Help I Sexted My Boss delivered an unforgettable moment on the second day of the Crossed Wires Podcast Festival yesterday with a live on-stage proposal.
During the interval, etiquette expert William Hanson helped Tristan plan his proposal to girlfriend Shona, who jumped with delight as Tristan knelt on one knee.
Jordan North ran around the stage in excitement as the couple recalled the day Tristan first confessed his feelings in Wetherspoons.
The show took an unexpected turn in the second half when Jordan and ‘producer Ben’ stripped down to gold hot pants for a Full Monty parody!
William then revealed a custom Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday hybrid kit to the crowd’s amusement.
Over 2,000 people sang along to I Will Survive, with fans calling it the ‘best night ever’ on Instagram.
Elsewhere at the festival, bestselling author David Nicholls joined Sara Cox for BBC Radio 2’s Book Club to discuss his latest novel You Are Here.
Nicholls admitted: “I have very few ideas. I’ve been writing for 22 years and have published six novels – and they’re getting slower. I’m on a five-year cycle at the moment.”
Phil Wang and Pierre Novellie’s BudPod featured The Teen Commandments hosts Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton, who shared teenage drinking stories that differed wildly from Wang’s jazz festival debut.
Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton later hosted a 3pm rave for Day Fever, while BBC 6 Music’s Nathan Shepard and Emily Pilbeam continued the party with their Indie Forever DJ set in Cole Brothers.
Michael Palin was surprised on stage during Greg James’ Rewinder podcast with payment for his past BBC work, delighting the crowd as Controller of Radio 4 Mohit Bakaya presented it.
Today’s finale features Tailenders with Sir Jimmy Anderson, Evil Genius with Russell Kane, Pod Save the UK, No Such Thing As A Fish and more.
