Apologies all, but tonight's 'North Wind' has been postponed - apparently the moors road to Whitby is increasingly snowy with more forecast throughout the day/night! We're going to do it on Friday 6th March instead...

I'm making very slow progress with reading this, because I don't want to read it in the bath for fear of dropping it! But I just read "Kittycat", and what a bittersweet story that is. It feels very plausible too.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

You're not producing a novel with AI. You're using an algorithm powered by other people's stolen novels to lie and pretend you're a writer. Being a writer requires WRITING, you pathetic fucks.

Slightly terrifying/ultimately quite revelatory about re-reading/re-listening-to writings done 15 years ago by yr younger self. 'SO, that's who I was then' is the redux. These - first broadcast 2010 - are listenable for 28 days if you have 3 x 15 minutes for fiction.
