[...] If you’ve been following recently here are a few things you’d already know: In January I pulled out of school. In February Elena and I were amazed by Brokeback Mountain. In March cyclones Larry and Glenda caught Australia in a pincer attack, while the Ricky Gervais Podcast hit a bit of a slump. And in April Shoham and Michel got married, I switched web hosts and Jon Hicks released some new designs that rocked my world. What will the future hold? Well, I will be on the job market soon (knock on wood) so there might be a story or two gestating there. I’ve also got a couple of film and TV-related posts in the works that I plan to finish up and roll out the door in the next week or so, and the new Placebo is just so fantastic that its story must be told.

Interesting. I read a comment somewhere—maybe on iTunes?—that Ricky Gervais sounded tired in the first few episodes of Series 2. Perhaps they did need a break. In hindsight it does seem like they rushed through to the second series, although when it was announced I thought they had just been playing it cool to see what kind of numbers they could drum up by episode 12. Suppose I assumed they had always planned to keep going if it was rating well. Monkey News… Series 1 will be podcast folklore one day.

I think that the second series has been 50/50… there’s been the odd good episode but some have been terrible…. i dont know what it is, i think they should have taken a break after series one and not gone straight into it… the fact there’s no more monkey news doesnt help!
