What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O' Doherty

This show is weirdly great. There’s some hidden magic in finding out the small ways people spend their time on earth. Incidentally, I yelled out loud when Amy Gledhill revealed she went to sleep listening to David Mitchell’s book Unruly - as I did THE SAME THING THE NIGHT BEFORE! What a rush! (To be clear, i have already listened to it while awake. It’s a great day time book too. It works both ways. Great value.) David and Max, this is podcast gold. More please!

Most new pods are a bit full of their own importance, but these guys take “down to earth” to a new level :) Yet another wonderful discovery by way of following Taskmaster faves (brilliant guest choices, David’s phone). You just cant find anyone like David O’D out here in L.A! And I’ll definitely Google Max soon…

These are great and episodes need to be much longer; I would like 24/7 WDYDY Also DoD seems like a real turnip-eater but I like listening to him even so

I’m an American man in my mid-fifties who has been a teacher for almost 35 years. This is my final year of teaching, which may be the most structured occupation in the planet. I literally have bells that indicate when to start working, and when to stop. I’ve been in a full on mid-life crisis for a few years, pondering what my life will look like when I retire. This podcast has given me a window into the lives of smart, funny people who have very unstructured lives compared to mine. Their insights, paired with legal weed in my state, have started retraining my brain to embrace the delightful mundanity of unstructured life and how to think about it. Thanks for the cheap therapy!
