What is the main question the podcast aims to answer?
podcasts there are millions of them some might say too many i have one already i don't have any because there are enough politics business sport you name it there's a podcast about it and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day but nobody is covering the most important topic of all why is that are they scared too afraid of being censored by the man
Possibly, but not us. We're here to ask the only question that matters. We try and say it at the same time, Max. What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? What did you do yesterday? That's it. All we're interested in is what the guests got up to yesterday. Nothing more.
Day before yesterday, Max? Nope. The greatest and most interesting day of your life?
Unless it was yesterday, we don't want to know about it. I'm Max Rushton. And I'm David O'Doherty. Welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? What Did You Do Yesterday? Hello and welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? My name is Max Rushton. Alongside me, David O'Doherty. David, welcome.
I am excited for this episode. This is a fun episode. We have, for the tape, we have just recorded it. So it's with Mary Lane Robertson. Her voice is just so beautiful.
What I would say is, you might look at this episode and go, wow, that looks like a long one.
Yeah.
You should absolutely be bothered because, I mean, we say this quite a lot, but I really mean it. I feel like one of my favourites, I enjoy where this goes. Yeah. Not all of it is exactly what happened yesterday. Some of it is some speculation about... Sex and graveyards? Sex and graveyards. But, you know, there's some beachums in there too. It's something for everyone. That's what I say. It's something for all the family.
There's a beautiful relationship. Oh, my goodness.
Oh, wow. They're in love. They are in love. Yeah.
That's beautiful. She is doing promo for her live dates. A very funny stand-up comedian who does sort of storytelling shows then as well. I mean, her heritage is – we get into it a little bit. It's so interesting because she – Comes from the Shetlands Islands, which is far north of Scotland, but also has Dutch heritage then as well. She's fascinating.
There's more on Campanology and bell ringing than I was expecting.
Who are the hosts of the podcast?
Yes, her special, which I watched today, it's great, called Marge, is on YouTube. She has a BBC Radio 4 comedy series, Human Watch, which she wrote and co-hosted. So listen to that. This is what Marilynne Robinson did yesterday.
Marilyn Robertson, welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday?
Hi, thank you for having me. Sorry, that's not a delay of the internet. That's a delay in my brain.
No, that's fine. Marilyn, do you think there'll be a little delay for every question? So like, if it's welcome to the podcast, and there was a short delay for that, when we start asking what you did yesterday, there'll be like five second delays then. Is that what you think could happen?
No, that won't happen. I'll be faster. I'll be faster because I want to give you my honest answers and not some fun fictional account like I have an exciting day yesterday.
We demand honesty, but we do start, and it's good that we had a little light bit to start with because quite a serious accusation to begin the pod that we're not sure about, but... If we go back to season three, episode 17, Alison Spittel, there is some conjecture within the What Did You Do Yesterday team that you were mentioned as someone she didn't trust with a set of keys. Could that be you or are we barking up the wrong tree?
I was listening to an episode earlier on today and I didn't get to that bit. And that probably saved my friendship until you brought this up. No, I lose everything. I would never make myself the second person of a set of my keys. Where was I the other day?
That's a different podcast.
Sorry, that's true. Oh my God. Basically, I was on an outside seat outside a pub and I got up and walked away and Sarah Roberts found my car key and my flat key beneath the chair where I'd been sitting at that pub in Brighton or Bristol. One of the two.
