GBA 100 pt 1

Summary: Part 1 of The GBA 100th Episode Special: To celebrate 100 episodes of the show I gathered a bunch of my favourite people together in a room and made them sit and listen to a special live episode of the show. There was talk and there was food (including a cake). In part 2 they’ll even be some live music from the GBA house band A Room Full of Friends. Part 1 features clips from the first 100 episodes, focusing first on the way that doing Getting Better Acquainted has influenced and changed my life, then moving into more general examples of what GBA conversations can be, and then getting into how the show has developed its own internal logic and has begun to create itself. It features messages from fellow podcasts I Like You and Risk!. Chillpak Hollywood Hour also gets focused on quite a lot. The conversation I had with Phil Leirness about his film The Truth Is Out There is was an interesting episode not just in itself but also in relation to how GBA works. The clips include childbirth, death, the time I poured coke on a friends white shirt because I thought it would be funny, dealing with anger, life during the Northern Irish "Troubles", epiphanies and lots and lots more. These episodes were recorded in January 2013. Part 2 comes out on Friday.
