Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 546.

And we've got the last guest of the year. Obviously you know a lot of you will know we end the year on the drunk casts. We have recorded.

It is its usual disgrace but more to come on that.

I'm ending the year on someone who I've been chatting with about coming on since really early days.

So we're in our 10th year at the moment of the Destruction pieces podcast and I would say me and Tommy have been

talking since the first year or two it's it's Thomas Turgus I say this a million times that things always

feel as if they have time bright and this conversation really felt like that.

It's such a beautiful conversation. I love where Tommy is in his life, in his mind and body in his you know career and in his his personal life and we talk about all of that

if this is your first time tuning in previous guests that kind of relate to Tommy include Stephen Graham on like three times I think

Vicky McClure Joe Joe Gilgan, Andrew Shim, Michael Socker, countless people. I'm trying to, I mean that feels like that's not nearly enough.

I've definitely had more Patty Considine who else guys come

on help me here Joe Hartley of course I've not had Andrew Ellis on yet we've talked

with Andy about coming on a few times need to make that one happen

and Chanel I've basically had most of the people associated with this is England but

yes I'm just amazing people and people that come up in this conversation

include Jack Spring, other people. I can't think now, okay? I'm drawing a blank, we're coming towards the end of the year it's that

time of year it's a wonderful chat I think you're gonna really enjoy it and if this is your first

time in there's so much in the back catalog for you to go and sink your teeth into essentially.

We're bought to you as ever by speech development records.com.

It's Christmas time in the middle of a cost of living crisis. So by no means am I going to hard sell my merch?

But a lot of small businesses and particularly things like merchant that when you're not a touring artist,

December can be responsible for a big chunk of your income in that area over the year.
