I'm Alan Olga and this is clear and vivid conversations about connecting and communicating. Welcome to a preview of season 26.

I'm here with Graham Ched, the executive producer of the show

and we're going to play a few highlights of the

coming season and give you a taste of what's to come. By the way last season was

notable because it marked our sixth year of doing this podcast.

It doesn't seem like that much time has gone by.

When you email me on the anniversary of the show Graham,

I was shocked.

Yeah, me too.

I'd been checking back on some of our earlier episodes and realize that the first show went out

on July the 10th, 2018 and that was with Sarah Silverman.

I remember that well you went out to her place in California when you were visiting

there where the sound recorders and a whole heap of special equipment and recorded it there and

for the next year and a half we recorded most of our shows in studios or people's houses and then of course along came COVID and everything changed.

And we've been virtual ever since.

Yeah but still just as good.

You bet.

And if you're a new listener to Clear and Vivid,

and if you're looking for a treat,

scroll through the list of our previous shows.

There are over 300 of them. You're sure to find a few

you can't believe you missed. Now about next week.
