About this episode

Steve Otis Gunn reflects on the show's fourth season and shares insights into its production and future changes.

Steve empties the whiteboard, clears his head, and has an honest conversation about what making this podcast actually feels like from the inside — the burnout, the uncertainty, the ads he hates, and why he's seriously considering living in the woods. This is a bonus solo episode featuring no guest, one very good cup of coffee, and more honesty than most podcasts manage in a full series. A full rundown of every podcast Steve actually listens to — from Memory Lane and Parenting Hell to The Rest Is Politics, Louis Theroux, What Did You Do Yesterday, and why Bill Maher is simultaneously brilliant and infuriating Why the end of a season brings on the funk — and what it's like running a podcast entirely solo with no producer, no team, and no idea who's listening The comedy character he's been developing in his head for years: a sound engineer with a broken mixing desk, a Mick Hucknall lyric, and a show provisionally titled Knob Jokes The treacherous taxi ride at 3,000 metres in the Bolivian Andes to reach the schoolhouse where Che Guevara was killed — and the song he eventually wrote about it Find us on social media — links on the About page.
