A quick share from one of my podcast projects... @classicbaseball.bsky.social recreates old AM Radio broadcasts of actual baseball games, as if you were listening to a tape from (in this week's episode) 1973. Here's one highlighted play as rookie Dave Winfield takes to the field.

A hypothetical question... would you rather UK Government to A) be reactive and define which large companies are "social media" (much like EU determines "Very Large Online Platfoms") or B) be proactive and attempt to codify what a social network is (ensuring Email is not classed a social network)?

Unexpected baseball in the viewing area: settled in to watch the 1977 Billy Connolly documentary 'Big Banana Feet' (of his 1975 Dublin/Belfast tour... and he's in the now classic Pittsburgh Pirates colours!

Over the next month, @gbbaseball.bsky.social is going to be showcasing the history of Baseball in the United Kingdom. Really happy to lend my voice to the project! Here's a quick preview video...

The Pitt season 1 started 364 days ago. The Pitt season 2 starts tonight. Yesterday the The Pitt Season 3 was picked up. And Season 3 will start in 365 days, give or take. Hey, big TV, an annual critically acclaimed show is giving us annual seasons! More of this please!

One last call (hah) for the Tigers at Red Sox baseball game, published just before Christmas. It's a recreation, mixing known stats and player biographies with some procedural generation and improvised commentary to fill in the blanks. And then we mess up the audio to sound like an old AM/MW radio.

The annual list of twelve songs that have made my year is now posted on my blog. From crunchy power chords, through introspective gothic, to angry raging against the world and beyond, here's 2025x12. ewanspence.co.uk/blog/2025/12...

Still amazes me they can get so much TV out of a single card game .. and you stretch it out over *how many hours*? #traitors vs a #werewolf next, please. www.looneylabs.com/games/werewolf

What are your Emotional Support Movie Scores? The Black Hole (John Barry 1979), Rango (Hans Zimmer 2011), Big War Theme (Geoff Love and his Orchestra 1971), and Songs of Distant Earth (Mike Oldfield 1994)... It's a score for a book; that's like a movie, but more, so it definitely counts.

The new year starts off on a high note for me. I'll be the announcer for the inauguration of Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of the City of New York.

It's Hogmanay here in Scotland, and that means another year without Scotch and Wry or Rikki Fulton. A retrospective is in order, so here's a look back at The Last Television Show Of The Year, links to the classic sketches, and the power of a sad "hullo..." to make a country laugh.

A quick highlight from my new Baseball Radio podcast project, recreating the games as a "could have been" radio broadcast with me commentating from the sidelines. Baseball fans can come for the games, ASMR fans can listen in for the background fuzz and words in glorious AM/MW sound.

Yesterday @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social and I saw some techbro giving “30 pieces of advice for people under 30” over on Twitter and it was all grind culture bullshit. As adults of 38 and 43 respectively, we compiled 30 pieces of advice that people under 30 won’t have heard before:

You can’t see the Woodward for Dotrice.

Today I have mostly been playing Sektori on Steam Deck... I think Sektori is Finnish for Geometry Super Wars Stardust? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1xb...

A century years ago production was underway on what is, undoubtedly, one of the most important and influential films ever made. Built, lost, rebuilt and remixed - this is the story of Metropolis 100 years on, and how it shaped a century of cinema. By me for @thespoilist.bsky.social.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

2025: Web pages vanished. Links broke. Public data disappeared. But the Internet Archive kept the receipts. From investigative reports to video features, these stories show why preserving the web became one of the year’s defining information battles. ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/22/t... 🧵

As Christmas draws near, the short run of "We Three Things" comes to an end. A month of the Keep Watching/Keep Dancing team sharing their three favourite things about Christmas has been a blast (and helped my Christmas spirit no end). But all good things end with "A Final Thought."

For 51 weeks of the year, Eurovision is all about its community. Is that changing? A listen that challenges your thoughts, well done James!

To my ASMR-loving or baseball-inclined followers, the latest @classicbaseball.bsky.social podcast is a recreation of the Detroit Tigers visiting the Boston Red Sox in 1953; aiming for period-correct audio, 1950s radio advertising, and, of course, calling the game. No spoilers on the final result!

One final pod-spin around the dancefloor from the Keep Dancing team!

Looking through the nearly 5,000 questions I wrote in 2025, and I have to admit the round about name the cracker given its hole arrangement will be a tough cracker to crack.

Yep

Well well well, if it isn't a prerecorded juicy Christmas Day spot for Beige George hidden in this Greg James article, once more the pod squad spot the 'hired for future BBC plans' contestant 🙃 radiotoday.co.uk/2025/12/greg...
