Great episode, thanks both of you!

@Olly You mentioned at 37:30 possibly doing an IH documentary, but "if we can justify the outlay". Why not consider setting up a kickstarter or something?

[Giles]

I don't particularly like kickstarters, if we do do this, it will be because we want to as a brand, not have customers contribute to something we probably should do anyway…

[EdH]

Understood. Personally I wouldn't have a problem contributing to something like that. I've given to fund other film projects just so that there was something out there about one of my niche interests made by people who understand that thing, and that might help that niche grow.

[Giles]

Thank you @EdH

[Weft 4 Dead]

Not yet listened but wanted to echo the crowdfund statement, just so you know it’s at least an option @Giles .

Look forward to listening to this later.

Sad season 2 is over already. Hope we don't have to wait too long for season 3!

I've thought for a while that @Olly should turn his hand to documentaries. He really brings the best out of his subjects and draws me into stuff way beyond my usual interests and experiences but still brings something fresh where our interests coincide.

[Olly]

Thank you @EdH - it's a lovely idea, but I stand with @Giles in his views. I can assure you that the doc is something we're all aligned on doing, and when the time is right it will get made.

And thank you @ARNC for your kind words. I'll do my best with it as soon as we get the green light.

I never looked that good in my 68.

Any word on season 3 yet?

[Alex]

Not yet, but watch this space

I hope Ollie is going to be the host for S3–he did such an awesome job on S1-2.

Forgive me if this is the wrong space to discuss this but as a relatively new fan of the brand I've been catching up on the IH history through this podcast. I listened to this episode with Paula last night and she mentioned at that time that you were getting Japanese lessons, @Alex

As a self-taught learner for about a year and my third trip to Japan last month to practice and immerse, I'm curious to hear if you are continuing your tuition and how your language journey is going? I found my last experience in Japan to be deeply rewarding even speaking broken Japanese so it'd be intriguing to hear how your study has effected your visits.

がんばってください!
