Jul 28, 202400:24:29Tap to summarizeWell hello there, FHH listener. Lynn here, with news of a new podcast.Sadly, I'm not here to announce a new series of FHH. Though I know we do all miss talking at you, Chesney is still wrapped in his mystical cape of adorability, Neil is still working his fingers to the bone in his wee cupboard under the stairs, and I'm here in blistering hot Tweddley manor with my icepack and my chickens.But I do want to tell you about a new podcast you might be interested in and so I’ve included an episode to get you in the mood - the mood to subscribe that is. You can find out more at mitspodcast.com.You may remember way back, Neil, Chesney and I talked with Sephe Haven who used to be the number one Escort in America. Well, turns out, Sephe kept index cards of all of her clients and I persuaded her that that might be an interesting wee thing to hear about. Do you know why? Because I’m nosey. Thats why.It's silly, and a little odd at times, but to be honest I bloody love it because every week I hear stories about people I'm unlikely to meet, having experiences I'm unlikely ever to be involved in, and I get to learn what the world looks like from various perspectives that are not like mine. And that is something I always want from a podcast.Also, Chesney has recorded the signature tune so the adorability factor is right up there.So I thought I'd send you this message to let you know about it. We already have one listener, and if you joined then we’d have two. And if you like it, pass it on to a friend. I can’t imagine how excited I’d be - though not in a sexy way - if we had a threesome.You can find out more at mitspodcast.com. This is a public episode.

With a little help from my friends.
May 2, 202300:38:27Tap to summarizeWe’re happy and sad this week, Listener. Happy to be back blethering our own brand of nonsense, hilarity, and occasional wisdom and sad because it’s for the very last time.After four years of talking together, the team has decided to move on but before they do, Neil would like to take the opportunity to insert some sound effects, like a horn and Dan Dan Duh, Lynn might mention how she’s still mortified by the Debbie McGee episode that never aired and Ches might finally get to tell his Bobby Davros story.Mostly though, the team talks about their unlikely friendship and how the end of one thing is only really the beginning of another, and Chesney, of course, ends with a wonderful cover of his favorite song.FHH was a podcast in which hosts, Lynn, Neil, and Chesney, would coerce a fascinating human for a proverb or saying they chose to live by. Then, Lynn bullied them into telling an impromptu story, Neil skulked around periodically spouting ‘interesting facts’ and Chesney wooed them with his version of their favorite song.www.fhhpodcast.com This is a public episode.
