You’re invited!
One of the unexpected joys of starting The Third Half has been discovering that it’s never really been about the podcast.
It’s about the conversations those episodes have created. The emails. The introductions. The comments. The moments when someone says, “I listened to that on the train,” or “That episode made me think differently.”
In other words, it’s become a bit of a community. Something like over 19,000 views and listens, and over 450 subscribers and followers across the platforms, which still amazes me given we’ve never once tried to compete with dancing pandas for attention. Just proper conversations about things that actually matter, with enough irreverence to stop them getting too pleased with themselves, and people kept sharing them with each other.
So it feels only right that, as we approach our first anniversary, we get some of that community into the same room.
On Tuesday 25 August, we’re holding the first Third Half Live in London.
Not a conference.
Not a networking event.
Just an evening for good people, good conversation, food and drink, and a chance to spend time together.
We’ll be gathering at The Flēot, a Community Coworking Green Skills Hub just off Fleet Street. Like many of the stories we’ve featured over the past year, it’s a place with purpose, a building that’s been given a new lease of life as a space for learning, collaboration and community.
I’ll share a few thoughts on the journey so far and where I think The Third Half might be heading. Beyond that, we’ll just let the conversation take over. If you’ve followed us for a while, you’ll know that’s usually when things get interesting.
We’re keeping numbers deliberately small so before we open invitations more widely, I wanted subscribers and followers to have the first opportunity to join us.
I’d genuinely love to see you there.
You can find all the details and reserve your place here:
Whether you’ve listened to one episode or twenty-five, thank you for being part of this.
I hope we can raise a glass together in August.
