  Hello
• 0:06
  and
• 0:06
  welcome.
• 0:07
  This
• 0:08
  isn't
• 0:08
  a
• 0:09
  normal
• 0:09
  episode
• 0:09
  of
• 0:10
  the
• 0:10
  Sheppertonian.
• 0:10
  I'm
• 0:11
  not
• 0:11
  usually
• 0:11
  the
• 0:12
  centre
• 0:12
  of
• 0:12
  attention
• 0:13
  and
• 0:13
  frankly,
• 0:14
  I
• 0:14
  prefer
• 0:14
  it
• 0:15
  that
• 0:15
  way.
• 0:15
  But
• 0:16
  today
• 0:16
  I
• 0:16
  wanted
• 0:17
  to
• 0:17
  do
• 0:17
  something
• 0:18
  a
• 0:18
  bit
• 0:18
  different.
• 0:19
  So
• 0:19
  if
• 0:19
  you're
• 0:19
  listening
• 0:19
  to
• 0:20
  this,
• 0:20
  you're
• 0:20
  officially
• 0:21
  part
• 0:22
  of
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  Sheppertonian
• 0:23
  community.
• 0:24
  That's
• 0:24
  a
• 0:24
  fact.
• 0:25
  There's
• 0:26
  no
• 0:26
  badge,
• 0:26
  there's
• 0:26
  no
• 0:27
  initiation
• 0:27
  ritual,
• 0:28
  but
• 0:28
  you
• 0:28
  are
• 0:29
  in.
• 0:29
  And
• 0:30
  because
• 0:30
  you've
• 0:30
  been
• 0:30
  part
• 0:31
  of
• 0:31
  this
• 0:32
  little
• 0:32
  local
• 0:32
  experiment
• 0:33
  this
• 0:34
  year,
• 0:34
  I
• 0:34
  thought
• 0:34
  I'd
• 0:35
  take
• 0:35
  a
• 0:35
  moment
• 0:35
  to
• 0:35
  look
• 0:35
  back
• 0:36
  at
• 0:36
  what
• 0:36
  you
• 0:36
  have
• 0:37
  helped
• 0:37
  build.
• 0:38
  Not
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  big
• 0:38
  personal
• 0:39
  victory
• 0:39
  parade,
• 0:40
  more
• 0:40
  a
• 0:40
  here's
• 0:41
  how
• 0:41
  this
• 0:41
  thing
• 0:41
  grew,
• 0:42
  took
• 0:42
  on
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  life
• 0:43
  of
• 0:43
  its
• 0:43
  own,
• 0:43
  and
• 0:44
  occasionally
• 0:44
  surprised
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  life
• 0:45
  out
• 0:45
  of
• 0:45
  me.
• 0:46
  Whether
• 0:46
  you
• 0:46
  arrived
• 0:47
  through
• 0:47
  this
• 0:47
  podcast
• 0:48
  at
• 0:48
  the
• 0:48
  weekly
• 0:49
  what's
• 0:49
  on
• 0:49
  newsletter,
• 0:50
  or
• 0:51
  even
• 0:51
  via
• 0:51
  a
• 0:51
  neighbour
• 0:52
  or
• 0:52
  a
• 0:52
  colleague
• 0:52
  forwarding
• 0:53
  an
• 0:53
  email
• 0:53
  saying,
• 0:54
  you
• 0:54
  need
• 0:54
  to
• 0:54
  hear
• 0:55
  this
• 0:55
  or
• 0:55
  you
• 0:55
  need
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  read
• 0:56
  this,
• 0:56
  you
• 0:57
  have
• 0:57
  shaped
• 0:57
  the
• 0:57
  Sheppertonian
• 0:58
  more
• 0:58
  than
• 0:58
  you
• 0:58
  probably
• 0:59
  realise.
• 0:59
  So
• 1:00
  if
• 1:00
  you've
• 1:00
  got
• 1:00
  a
• 1:00
  cuppa,
• 1:01
  brilliant.
• 1:01
  If
• 1:02
  you're
• 1:02
  out
• 1:02
  walking
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  dog
• 1:03
  or
• 1:03
  wandering
• 1:03
  around
• 1:03
  Sainsbury's,
• 1:04
  also
• 1:04
  brilliant.
• 1:05
  This
• 1:06
  is
• 1:06
  just
• 1:06
  a
• 1:06
  quick
• 1:07
  catch
• 1:07
  up
• 1:07
  about
• 1:07
  the
• 1:08
  year
• 1:08
  we've
• 1:08
  had
• 1:08
  together
• 1:09
  and
• 1:09
  what
• 1:10
  this
• 1:10
  tiny
• 1:10
  corner
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  audio
• 1:11
  and
• 1:12
  community
• 1:12
  has
• 1:12
  become.
• 1:17
  One
• 1:17
  of
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  biggest
• 1:18
  changes
• 1:18
  this
• 1:18
  year
• 1:19
  was
• 1:19
  something
• 1:19
  you
• 1:19
  might
• 1:19
  not
• 1:19
  have
• 1:20
  noticed
• 1:20
  directly,
• 1:21
  but
• 1:21
  you
• 1:21
  will
• 1:21
  have
• 1:21
  definitely
• 1:22
  felt
• 1:22
  it.
• 1:23
  It
• 1:23
  actually
• 1:23
  started
• 1:24
  back
• 1:24
  in
• 1:24
  July
• 1:24
  with
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  interview
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  recorded
• 1:26
  with
• 1:26
  Andy
• 1:26
  Hill
• 1:27
  on
• 1:27
  D'Oyly
• 1:27
  Carte
