This episode is a live, real-time ramble, making the most of the freedom of the podcasting medium and allowing Alan to share his love of the countryside with his listeners.
It's Alan's favourite day in the calendar year - and he has planned for this episode to be recorded live at a big event. However, a call to Lynn to locate his accreditation disrupts the special day he was hoping for.
Alan hosts an AMA or Ask Me Anything session having invited burning questions from Twitter, Facebook and his local paper. Nothing is off the table - you want to ask it, Alan's got to answer it.
Themed around love and relationships, in this episode Alan talks about how to find love, pre-date grooming regimes and how to make a date go swimmingly.
Alan sets out on a run to record another 'as-live' podcast en route, although a thunder storm soon disrupts his plans. Back at home he reflects on the power of silence while holed up safely with the storm raging outside.
Alan is out rambling again and talks about how the great outdoors can affect how you feel, as he ponders the legacy he will leave as a thinker and a writer.
Trapped in the house by his dog Seldom, Alan introduces himself, his Oasthouse and his new podcast. It's a chance to get to know the real Alan. It's also a useful platform to correct some rumours and lies, and to settle some scores.
