    I sent him an email. He hopes to have the last episode out this week.

    Well we did all tell him a couple of weeks back when he was struggling to take things steady that he didn’t need to do weekly episodes

    I was about to say this...well said ...it’s not a subscription service just another sufferer doing their best.

    If Gary has a job as a well I think one a month would be a push!

    Hi all. Sooooooooooo sorry for the radio silence. This past month has been my boomiest and bustiest yet in my attempt to do 'some' work. It all makes sense on paper, but when put into practise it's not been as plain sailing as I'd hoped. So the podcast kept being put back (among other things). Anyhow...

    Episode 10, the last in this series, is now live.

    It's a highlights reel of the Westminster debate where there were so many passionate speeches from MPs. The full debate is more than 3 hours long, so this episode distils it to a pithy 20 minutes!!!

    Search The ME Show in iTunes, Spotify and most podcast platforms or head to www.meassociation.org.uk/podcast

    And there'll be a second series later this year.

    Thanks for listening.

    Please look after yourself, @Gary Burgess, and make that a priority rather than the podcast. I think most of us here have made the mistake of pushing ourselves too hard and it's not always possible to recover from it in the long term.

    article on MEA website:
    "Gary Burgess reflects on series one of The ME Show and shares some of the feedback from listeners | 14 August 2018

    Over the past year I’ve learned to spot multiple clues that a crash is coming. Among them, that I can get very emotional about almost anything. A silly TV commercial. A driver letting somebody out at a junction. Even listening to the birds singing.

    [​IMG]

    They can all make me cry and I know that I have overdone things, and that it’s time to stop.

    So, you can probably imagine what state reading reviews of The ME Show podcast series has left me in!

    Each week over the past three months it’s been my privilege to publish a different episode of the podcast, and then to receive messages on social media, online forums and direct by email from strangers around the world."

    "I love that series one is over, because I can now focus on series two! Watch this space… but expect something later this year. And that means, as one reviewer said, it may help somebody else with M.E. feel just a little less alone."

    Maybe they don't want to comment until the correction's been made?

    Maybe - or they could just like it to let me know it's been seen and noted. Or I could just stop being an impatient pedant... :speechless::whistle:

    [UPDATE: Tis fixed!]
