  Hello there, Joe here. I've got a ton of updates about
• 0:04
  Hamster and so I figured it would be easier to do a mini
• 0:08
  episode rather than plaguing your social media feeds as I
• 0:11
  usually do. So in three episodes time we
• 0:16
  have the one thousandth Hamster episode celebration coming out.
• 0:22
  A massively indulgent, very funny, I'm going to say
• 0:28
  celebrity. Feel that.
• 0:29
  I mean, there's a couple in there, but you know all your
• 0:31
  favorite hamster celebrities as well.
• 0:34
  I use the word celebrity in inverted commas.
• 0:37
  Of course, all your favorite hamster participants.
• 0:42
  They always say that just coming together to celebrate 1000
• 0:45
  episodes in various wonderful, funny, touching, just brilliant
• 0:50
  ways. I've I asked for clips and boy
• 0:52
  did I get clips. It's a wonderful episode.
• 0:54
  I hope you enjoy it. Yeah, so 1000 episodes.
• 0:58
  My God, that means you've got a lot of scrolling to do.
• 1:00
  You know, if you want to go back and listen to this from the
• 1:02
  start. Secondly, I am starting a new
• 1:07
  branch of hamster soon. The xhamster files.
• 1:11
  If you know, you know it's yes, it's rude.
• 1:14
  Yes, it's Hamster, but it's about The X-Files.
• 1:18
  I've got 5 participants there who will be covering the series
• 1:23
  from beginning to end, episode at a time, sort of hour long
• 1:26
  episodes. Exactly what you would expect
• 1:28
  from Hamster critique and laughter and shared experiences
• 1:32
  of watching the show then and now.
• 1:35
  We've got 5 episodes in the can already and it's already turning
• 1:38
  out fantastically. If you're a fan of The X-Files,
• 1:41
  check it out. That will be going in the main
• 1:43
  hamster feed, but coming out of the main hamster feed into its
• 1:48
  own separate podcast will be the hamster book clubs, of which
• 1:53
  there's now about 100 episodes. So I'll be republishing.
• 1:57
  I think it's quite hard for people to find the book clubs
• 2:00
  sometimes because they're sort of lost amongst the commentaries
• 2:02
  and the Strictly's and because they are sort of a podcast in
• 2:05
  their own right. So I'm going to be republishing
• 2:08
  all of those. I've got some exciting
• 2:10
  interviews sorted out to sort of kick it off.
• 2:13
  I've got a brand new artwork from the wonderfully talented
• 2:17
  Dad Pin. I've seen some bits of that
• 2:19
  coming through already and it looks gorgeous.
• 2:21
  So Hamster Book Club will be a podcast in its own right and
• 2:25
  I'll be able to celebrate all the wonderful people that read
• 2:28
  the books and commentate on them in their own podcast, which
• 2:32
  would be really, really exciting.
• 2:34
  The hamster Patreon continues apace.
• 2:38
  We've got our first patron meet up in London in September,
• 2:43
  September the 13th, I think on a Saturday, but we're still doing
• 2:47
  our watch alongs, we're still doing our socials.
• 2:50
  So it's a wonderful community. I've, I've said this a couple of
• 2:53
  Times Now, but I just want to reiterate like it's a beautiful
• 2:56
  community of people that come together and talk about all the
• 3:00
  things that they love a wonderful space.
• 3:03
  And yet we're sort of branching out now with socials over Zoom
• 3:07
  and socials in person. And so if you want to feel, you
• 3:10
  know, be part of that community and please just jump in.
• 3:14
  You can find it on Patreon. If you put in a hamster with a
• 3:16
  blunt pen knife, if that artwork is unmistakable.
• 3:20
  But as well as that, you know, all the early releases that I
• 3:22
  put on there as well. So I've recently put on a ton of
• 3:26
  book clubs. Dylan Rees's Myths and Legends,
• 3:29
  Paul Ebst's Book of the Steel Mean Streets by Terence Dicks.
• 3:34
  Yeah, so I've also put out, let's see, Pyramids of Mars, all
• 3:39
  four episodes of those with the glorious Robert Valentine, both
• 3:42
  episodes of The Awakening with Jack Koya and Stephen B.
• 3:48
  What else have we got here? Going through the list?
• 3:50
  Forgive me. Oh yes, Paul Dunn's gorgeous
• 3:54
  Revenge of the Side Men is a opening commentary that will hit
• 3:57
  the main fee soon, as well as the Strictlys that will go on
• 4:02
  there early. So yeah, I basically put out
• 4:04
  tons of early releases of commentaries that are recorded
• 4:07
  book clubs and Strictlys. So you get all of that, plus you
• 4:10
  get to sort of be a part of that community and all the fun things
• 4:13
  we do there. So as usual, a quick thank you
• 4:17
