Hello Relevanters!

Staying Relevant is now available to you through yet ANOTHER medium… welcome to the SR newsletter, where we will be giving you a behind the scenes look at everything going on here at SR Productions each month.

2025 was a pretty busy year for us, and we seem to have started 2026 on the exact same foot. By the time this newsletter goes out, we can FINALLY talk about our very first podcast acquisition - He Said, She Said is now brought to you by SR Productions!

We searched high and low for our first partnership and settled on a pairing pretty close to home… Sam’s neighbours in fact. We are so excited to be working with Louise and Ryan on their already hugely successful podcast and helping them take it to the next level. There have already been plenty of laughs along the way, and we are so grateful to them for trusting us with this project. (In fact, it’ll be really awkward for Sam if it doesn’t go well, so do us a favour and please go like/ follow/ subscribe, thanks.)

The team have been figuring out a new rhythm as we now work to bring you two wonderful podcasts each week. We are so proud of each and every one of them for working so hard on this, hopefully you will agree that it’s all paid off!

We went for a celebratory dinner with Louise, Ryan, the boys and entire team to celebrate launch week. Sam’s seat was at the end of the table, so he spent the entire meal yelling myname and asking what everyone was talking about - multiple people offered to swap seats with him but he assured us he was ‘fine where he was’... sure Sam, sure.

Podcasts also aren’t the only thing we’ve been acquiring this month - we’ve only gone and got a new office baby! Pete has requested his own personal desk and has emphasised his desire to be ‘completely alone’. I, on the other hand, am lucky enough to be sharing what has been referred to as a ‘twosome’ desk with Sam. So really looking forward to getting loads of work done in the new office with that set up. Sam and I are planning on getting a secret bonsai tree… I’ve waited til this far down the newsletter to mention it as I assume Pete has stopped reading by now. I imagine he’s going to get extremely competitive once he finds out and proceed to order a small forest for his corner - updates to follow on that I’m sure.

We can’t discuss January without discussing the most important announcement of them all - we have a new team member! Rodney has officially joined Staying Relevant Productions as the office intern and has become the most popular team member all round. He’s gonna be a tough one to beat for employee of the month… every month. So far Rodney can do ‘sit’, ‘paw’, ‘wait’ and ‘leave it’. We have never seen Pete so in love, or speak in such a high pitched voice for that matter… and Sam is looking forward to Rodney’s teenage years when he begins humping - which makes one of us.

That’s all for this month Relevanters - I can assure you we have plenty planned (as ever) and that 2026 is looking to be a big one. I’ve even heard rumours of a potential trip to Sheffield, not sure if anyone else has?

Thank you so much for all the support, love and laughs along the way - here’s to another year of being part of the best family ever. We love you all so much and can’t wait to see you soon… (hint hint)
