We're trying to do like a lot more of these, so it doesn't really feel like there's such a gap between seasons. We're still giving you the good stuff, but it's just a little bit shorter. We also have a live show coming up at the Tabernacle in West London on November the 7th. It's a post-US election show. It is also the launch for the Origin Story books, the first three of which will be out in the shops. Bye then. Cheerio, guys. See you next week. Origin Story was written and presented by Ian Dunt and Dorian Linsky. The producer was me, Simon Williams. Music was by Jade Bailey. Artwork was by James Parrott and Misha Welsh. The group editor was Andrew Harrison and the executive producer was Martin Beutosh. Origin Story is a Podmasters production.
