Hello.
Lots of chat over the weekend about the local elections in England on Thursday.
And thank you to Mark on the Discord server,
and Discord being that app where you can sign up to talk about Newscast,
who suggested we bring back this old favourite.
Now, people who are listening to Newscast during the general election will recognise that,
or maybe they won't, as the signature theme tune to our signature item, Remoter Voter.
And the idea behind that was that we found out people's interesting reasons for why they couldn't vote in person on polling day back then.
And we had remote, remoter, remotest in increasing distances from your home and the polling station.
And we got some amazing stories.
And it was actually just a brilliant way of finding out all the interesting things that you do and the things going on in people's lives.
So we're bringing it back for the local elections.
Remoter local voter.
Which is harder to say than it is to write down.
Anyway,
let us know via email or WhatsApp
if there's an intriguing reason why maybe you're just a few blocks away from the polling station but can't make it on the day,
or you're in another country, or maybe you're on another continent,
or maybe you've done a Katy Perry and you're in space.