• 1:28
  Island.
• 1:29
  That
• 1:29
  was
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  first
• 1:29
  time
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  really
• 1:30
  leaned
• 1:31
  into
• 1:31
  a
• 1:31
  more
• 1:31
  narrative
• 1:32
  style
• 1:33
  of
• 1:33
  storytelling.
• 1:34
  So
• 1:34
  instead
• 1:34
  of
• 1:35
  me
• 1:35
  asking
• 1:35
  a
• 1:35
  question
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  you
• 1:36
  hearing
• 1:37
  one
• 1:37
  long
• 1:37
  chunk
• 1:37
  in
• 1:38
  reply,
• 1:38
  I
• 1:39
  began
• 1:39
  shaping
• 1:39
  episodes
• 1:40
  more
• 1:40
  like
• 1:40
  little
• 1:41
  stories
• 1:41
  with
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  guest
• 1:42
  at
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  centre
• 1:43
  of
• 1:43
  them.
• 1:43
  And
• 1:43
  then
• 1:43
  later
• 1:44
  in
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  summer,
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  tried
• 1:45
  it
• 1:45
  again
• 1:45
  with
• 1:45
  Bishop
• 1:45
  Duppas
• 1:46
  Bowls
• 1:46
  Club
• 1:47
  episode.
• 1:47
  I
• 1:47
  started
• 1:48
  weaving
• 1:48
  my
• 1:48
  voice
• 1:49
  in
• 1:49
  as
• 1:49
  more
• 1:49
  of
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  guide
• 1:50
  than
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  host,
• 1:51
  letting
• 1:51
  their
• 1:51
  world
• 1:52
  take
• 1:52
  the
• 1:52
  lead.
• 1:53
  And
• 1:53
  I
• 1:54
  like
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  feel
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  it.
• 1:54
  It
• 1:55
  sounded
• 1:55
  more
• 1:55
  alive.
• 1:56
  More
• 1:57
  like
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  village
• 1:57
  itself,
• 1:57
  in
• 1:58
  fact.
• 1:58
  But
• 1:58
  it
• 1:58
  was
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  episode
• 1:59
  with
• 1:59
  Steve
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  lock
• 2:00
  Keeper
• 2:00
  that
• 2:01
  really
• 2:01
  made
• 2:01
  it
• 2:01
  click
• 2:02
  for
• 2:02
  me.
• 2:03
  Something
• 2:03
  about
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  way
• 2:03
  his
• 2:04
  story
• 2:04
  flowed,
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  rhythm
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  river,
• 2:06
  perhaps
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  atmosphere.
• 2:08
  It
• 2:08
  just
• 2:08
  worked.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  feedback
• 2:10
  I
• 2:10
  got
• 2:10
  afterwards
• 2:11
  was
• 2:11
  incredible.
• 2:12
  Nobody
• 2:12
  said
• 2:13
  anything
• 2:13
  about,
• 2:13
  oh,
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  structure
• 2:14
  was
• 2:15
  different
• 2:15
  or
• 2:15
  lovely
• 2:16
  use
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  narrative
• 2:17
  devices
• 2:18
  because.
• 2:18
  Because,
• 2:19
  well,
• 2:19
  frankly,
• 2:20
  normal
• 2:20
  people
• 2:20
  don't
• 2:21
  talk
• 2:21
  like
• 2:21
  that.
• 2:21
  It's
• 2:21
  just
• 2:22
  us
• 2:22
  geeky
• 2:22
  producers.
• 2:24
  They
• 2:24
  just
• 2:24
  said
• 2:24
  the
• 2:25
  episode
• 2:25
  was
• 2:25
  beautiful,
• 2:26
  which
• 2:26
  is
• 2:27
  such
• 2:27
  lovely
• 2:28
  feedback
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  have.
• 2:29
  And
• 2:29
  that's
• 2:29
  when
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  knew
• 2:30
  that
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  was
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  right
• 2:31
  direction.
• 2:31
  Less
• 2:32
  about
• 2:32
  me
• 2:32
  being
• 2:32
  front
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  centre
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  more
