Thread stats

If you've not read my thread yet, it's mentioned in last week's newsletter, linked below. The stats have frankly, blown me away, and I can't thank you enough for your support.

Over 90,000 likes

Over 14.8M impressions

Over 2,400 replies (this is the figure that really pleased me)

Why the "greatest ever Twitter thread" is just like the BMX bike I won

Podcast

I've written and recorded the introduction and composed and arranged the theme music. I've edited the first (short) episode using Descript. I've commissioned the artwork (thanks Azee in Pakistan!) and I've set up the podcast in Simplecast.

I plan on launching the first episode tomorrow, Wednesday the 29th of September at around lunchtime (UK time)

It will make a massive difference to me how many of you interact with it on the major platforms, particularly if you can leave a positive comment on Apple Podcasts, which seems to be the most popular.

I plan on releasing an episode a week.

Season 2

Season 2 of CODE IS JUST will cover the period from 1984 to 1986, and will be launched on Saturday the 13th of November 2021 at 1500 GMT, on Twitter as before. Please spread the word!

Book? Movie?

I've had some encouraging conversations with a production company about optioning the thread for the small or big screen. Discussions with agents and publishers are ongoing. It's an absolutely unbelievable turn of events, but I'm experienced enough to know that there are no guarantees, and am not getting carried away. I have of course allowed myself a little excitement. And why not?
