1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. Absolute

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: honor to have Kate Ritchie back in the studio. God,

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: it feels complete, doesn't it. You know when someone goes

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: away and there's just a spare seat at the table

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't feel right. Now it feels right.

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: You have a little hole in your heart, a huge

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: hole in my heart.

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 3: We have been talking to you for the past six

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: months in the studio, but there has been there's been

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: no reply. So today it was just warming down.

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have been in I please don't say that,

12
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: because that's what people are going to think, but I do.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: Good.

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: It is great to be I've been doing I've been

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: doing so well. It is so good to be back.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: And I didn't want to really kind of stop down

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: and talk too much about everything, but I just have

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: to say, in all honesty, I have felt such such

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: gratitude I think, and I'm not going to hit you

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: with a hashtag blest or anything like that, but I

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: feel so incredibly grateful for the period of time that

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: I have had away from the studio, and not only

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: away from Nova, but away from lots of things, and

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: it's just been I don't know, I just couldn't be

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: more thankful. I'm not being very articulate, but I do

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: want to say not only the support from you guys

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: and you you know, fits in with her and Tommy

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: and Jess, but the wider team and Nova has been amazing.

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: But I kind of expected that maybe it always would be,

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: because I love you guys, and I've always loved this job.

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: That was never the issue. But I think what I

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: do really need to say, and I'm so glad I'm

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: finally behind the microphone because I couldn't possibly respond to everyone.

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: But the amount of people who have reached out to

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: me over this period of time and since earlier in

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: the year has been absolutely mind blowing, Like I cannot

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: even And so if you're listening and you were one

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: of those people that reached out or stopped me in

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: the street or even just smiled at me over the

40
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: tomatoes in Harris Palm and were like so nice, you know,

41
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: and just so I didn't say peering through the bananas,

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: but for people to bother to actually say without being intrusive, hey,

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: it's really nice to see you. Hope you're doing well.

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: Can't wait to hear back on the radio and that's

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: as simple as it is. So that all of if

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: you messaged me and I didn't respond, because I did

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: try to respond to a lot of people, and you

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: started a message by saying, this feels so silly, this

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: is going to be weird. You don't know me. I

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: feel strange messaging you, but I just wanted to check

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: in and see how you were going. Thank you for

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: bothering because I read all of those messages and they

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: made all the difference. Because I think that all of us,

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: not just me, but I'm sure everybody listening. You know,

55
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: most people have had, you know, periods of feeling incredibly

56
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: alone and isolated, and sometimes the kindness is what keeps

57
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: everything moving forward. So don't ever, don't ever second guess

58
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: being kind to someone or thinking that it's going to

59
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: go down the wrong way. Just do it. Just do it.

60
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: And because I saw all of those things, and yeah,

61
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: I guess, thank you to all of the people that

62
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: called today and said thanks for coming back. I mean,

63
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: thank you for bothering to say those things and for

64
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: being so patient.

65
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you feel that because you know, as

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: we were saying earlier, you know, for the time when

67
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: you weren't here. There were so many people, as we

68
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: all experience, saying, how's kay, where's Kate? Now's she good?

69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: She's coming back on air without a word of a lie.

70
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: I went to pick up some steaks yesterday. I'm in

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the butcher's store and one of them says, hey, when's

72
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: Kate back on air? And I said, you're not going

73
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: to believe it. She's joining us tomorrow from seven o'clock.

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: Right.

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was a secret, not.

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: In the butcher's shop anyways.

77
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: And Jonathan Moran wrote about it.

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: The three butchers in the shop Kate with knives and

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: carving tools in their hands, all put their arms in there.

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: It was like we won lotto. Yeah, she's back, and

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: it's so great to see you doing so well.

82
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. And I think what I need

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: to say, probably just for me too, is that it's

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: so nice to be supported and feel as though you

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: know I've that you've all been supporting me. But I

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: think what has been the most important thing and the

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: most different thing about things for me this time is

88
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: that despite all of the support and the love that

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: I feel, I didn't do it for anybody else. I

90
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: did it for me. So very important and yeah.

91
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: And you're feeling and I know you had to do that,

92
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: but you know you've always got your family here as well.

93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: It's so good to have you back mate. And we

94
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: just we chatted during that song and we thought your

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: audition went really well this morning and we'd love to

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,920
