Our most explosive podcast ever (maybe, possibly) as Marco and I recorded the episode we hoped we would not have to. If you want to share our misery at Italy’s World Cup failure or savour our suffering give it a listen linktr.ee/Rigore

Ah good, Gravina says he's staying and has asked Gattuso and his cronies to stay. Just in case anyone thought Italy would learn their lesson this time.

Truly awful by Italy. Why is Politano starting ahead of Palestra? Why is Esposito taking the first penalty? At least Gattuso & Co will go, but that's the least of what needs to happen. Just terrible. #Azzurri

A day late, but here is this week's schedule, with some great episodes lined up! @theconversation.bsky.social @bingereadingbooks.bsky.social @ukpageone.bsky.social

Are Inter already champions? Certainly looks that way. Things aren't so clear at the bottom of Serie A, however, as Fiorentina scrape a vital win. In Serie B, Venezia continue at the top, but not without a few scares v Pescara. Plus, why are Serie A teams so poor in Europe? linktr.ee/rigore

Coming soon... Narrative Damage is an actual play RPG podcast where your favourite authors roll dice and tell stories. Plus - interviews with TTRPG creators and players.

What is it with old white billionaires being morons in who make shit like this up? When did it become acceptable to be so openly ignorant? Fuck off back to Monaco. news.sky.com/story/the-uk...

Hard fought but vital win to extend the lead at the top. Frosinone better team in first half but we slowly got on top in the second. Busio incredible. And the new boys all looked decent when they came on. #FrosinoneVenezia #VeneziaFC

Thanks to the Herald for this article! And for that wonderful headline, although I fear they are boots too big for the like of me to fill…

On today's episode: VENEZIA ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! (Plus we chat about some unimportant Serie A stuff) Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

Top of the table! Bit of a scrappy game in the second half, but given Stankovic literally gifted them their equaliser it would have been annoying not to win. 31 points from 33 in the last 11 games. And 2nd placed Frosinone up next... #VeneziaCarrarese #VeneziaFC

Always great fun chatting with Vas. And sorry to Pauls everywhere for my comment (but seriously, the protagonist of your space epic is called Paul?!)

Patreon backers now have early access to this week's interview with @jamesbluecat.bsky.social, who tells us all about the differences between screenwriting and novel writing, including this funny anecdote from his time writing Green Wing... Join Patreon to watch now: patreon.com/ukpageone

This week we do that rarest of things (for us) - we praise Como (sort of...!) Plus, Fiorentina slip again, while Venezia can't stop scoring. And should Verratti come back for Italy? You know our answer, whatever it is, will be the wrong one! Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

This week on the pod we talk with the brilliant @lyndseycroal.bsky.social, who was just yesterday nominated for a BSFA Award! She tells us about writing 100 published stories, and explains what her next book (out soon!) is about... Watch now: youtu.be/oQkEzFDtyKE Or listen: linktr.ee/ukpageone

It's strange times at Rigore Towers as there is an air of celebration and happiness with both Fiorentina and Venezia winning... Surely it can't last?? Listen now: linktr.ee/rigore

This was a fun episode to record - and yes, we did get a bit carried away talking The Traitors and reality shows... 😂

Our (sort of) monthly newsletter is now out for our Patreon backers - just head to Patreon now to find out about what's coming up on the show, what we've been writing and reading and more! www.patreon.com/posts/margin...

The Glencairn Glass/Bloody Scotland Short Story Competition is open for submissions. Full details about the competition and the online entry form can be found at: whiskyglass.com/crime-short-...

Niche #TTRPG post but absolutely epic "end of season" game of Blades in the Dark there - double crosses, ambushes, last gasp one shot kills and a forgotten God risen from the depths. What more could you want?? Stranger Things had nothing on this...

The latest Rigore! podcast is out, please share. A lot of coaches losing the plot this weekend and Venezia most serenely keep moving up the Serie B table linktr.ee/rigore

Brilliant win today - totally dominant. 7 of the last 8 and up to 2nd now. Let's keep going and get to the top of the league. #ReggianaVenezia #VeneziaFC

Was a lot of fun recording our last podcast of the year! This clip is from the game we played at the end, which showed off our guests' writing abilities in some new genres... 😂

Sneak peek of our Christmas Special episode featuring @callytaylor.bsky.social, @fionacumminsauthor.bsky.social , @edjamesauthor.bsky.social - tune it tomorrow to see what caused such hilarity... 😂

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2

KIKE PEREZZZ!!! 1-0! #VeneziaMonza #VeneziaFC

Monza are an incredibly dirty team... We've been totally dominant again, but need to score when we are on top like this #VeneziaMonza #VeneziaFC

How did we get here?! Genuinely never thought we'd get to 25 never mind 250 episodes, or speak to so many great writers that we've admired - including today's brilliant guest! It has been so rewarding and great fun growing this pod with @tariqashkanani.bsky.social -long may it continue!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Loved speaking with Joe for our 250th episode (how did we get to 250?!) Episode out now on Patreon, out Friday for everyone else!

A week off from our industry episodes as we catch up with @richardswanauthor.bsky.social to find out what he's been up to since we last spoke (3 years ago!), and hear about 5 books that influenced his own writing. Watch now: youtu.be/bFK4SAJFLH4 Or listen on your podcast app: linktr.ee/ukpageone