• 2:34
  about
• 2:34
  helping
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  Hear
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  people
• 2:36
  who
• 2:36
  make
• 2:36
  this
• 2:36
  place
• 2:37
  what
• 2:37
  it
• 2:37
  is.
• 2:37
  And
• 2:38
  while
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  figuring
• 2:39
  out
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  sound
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  the
• 2:40
  show,
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  also
• 2:40
  made
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  decision
• 2:41
  that
• 2:42
  turned
• 2:42
  out
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  be
• 2:43
  far
• 2:43
  bigger
• 2:43
  than
• 2:43
  I
• 2:44
  expected,
• 2:44
  really.
• 2:44
  And
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  was
• 2:45
  switching
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  what's
• 2:47
  on
• 2:47
  update
• 2:48
  from
• 2:48
  monthly
• 2:48
  to
• 2:49
  weekly.
• 2:50
  The
• 2:50
  newsletter.
• 2:51
  And
• 2:52
  before
• 2:52
  I
• 2:52
  go
• 2:52
  any
• 2:53
  further,
• 2:53
  I
• 2:53
  want
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  acknowledge
• 2:54
  something
• 2:54
  very
• 2:55
  important.
• 2:55
  Monica
• 2:56
  at
• 2:56
  Shepperton
• 2:56
  Matters
• 2:57
  very
• 2:58
  kindly
• 2:58
  early
• 2:59
  on
• 2:59
  gave
• 2:59
  me
• 3:00
  permission
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  include
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  dates
• 3:01
  from
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  magazine
• 3:02
  listings.
• 3:03
  I
• 3:03
  feel
• 3:03
  like
• 3:04
  it's
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  lovely
• 3:04
  partnership
• 3:05
  and
• 3:05
  it's
• 3:05
  made
• 3:05
  the
• 3:06
  newsletter
• 3:06
  richer
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  more
• 3:07
  complete.
• 3:08
  So,
• 3:08
  Monica,
• 3:09
  thank
• 3:10
  you,
• 3:10
  thank
• 3:10
  you,
• 3:10
  thank
• 3:11
  you.
• 3:11
  What
• 3:11
  I
• 3:12
  didn't
• 3:12
  expect,
• 3:12
  though,
• 3:13
  was
• 3:13
  how
• 3:13
  quickly
• 3:14
  everything
• 3:14
  would
• 3:14
  grow
• 3:15
  after
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  switch.
• 3:16
  So
• 3:16
  some
• 3:16
  weeks,
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  newsletter
• 3:18
  actually
• 3:18
  outperformed
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  podcast,
• 3:19
  which
• 3:20
  wasn't
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  sentence
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  ever
• 3:21
  thought
• 3:21
  I'd
• 3:22
  say.
• 3:22
  But
• 3:22
  the
• 3:23
  real
• 3:23
  moment
• 3:23
  it
• 3:23
  hit
• 3:24
  me
• 3:24
  was
• 3:24
  when
• 3:24
  people
• 3:25
  started
• 3:25
  telling
• 3:25
  me
• 3:26
  in
• 3:26
  person
• 3:26
  that
• 3:26
  they
• 3:27
  rely
• 3:27
  on
• 3:27
  it.
• 3:27
  Not
• 3:28
  just
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  read
• 3:28
  it,
• 3:29
  but
• 3:29
  I
• 3:29
  use
• 3:29
  it
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  plan
• 3:30
  my
• 3:30
  weekend.
• 3:31
  And
• 3:31
  that's
• 3:32
  when
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  thought,
• 3:32
  all
• 3:32
  right,
• 3:33
  that's
• 3:33
  actually
• 3:34
  useful,
• 3:34
  let's
• 3:35
  carry
• 3:35
  on
• 3:35
  with
• 3:35
  that.
• 3:37
  So
• 3:37
  it's
• 3:37
  become
• 3:37
  one
• 3:38
  of
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  main
• 3:38
  ways
• 3:38
  that
• 3:39
  people
• 3:39
  find
• 3:39
  out
• 3:39
  what's
• 3:40
  happening
• 3:40
  in
• 3:40
  Shepperton,
• 3:40
  Sunbury.
• 3:41
  It
• 3:41
  gets
• 3:42
  forwarded

