Series 6 - New Year "Special" Part 2

from Better Than Life: A Red Dwarf Podcast

We open a fresh batch of your emails and dig into everything from cat paws, to the iconic design of Starbug, to fancying Lister. We get into a spirited defence of being a nerd, a mini rant about a Late Late Show host who hasn’t been on Red Dwarf, and a little look ahead to series 7 and 8. Plus: a beautiful account of four decades of Red Dwarf fandom, a great question about a Red Dwarf movie, and the best gym music playlist recommendation of all time. 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). Huge thanks to Alex Watson for invaluable help in making this podcast a thing. WHAT DO YOU THINK?Have a word on our socials: Instagram/Facebook - @itsBTLpodEMAIL USWe’d love to ask your questions on the pod – and to hear your feedback.
