BBC on Fire

Short little piece on the BBC - I think these are people who've previously featured on the Escape Artist's blog.

Often when mass media are doing a topic on the subject, they google who is doing it. Then they end up interviewing the bloggers who are very exposed.

A Norwegian paper recently had an article about FIRE, interviewed some bloggers and referred to MMM as another example.

It's definitely gathering steam in the UK if even the BBC have heard of it!

Interesting to see some real faces in the UK talking about FIRE, and how to achieve it. I get that it started in the US, and that's not a problem, but when I was new to this, I really struggled with whether or not it was even possible to FIRE in the UK. Films like this, I hope, should inspire confidence to British newcomers.

I just like the fact they called their cat 'Catsby' :)

It was a fairly malevolent looking thing, perhaps it didn't approve of being on camera.

Some more evidence for the link between board games and FIRE in there too?

Definitely! I noticed that, too.
