking about copping abuse from strangers on behalf of other people, her production company, Stupid Old Studios and a bunch of IT tips as well as tips on entertaining yourself.

Hallo lovely Patreonites! I have finished my solo quarantine as of today. I went for a walk and a little run - I could feel my eyeball muscles stretching at seeing the horizon, it was so very very nice.
A lot of what I found hard work about being in full quarantine was the combination of no people and no outdoors - I feel so much more hum...

Dr Ash is the cohost on my (our) super interesting bestselling (bestsellingly free downloaded) Audible documentaries. I love talking to him, so swing by to watch it live or it will remain available at the top of my Instagram page for the next 24 hours, and then it will evaporate into the past.
Fun!

For today’s live show. The “live” stories stick around at the top of my Instagram page for 24 hours, and I’m letting them evaporate after that, because it’s nice to replicate that live ephemeral thing sometimes.
