DJ Burnham reveals how he ended up on stage with Marcus Brigstock and Todd Carty at a Monty Python show.

Episode 15 of Ad Astral opens with host DJ Burnham welcoming listeners to the quarterly transmission of his short stories. He immediately shares a personal anecdote about attending Monty Python's Spamalot at the Theatre Royal in Brighton on December 29th. Burnham describes it as a brilliant show and reveals he was rumbled as having the Holy Grail hidden under his seat, leading to him being called on stage. On stage, he joined Marcus Brigstock as King Arthur, Todd Carty as Patsy the horse, and other knights of the round table. He mentions a photo of this event is in the show notes and encourages listeners to see Spamalot if it's nearby. Burnham then shifts to podcast news, announcing that a new Ad Astral introduction video should be up on YouTube by the time listeners hear this. He says he'll put the link in the show notes and on the Ad Astral website homepage. He suggests listeners can also find it by typing 'Ad Astral podcast' into YouTube's search box. Burnham invites listeners to click on the link in the description if they wish to see more. Next, he provides his Twitter handle: @DaveJBurnham, spelling it out as capital D, lowercase a, v, e, capital J, capital B, lowercase u, r, n, h, a, m. He notes he'll put a clickable Twitter link on the Ad Astral homepage as well. Finally, Burnham mentions there's now a Facebook page for Ad Astral, which listeners can access and join via the Facebook button at the top of the homepage. The episode focuses on updates, social media integration, and a lighthearted personal story, without delving into a science fiction narrative as typical for the show.
