Here’s my dog Teddy cosplaying as Salateen from The Caves of ANDROZANI

ALDI. Why the hell is one of your CHRISTMAS adverts on my TV right now in the first week of November?

Half way through listening to these wonderful people heaping deserved praise on Mags, and Iain reminds me that David Cameron was rumoured to have molested pork and handed Brexit to Farage, and yet it's still possible to have a debate about if he's in the top 3 worst Tory leaders of the 21st Century.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Let's be clear about this: I am NOT LOW, and these headphones are many orders of magnitude better than any other speaker I've ever heard music played from, but I've suddenly had this thought that Kid A by Radiohead might just be the greatest album ever made.

Had a brilliant time chatting with Iain, about the EDA History 101 - excited to hear from the mystery guest 😉

💥 New Episode 💥 Join me, @devondan.bsky.social, @kevinjordan64.bsky.social and a surprise mystery guest to study ‘History 101’. #DoctorWho podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Very proud right now, because the wonderful Helen Lewis helenlewis.substack.com/abouthas has designed her website just like mine. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

The race is on! Can he finish building his legacy ballroom before the Epstein Files get released?

Most histories of hoodies go with 12th century monks as the originator, but I like to show my students this one from 5th-7th century Egypt.

It’s time for @markcockram.bsky.social and @theiainmartin.bsky.social to welcome back Harry Whitley as we encounter The War Games In Colour. #DoctorWho podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Beginning today: the first part of our Florence + the Machine retrospective. #florenceandthemachine #florencewelch theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/festival-f...

What’s your favourite Adrian Mole book, @stuefewtrell.bsky.social ?

Why did we buy the NOW albums? That is literally just the radio.

In Classic Who, the sixth new Doctor (Colin) only lasted two seasons, and caused a hiatus. In New Who, the sixth new Doctor (Ncuti) only lasted two seasons, and caused a hiatus.

OTD 1995: #DoctorWho Head Games Fun romp with the Doctor, Benny, Roz & Chris or Grimdark with Dr Who & Mel? I guest with wickedly delightful Iain to answer: What’s the alternative title? Who claims “Not my Doctor!” Old Sixie vs Time’s Champion – Who’s better? There’s only one way to find out… FIGHT!

When you identify that Paul Morel is basically nuts from birth, Sons and Lovers becomes a singular joy.

Helllo Everyone! This week on the Maran Chess Club @theiainmartin.bsky.social joins me for some top tier drongo punching as we talk about the Virgin Missing Adventure, Cold Fusion by Lance Parkin #DoctorWho

Belated thanks: we've had over 12,000 downloads, and I can't even. I hope you're enjoying the podcast. How are you, anyway? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

More Red Bull racing, magic, lies and gossip #F1 theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/total-bull...

Edited two terrific episodes today. I pretty much have enough episodes in the bank to get us through another wilderness era.

Cor this is funny. I laughed for six hours, until some wee came out. Even if you HATE Red Bull F1. Or IDEALLY if you hate Red Bull F1. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/total-bull...

A little something for #F1 fans…. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com

If I apply for US citizenship, I would have to start calling @suedehq.bsky.social “the London Suede”, and after all this time I think that’s a bridge too far.

Here, meanwhile, is the latest slice of #Dubai life featuring novelist Jamie McThackeray, and his enormous meaty portion. #burgers #fiction #writing theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/everything...

A fun extra bit of continuity fanwank that is brought up in The Infinity Doctors is that Patience is a character from Lance Parkin's Missing Adventures book 'Cold Fusion' and was maybe the Doctor's wife and Susan's grandmother, but the Doctor (at least the 5th and maybe the 7th) had forgotten her.

⚡️New Episode ⚡️ Join myself, and the inexpressably dreamy Mr. @nathanbottomley.com to discuss The Infinity Doctors by Lance Parkin. #DoctorWho #fiction #podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Another entertaining episode of @theiainmartin.bsky.social on the more successful of the two books written to scald John Peel for War of the Daleks, The Infinity Doctors (which if my memory serves does eventually take place in #DoctorWho continuity) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Did they have a guacamole on the inside?

Just played the best game with my neph. Tell the story of a bad toilet experience using only the titles of Oasis songs.

More crazed right-wing nonsense from the USA. Not safe for… anyone anywhere. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/dick-licks...

Surely there are none amongst you who would choose to ignore a funny biography of a cute little cat? For shame. No paywall. Harvey would only sue me. theflaneurmagazine.substack.com/p/little-won...

Platonic: Seth Rogen’s sitcom is the most lovable comedy on TV. It should be as big as Friends

Excited to have guested on the fabulous @aotas.bsky.social to chat about this story which I’ve always loved. Such a shame I’m a quiz ignoramus…! 😬

I wonder when the next episode of We’re All Stories might be dropping?

Idea for 90’s BBC sitcom: The Talk of Dundalk, about a hapless dreamer called Dave Talk…

Just checking, because Elon’s been a bit quiet for a few days for some reason. How are Tesla sales now? Up again, right?

I love everything about this. My first purchase from #RedLionBooks was Odysseus: the Greatest Hero of Them All. It’s where I bought the first few Discworld books and it’s fantastic to see they are still stocking great books, such as Lucy’s. @candyjarbooks.bsky.social

How fantastic! ♥️

A new episode of AOTAS dropped today. Another fantastic guest, we’re very lucky in that regard. I hope you enjoy it!

Yesterday I recorded an HILARIOUS episode of this podcast, and now I'm celebrating by working hard on @theflaneurmagazine.bsky.social which seems to be missing the whole point, somehow. Anyway, it's a really good feeling to be putting stuff out into the world, as crazy or dreadful as it may be...

@aotas.bsky.social was very happy to see that @markcockram.bsky.social and @theiainmartin.bsky.social were back at it! Its been a long week and it was great to hear the nicest guy in podcasting again! (Nice to hear Iain of course but I also listen to were all stories in the end too!)

I keep hitting refresh but there’s STILL no Christian Horner podcast.

A very happy birthday to R.E.M.’s album Monster, which turns thirty-one today.

Happy book day to me. Happy book day to meeee... Book day? The day my book is officially available to buy from bookshops!

If you haven’t yet read Benton and Hawthorne Investigate, by Lucy McCaul, you’re missing out on cracking UNIT (ish) stories!
