"We've done something that the BBC have noticed. That's a pretty big statement, isn't it?" - Stevie B
"I'm proud to be getting out of this car, and being the voice of Sunderland. Big love to everyone who has been a part." - Betty Ball
On Wednesday last week, at 8pm, our friends Betty and Stevie joined The Evening Show on BBC Newcastle.
Host Tamsin Robson asked Betty & Stevie about their adventures - what it's been like to create podcasts about Sunderland.
This podcast was recorded literally "on the road to BBC Newcastle" - as our friends Betty & Stevie reflect back on their journey, and some of their key episodes / memories on the way.
The full show is still available on BBC Sounds, if you fancy listening.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