  around,
• 3:43
  shared
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  group
• 3:43
  chats,
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  I've
• 3:45
  even
• 3:45
  had
• 3:45
  people
• 3:45
  mention
• 3:46
  it
• 3:46
  at
• 3:46
  community
• 3:46
  events
• 3:47
  before
• 3:47
  I've
• 3:47
  introduced
• 3:48
  myself.
• 3:49
  So
• 3:49
  if
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  read
• 3:50
  it
• 3:51
  every
• 3:51
  week,
• 3:51
  thank
• 3:52
  you.
• 3:52
  You've
• 3:53
  helped
• 3:53
  turn
• 3:53
  it
• 3:54
  into
• 3:54
  something
• 3:54
  properly
• 3:55
  valuable
• 3:55
  for
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  village.
• 3:56
  The
• 3:56
  next
• 3:57
  shift
• 3:57
  this
• 3:58
  year
• 3:58
  wasn't
• 3:58
  something
• 3:59
  I'd
• 3:59
  planned.
• 4:00
  It
• 4:00
  just
• 4:00
  sort
• 4:00
  of
• 4:01
  happened
• 4:01
  and
• 4:02
  it
• 4:02
  caught
• 4:02
  me
• 4:02
  off
• 4:02
  guard
• 4:03
  in
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  best
• 4:03
  possible
• 4:04
  way.
• 4:04
  I'd
• 4:05
  be
• 4:05
  at
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  local
• 4:05
  fair
• 4:06
  or
• 4:06
  shopping
• 4:07
  event
• 4:07
  and.
• 4:08
  Or
• 4:09
  wandering
• 4:09
  around
• 4:09
  with
• 4:09
  my
• 4:10
  recorder.
• 4:11
  That's,
• 4:11
  you
• 4:11
  know,
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  record
• 4:12
  things,
• 4:12
  not
• 4:12
  the
• 4:13
  instrument.
• 4:15
  And
• 4:15
  I'd
• 4:15
  introduce
• 4:16
  myself
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  people
• 4:17
  would
• 4:17
  say
• 4:17
  things
• 4:17
  like,
• 4:18
  oh,
• 4:18
  I
• 4:19
  listened
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  that,
• 4:19
  or
• 4:20
  I've
• 4:20
  heard
• 4:20
  of
• 4:21
  that,
• 4:21
  or
• 4:21
  even
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  know
• 4:22
  who
• 4:22
  you
• 4:23
  are.
• 4:23
  Which
• 4:23
  is
• 4:23
  bizarre
• 4:24
  and
• 4:24
  in
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  lovely
• 4:25
  way,
• 4:25
  I
• 4:26
  always
• 4:26
  said
• 4:26
  with
• 4:26
  a
• 4:27
  smile,
• 4:27
  never
• 4:27
  anything
• 4:27
  negative.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:29
  those
• 4:29
  tiny
• 4:29
  moments
• 4:30
  made
• 4:30
  me
• 4:30
  realize
• 4:31
  something
• 4:31
  I
• 4:31
  hadn't
• 4:32
  fully
• 4:32
  appreciated
• 4:33
  before.
• 4:33
  This
• 4:34
  thing
• 4:34
  actually
• 4:34
  matters
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  people.
• 4:35
  The
• 4:36
  podcast,
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  newsletter,
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  socials,
• 4:38
  they're
• 4:38
  not
• 4:38
  just
• 4:38
  something
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  make
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  a
• 4:40
  room
• 4:40
  on
• 4:40
  my
• 4:40
  own,
• 4:41
  even
• 4:41
  though
• 4:41
  it
• 4:42
  is.
• 4:43
  They're
• 4:43
  part
• 4:43
  of
• 4:44
  how
• 4:44
  people
• 4:44
  stay
• 4:44
  connected
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  what's
• 4:45
  happening
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  around
• 4:47
  Shepperton.
• 4:48
  And
