We went to Cefalù and attempted to shoot a recreation of the first scene from The White Lotus season 2 with an iPhone. It was really easy and you’ll hardly tell the difference. open.substack.com/pub/goodonew...

Loved chatting to Jules Schiller about what makes a great best man speech, and about why he loved writing a best man speech for Tony Moclair. He tells a Tommy Lee story that is to die for. Search speakola podcast.

It's an incredible piece.

New speakola podcast episode is 'the art of the MC' with Rockwiz legends Brian Nankervis and Julia Zemiro. I'll have it up tomorrow. (with surprise smatterings of an excited 12 year old in our house, who I allowed to 'dial in')

One of the speeches of the year. Got a favourite yourself? let me know for my @Speakola_ end of year.

A short tribute to Shane MacGowan, one of my faves. goodonewilson.substack.com/p/the-bells-...

You need your SIZZLETOWN merch! Even though their marketing department has AGAIN gone with Foucault. That's if they wrote it. Smacks of AI to me.

I really love The Cat Empire's 'Where the Angels Fall' record. The back to back songs for Felix's brother are just incredible. One of the great albums.

Stuff the last celebrity what was the last cow you saved to your camera roll

Found another of Harry's masterwork birthday cards this morning. "Happy birthday Dad!! [strikeout] Happy Christmas I spent most of my 14 years also thinking 51 was a prime number." goodonewilson.substack.com/p/the-cards-...

Trump discovers ChatGPT

I don't understand why a team that makes 350+ every time it bats asks for this pitch. #worldcupfinal

We decorate the trees in our street. This is the third year. goodonewilson.substack.com/p/oh-oxford-...

My son Jack's in an acting group called ShineNow for kids and young adults with disabilities. They made a film last term about a heist of Taylor Swift tickets. I play the villain Arthur. Jack plays Daniel. Very fun. goodonewilson.substack.com/p/the-heist-...

Happy birthday to me! I'm on the cusp tonight that Van Halen called 5150. I made a post with a photo from each decade. "1977, Donvale, home This one can be dated by the tiny, newborn, screaming Ned in the Cardboard box Caboose of the Soft Toy Express." goodonewilson.substack.com/p/5-photos-i...

Here is The Times UK article about our film Puskas in Australia. It's not out yet, but Ange is white hot at White Hart lane, and James Gheerbrant had a sneak peak. I love this article. He completely nails everything great about this project. goodonewilson.substack.com/p/our-film-r...

RIP Bill Kenwright, whose speech to the Hillsborough Memorial crowd in 2013 will make you weep as much as anything today. Full video and transcript in my Speakola newsletter. news.speakola.com

My episode of Conversations with Richard Fidler is up on top of the feed again. It was actually a 2020 chat about Speakola and great speeches, but it's had another run. open.spotify.com/episode/6WNr...

Just had a shower of unexplained web traffic land on Speakola. Is somebody talking about it on radio? Is it my old Conversations episode being replayed?

Triggered the alarm at Podworx today picking up @tonymartin.bsky.social’s restocked merch and Christmas cards. Thin ice! sizzletownpodcast.com

I glanced at this still from ‘The Red Shoes’ (1948) and thought “gee Moira Shearer had *massive* feet” …hey I am tired and GODDAMMIT I JUST NEED SOME HELP EVERY NOW AND THEN

Said I'd stay on the other one to the bitter end, without really considering how bitter, or to what end. Anyway here I am. Thanks for teeing me up @tonymartin.bsky.social This is Trump's one, right?
