It might become about someone famous...depending whose head the coconut falls on. But we'd need the name inside the first 2 lines/first rhyme.

I’ve been busy tweaking the Pop-Ups format ready for our return on Sept 23rd. One thing that many people have said is that it’s still too long to watch / listen to (it’s also available as a podcast) in one sitting. We started-out at a rather ludicrous 3 hours, when I was reviewing nine submissions all by myself. We’re now down to 90 minutes, which is still overlong.
When we return, the length will be just 60 minutes, so only time for five submissions. Bearing in mind we will need to include time in the show to speak to our guest publisher, even 5 subs in 60 mins is a bit tight. So, it’s possible that we may have to do away with Clerihews, we’ll see.
A lot also depends on the quantity of submissions made, too. If we become severely backlogged, we might have to go twice weekly, or to pre-vet submissions, or to include some in an aftertime event. Those are all options.

It would be a bit of a shame to pre-vet submissions, though; I think a lot of the success is that it could really be anything, and widens the scope a lot. Having said that, it *is* your time and energy, which is finite! Looking forward to the return and thank you

Maybe just Peter and publisher, no panel, the weeks there is a guest publisher, plus Litopian riots inputs from chat room, would free more prime time for publisher's inputs. Panel instead when publisher can't make it. We can still create mayhem help out from the chat room.

The chatroom is an integral part of the format, and provides really invaluable live feedback for any writer, so it will still be very prominent. And a guest Litopian on each show has also become indispensable, too
