A podcast was - and should still be - an enthusiast driven audio forum; a hand written fanzine about your favourite band or team printed after hours on the school photocopier. Not a celebrity fronted marketing exercise recycling an already successful TV show with one eye on a Netflix special. Fin.

There's lots of things great about living in Scotland, free prescriptions and free uni for example. But by far the best is having tattie scones on a fry up and readily available in supermarkets

Our first production of this season is Ira Levin's DEATHTRAP. Director Ben Donovan talks about it here... www.edwardalderton.org/behind-the-s...

Brilliant run of singles with great B sides too.

This is a lovely piece about the great Danny Thompson.

Ignore the haters. London is the 🐐

This was something we said again and again in interviews and talks about the Ladybird books. When you give a child something made carefully and skilfully, they feel it. A treat. “For me?” We all remember that feeling. When you give a child something half-arsed, you tell them they don’t matter.

This is a cracking book which gives you an insight into the mind of someone who is swept up with a toxic man who works in comedy, but could be your boss, brother or husband. Excellent first novel by @jnraeside.bsky.social

Can't wait for this.

RIP Ozzy. Support band was Van Halen!

Niche but fantastic!

1971. Berlin. Germany's most controversial actor returns with a performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him, it's very nearly his last. Meanwhile 50 years later a housebound writer becomes fixated with footage of Klaus Kinski at his most manic. October 2025. tinyurl.com/45jss3hs

Dear @nytimes.com re today's mini crossword. It's spelt wah. Jeez

Happy BirthdayMacca!

Books read in May. Birding is a stunning novel. Monsters is a thought provoking look at difficult artists. Another Planet is a great memoir. And despite not being my taste in music Reach for the Stars is a really fun well written read.

A compassionate, empathetic thoughtful novel. Focussing on unique yet recognisable characters. You might walk by them in the street and wonder... "What's their story?" @regretteruane.bsky.social will tell you. One of my favourite books I've read in a long time.

April reads. Erotic Vagrancy was brilliant, The Marriage Portrait was a fantastic read, and The End of Reality confirms your wildest fears.

This is a cracker!

March reading...

Free in London at the moment. The Rock and Roll Public Library. Well worth a visit. Mick Jones is a national treasure.

Quiet February for books but a couple of crackers in Burn and Hepworth.

Brilliant work from the #eelive team last night. Great drama a few genuinely laugh out loud moments (Reece's death😂) and all live. Bravo.

January reads

Volume 1 of this was a great read and now volume 2 is available for 99p on kindle in the UK which is a tremendous bargain. @mccartneylegacy.bsky.social

Final books of the year. Loved Caledonian Road and My Rock and Roll Friend and The Fell was another cracker from Sarah Moss. Great end to 2024. Happy new year!

Yes this. Exactly.

Great thread which has lengthened my want to read pile. Thanks @iammilliam.bsky.social

Some cracking new reads for Christmas. Burn, @jonathancoe.bsky.social, Hepworth and Dederer are top notch writers.

You will be visited by three spirits...

What a singularly strange and beautiful picture.

I was so blown away by Macca on Thursday. I'm surprised to find that the song that's on a loop in my head is My Valentine. What a beautiful song! What a gift for melody he has.

About to go back

Oh my word! 19th at the O2 please please please. 🤞

Nice. It would be another nail in the coffin of the idea that if you’re famous for one thing, you’re magically good at everything. Writing a book is fucking hard. People who can do it well enough to be hired for the job need to be recognised as skilled, specialised labour.

This is a lovely book if you know a music lover.
