Hefalumpus hefalumpus, to give it the full Latin name.

It's real, and it's mind-blowing. A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

Thanks Steve. Marvellously daft! Can't understand why this isn't in the 6:30 R4 slot.

I loved every episode.

Oh, Hughie. You called them “The Buzzcocks”, twice!

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Absolutely Totally and Completely Sick of this damn storm. Get lost, Claudia.

Totally unloaded and genuine market research: Do you support a project/projects via Patreon? What and why? Please and thank you.

He’s been arrested now. Local FB went bananas, here. Understandably so. Man suspected of being fake admiral at Remembrance event investigated www.bbc.com/news/article...

THIS. THIS is what I'm talking about.

“Less in, more out”. I’m not sure if I’m more upset by the policy or the grammar.

BREAKING NEWS: Saturday Night Live UK has revealed that Jethro will be head writer for jokes about rural life, everyday situations and adult humour told in his distinctive Cornish accent and storytelling style #SNL #Portion

STOP TALKING ABOUT HITLER’S COCK.

We're so close to having the ultimate vehicle on our roads

Heck of a line up!

Rutherford being brilliantly Rutherford. Again.

Thought I’d give Today another go, this morning. Just to see. It’s odd how it veers from the very serious and combative to entirely trite.

My son (21) is having an operation, today. His mum is with him, which is good. I’ve just been shown a photo of him where they’ve drawn on him with a Sharpie to make sure they operate on the correct shoulder. Apparently this is normal and it has amused me.

The phrase “but the emails” does seem to have taken on a new significance, today.

Who won the pub quiz? Who? Who? Who? We won the pub quiz! Etc

Broadcaster Mike Graham has been permanently axed from his TalkTV show after a 'racist' post on his Facebook account

Very strange tech quality to this interview with Fiona Shaw on Front Row.

This time (6:30pm) tomorrow evening you can hear ep4 of The Abergele Files, at which point the whole series will be available on BBC Sounds.

Anyone else watching Beggar My Neighbour on BBC 4? I’ve never seen a whole episode before. June W and Pat C were still close friends, 30+ years later when they were both in “Like They’ve Never Been Gone” on R4. Two wonderful performers.

Looking forward to seeing this. Starring Simon Holland Roberts from Bravo Two Charlies and Rhys ap Trefor from Bravo and The Abergele Files.

Welcome to showbiz, Cap’n.

"And you can shut your fucking trap Gibb, you Royal nonce-alike. Right, I want some top-quality telly NOW, and you can tell Trump to fist himself, him with a face like one of my auntie's fucking tan boots. I'm talking Play For Today and The Traitors. Clever people. And put some fucking TUNES on!"

It's June Whitfield's 100th birthday - so I'm delighted that Radio 4 Extra have picked a delightful 2-part retrospective I made 10 years ago, for her 90th birthday, with Joanna Lumley. Part 2 is available from tomorrow. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Reform UK’s Linden Kemkaran branded ‘captain chaos’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

It will be interesting to see how much notice (if at all) voters pay to these sorts of story ahead of next year's local elections - where Reform might be expected to make further gains. 🚒🔥🧑‍🚒

This is the thing I have never understood.

Let's face it. I've chosen the wrong day to try and tickle you into trying a Radio Wales sitcom, haven't I?

Episode 4 this week. And no ... we won't stop banging on about it. Here's a little preview clip brilliantly pulled together by @mattleys.bsky.social and hot off the digital "press" This week, Dennis and Lee go INTERNATIONAL. Eps 1, 2 & 3 await you on BBC Sounds. If I can still say BBC.

Prescott's claims that the BBC has a pro-trans bias are even flimsier than you might imagine. He thinks all positive stories about trans people represent bias unless some ghoul from Sex Matters is invited to say that they are awful actually. Crackpot green-ink stuff

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause. Genuinely ugly moment. ~AA

I hope Trump doesn’t hear the edits in The Skewer or we’re all buggered.

One thing I don’t see so much on here as I did … over there is use of the phrase “emergency podcast”.

Times reporting that Tim Davie is going to quit as BBC Director General www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

LOLs! We love ‘em!

Was my favourite of the series, till I edited ep4 (next week’s) which pipped it, for me. But do give it a spin, if you like daft stories about useless detectives in north Wales.

Funny and fascinating afternoon with @jonronson.bsky.social at Story House in Chester. If there are any tickets left at a venue near you, Psychopath Night 2025 is a *great* show. And I got to ask a question!

This was my favourite episode of the series so far. Great work @mattleys.bsky.social and @trenamanmartin.bsky.social. (And @stevedoherty.bsky.social , of course).

Heading to Southend-on-Sea tonight for my 11th show of the tour. Every show has been really fun (even Northampton) and I’m loving performing it. Would love a few more people tonight - if you’re in the area then come along! 8pm start. trafalgartickets.com/palace-theat...

Belatedly on the subject of Watson, this is fantastic and well worth your time bsky.app/profile/brit...

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.