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  feeling
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  being
• 4:49
  recognised
• 4:50
  isn't
• 4:50
  anything
• 4:50
  to
• 4:51
  do
• 4:51
  with
• 4:51
  ego.
• 4:51
  If
• 4:52
  you
• 4:52
  know
• 4:52
  me,
• 4:52
  you'll
• 4:53
  know
• 4:53
  I
• 4:53
  run
• 4:53
  a
• 4:54
  mile
• 4:54
  from
• 4:54
  being
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  centre
• 4:55
  of
• 4:55
  attention.
• 4:56
  It's
• 4:56
  really
• 4:56
  about
• 4:56
  seeing
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  project
• 4:57
  reflected
• 4:58
  back
• 4:58
  at
• 4:58
  you
• 4:59
  by
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  community
• 4:59
  itself.
• 5:00
  And
• 5:00
  that's
• 5:00
  something
• 5:00
  I
• 5:01
  never
• 5:01
  take
• 5:01
  for
• 5:01
  granted.
• 5:02
  And
• 5:02
  I'm
• 5:02
  really,
• 5:02
  really
• 5:02
  appreciative
• 5:03
  of
• 5:04
  and
• 5:04
  with
• 5:04
  more
• 5:04
  people
• 5:05
  listening
• 5:05
  and
• 5:05
  reading,
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  found
• 5:06
  myself
• 5:07
  talking
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  more
• 5:07
  small
• 5:08
  businesses
• 5:08
  around
• 5:08
  the
• 5:09
  Village.
• 5:09
  A
• 5:10
  lot
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  them
• 5:10
  are
• 5:10
  solo,
• 5:11
  just
• 5:11
  like
• 5:11
  me,
• 5:11
  people
• 5:11
  working
• 5:12
  incredibly
• 5:13
  hard
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  keep
• 5:13
  things
• 5:14
  going,
• 5:14
  offering
• 5:15
  something
• 5:15
  useful
• 5:16
  or
• 5:16
  creative
• 5:17
  or
• 5:17
  local,
• 5:18
  but
• 5:18
  without
• 5:18
  big
• 5:18
  budgets
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  spend
• 5:19
  on
• 5:20
  advertising.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  that's
• 5:21
  when
• 5:21
  I
• 5:21
  realised
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  my
• 5:22
  old
• 5:22
  ad
• 5:23
  options
• 5:23
  that
• 5:23
  I'd
• 5:23
  started
• 5:24
  with
• 5:24
  didn't
• 5:24
  really
• 5:24
  work
• 5:25
  for
• 5:25
  them.
• 5:25
  They
• 5:26
  were
• 5:26
  too
• 5:26
  much
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  a
• 5:27
  stretch.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  at
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  same
• 5:28
  time,
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  podcast,
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  socials
• 5:29
  and
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  newsletter
• 5:30
  were
• 5:30
  all
• 5:30
  growing
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  it
• 5:32
  felt
• 5:32
  like
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  right
• 5:33
  moment
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  rethink
• 5:34
  things.
• 5:35
  So
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  Business
• 5:35
  Club
• 5:36
  came
• 5:36
  out
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  that.
• 5:37
  It's
• 5:37
  a
• 5:37
  recent
• 5:37
  development,
• 5:38
  something
• 5:39
  simple,
• 5:39
  flexible
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  local,
• 5:41
  built
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41

