Hello all,
That’s right . . . The Collective once again headed back into the studio on Saturday for a few hours to record the very final episode in this season. (Why do we call it a season and not a series? Well, cause we can and it just sounds right for this project) Recording was great. It’s really weird to once again get up and find yourself saying the words or doing a characters voices after a such rest. It’s really not been that long a break, but it certainly felt it . . .
I wanted to write this post and answer a few questions I’ve been asked about the last Episode :-
1) Why the wait for the last Episode?!
Well, this is my fault and the collective’s decision. Shortly after we recorded and released Episode Five we were to finish the series with six and put it all to bed with warm coco. It became apparent to though that if we went to Ed Fest and people came to the site (and therefore the radio show) cause of the live show then there would be nothing new up for months after! So we took a decision to focus on making the Ed show the best it could be and give people something to come back to once we’d torn the final ticket.
2) Okay, so am I going to have to wait this long for the next series?
It won’t be anywhere near as long for series two to start! I am not going to confirm exact dates at the moment but the plan is to release Episode Six then follow it the month after with some exclusive behind the scenes out takes and interviews etc. After which we hope to amaze your ears with something very special indeed. I’m going to keep it under wraps for the moment but lets just say it will be longer, it will be bigger and it will be just as silly if not sillier! Then shortly after that Season Two will start with a regular release date through the site . . . Now I’ve just got to write the bloody thing!
3) Well Jon that’s made me a little happier, but what about another live show?
Jesus! Calm down! I’m working my nuts off here! We do have plans for another live show but at the moment a few things are in flux (news when I have it) and until they are finalised we won’t be returning to the rehearsal room. Lets just say the new year brings new things . . .
So that’s about it guys. Thank you all for your patience and for the support you offer us and I’ll post again as Episode Six launches!
Lots of love,
Jon Cooper
