31 - "Psirens" with Tom Neenan
from Better Than Life: A Red Dwarf Podcast
Who better to start our voyage into series 6 than returning legend Tom Neenan?! Not only is Tom an incredibly eloquent and insightful comedy writer and performer…but this is also his favourite series of Red Dwarf! Consequently, we spend a lot of time together in Overthinking Corner. And Tom can’t help giving us his own preview of the rest of the series. But before we get to that juicy look ahead, we go into series 6 episode 1, Psirens. We explore self-acceptance, Cat’s new job, and the series subtitle that almost was. We reflect on the impact of losing Holly and the Dwarf. Naturally, we can’t help asking what exactly the psirens are for. All that, plus: Cameos! Kochanski! Cockroaches! And Compact Kryten! SO WHAT IS IT? Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. With a fresh guest every ep, we’re your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers! Hosted and produced by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan).