• 5:42
  independents

• 5:45
  subscribers
• 5:46
  who
• 5:46
  might
• 5:47
  actually
• 5:47
  need
• 5:47
  them.
• 5:48
  Speaking
• 5:48
  of

  which,

  Not

• 7:22
  hear
• 7:22
  and
• 7:23
  see
• 7:23
  are
• 7:24
  genuinely
• 7:25
  local
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  relevant
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  it
• 7:26
  helps
• 7:27
  keep
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  whole
• 7:27
  Sheppertonian
• 7:28
  ecosystem
• 7:29
  running
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  a
• 7:30
  way
• 7:30
  that
• 7:30
  supports
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  people
• 7:31
  who
• 7:31
  keep
• 7:31
  this
• 7:32
  area
• 7:32
  ticking.
• 7:32
  So
• 7:33
  hopefully
• 7:33
  it
• 7:34
  all
• 7:34
  feeds
• 7:34
  into
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  nourishes
• 7:36
  everything
• 7:36
  else.
• 7:37
  So
• 7:37
  before
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  wrap
• 7:38
  up,
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  quick
• 7:39
  note
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  bit
• 7:40
  of
• 7:41
  Housekeeping
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  Sheppertonian
• 7:43
  podcast
• 7:43
  is
• 7:43
  taking
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  little
• 7:44
  break
• 7:44
  in
• 7:44
  January.
• 7:44
  Nothing
• 7:45
  dramatic,
• 7:45
  just
• 7:45
  a
• 7:46
  sensible
• 7:46
  pause.
• 7:47
  It's
• 7:47
  been
• 7:47
  a
• 7:47
  long
• 7:47
  year
• 7:48
  and
• 7:49
  producing
• 7:49
  these
• 7:49
  episodes
• 7:50
  does
• 7:50
  take
• 7:50
  a
• 7:51
  lot
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  time.
• 7:51
  The
• 7:52
  weekly
• 7:52
  what's
• 7:52
  on
• 7:52
  newsletter
• 7:53
  will
• 7:53
  carry
• 7:53
  on
• 7:54
  as
• 7:54
  normal
• 7:54
  though,
• 7:54
  so
• 7:54
  you'll
• 7:55
  still
• 7:55
  know
• 7:55
  what's
• 7:56
  happening
• 7:56
  locally,
• 7:57
  even
• 7:57
  if
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  podcast
• 7:57
  feed
• 7:58
  is
• 7:58
  having
• 7:58
  a
• 7:58
  quiet
• 7:58
  month.
• 7:59
  I'll
• 7:59
  be
• 8:00
  back
• 8:00
  in
• 8:00
  February
• 8:00
  with
• 8:01
  fresh
• 8:01
  episodes
• 8:02
  and
• 8:02

• 8:02
  stories,
• 8:03

  Christmas

  break

  and
• 8:09
  post
• 8:09
  Christmas
• 8:09
  Breather.
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  know
• 8:10
  I
• 8:11
  certainly
• 8:11
  will.
• 8:11
  And
• 8:12
  if
• 8:12
  you'd
• 8:12
  like
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  support
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  production
• 8:13
  side
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  all
• 8:14
  this,
• 8:14
  there's
• 8:15
  now
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  community
• 8:16
  membership.
• 8:16
  It's
• 8:17
  completely
• 8:17
  optional,
• 8:18
  no
• 8:19
  velvet
• 8:19
  ropes
• 8:19
  involved,
• 8:20
  but
• 8:20
  it
• 8:20
  does
• 8:21
  help
• 8:21
  keep
• 8:21
  the
• 8:22
  podcast,
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  newsletter
• 8:23
  and
• 8:23
  socials
• 8:24
  going.

  it

  feel

  like
• 8:30
  joining.
• 8:30
  And
• 8:30
  if
• 8:31
  not,
• 8:31
  just

  listening
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  reading
• 8:32
  and
• 8:33
  sharing
• 8:33
  is
• 8:34
  already
• 8:35
  brilliant.
• 8:36
  So
• 8:36
  that's
• 8:36
  our
• 8:36
  year.
• 8:37
  A

  and
• 8:40
  more
• 8:41
  community
• 8:41
  spirit
• 8:42
  than
• 8:42
  I
• 8:42
  ever
• 8:43
  expected
• 8:43
  when
• 8:43
  I
• 8:44
  first
• 8:44
  hit
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  record
• 8:45
  button.
• 8:46
  So

  thank

  been
• 8:49
  here
• 8:49
  from
• 8:49
  the

  start

  only
• 8:50
  just

  wandered
