Today's examination of life in 2026 includes a new feature to reassure you that absolutely everything is fine. Also: Melania the Movie, and Where Do You Keep Your Birthday Candles? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

You could try this for the first time, or you could just tell yourself you already have enough joy in your life and things will never improve. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Listen to this while tidying up, fixing a boat or mending a welly. It takes roughly that amount of time. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

This week's show involves a terrible situation that happened at a wedding... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Nice bins, but far too tall

Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

once a year I watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj5I...

Very annoying when you just miss out on free shipping

I can’t help but wonder what other names were on the shortlist.

Q: What’s brass and sounds like Tom Jones? 🤔 A: Trombones. 😂🎶

Maybe my favourite episode in ages - thanks to listener Ray Boyle and his incredible spooky tale... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

When they asked me if I wanted to go sea kayaking, I thought they meant did I want to "go see kayaking", which would have been much more boring. Thanks for a fun day Team Halfords! #SummerofYes #ad #Halfords #Yes

Hard to believe it’s 20 years this summer since Yes Man was published. When they realised, my old pals at Halfords offered me a whole day of Yeses to celebrate... and when I say "old pals", I mean I literally used to dress as a member of staff when I was five. #SummerofYes #ad #Halfords #Yes

A member of the radio show team cancelled at the last minute, so I threw the whole show out. Which meant I ended up talking about plums for one whole hour. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

It’s all very unusual, isn’t it?

Anyone know what brand this bag is?

Making America grate again

With a TikTok ban looming, I’m putting it out there that I will, for a small fee, send you a 19 second video of me doing a rehearsed dance to a song you’ve never heard of.

Stood behind a MASSIVE Star Wars fan today

In today's podcast, my plumber texts me about ghosts. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Tailoring/seamstress people, I have a question. I've got a peacoat/reefer jacket and I really wish it had a pocket on the inside left. It's got a very shallow diagonal pocket inside right but that's not deep enough to put a phone or anything in safely. Is 'adding a pocket' a faff/pricey job?

great pleasure to have a few beers with this guy a few years back and get inside goss on the Take That days etc.

Every time I get a Meal Deal, when they ring the price up I want to say ‘well, I think we’ve got ourselves a deal!’ and offer a handshake. I’ve not tried it, in my heart I know it wouldn’t go down well.

Wishing you all the very best for the rest of ‘24!

Forgot all about this!

‘Nugget’ is such a nice name for a small yellow car.

I accidentally became a tabloid story this week. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Started reading this, from 1963. Feels a little out of date already.

Watch out for the “I wish to politely disagree” AI bots, looking to farm engagement. A recent addition to #bluesky. My advice: block on sight.

I feel like "Open Sundays and Mondays" would have worked

Pubs and books - a modern and wholesome combo.

There are some great deals out there today if you look

Audiobooks and litter-picking - a modern and wholesome combo.

I'm getting closer

I'm on the Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip talking unseen puppetmasters and how we can all go crazy in the right circumstances. Even me and you and Pip! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

This is how a chef once chose to serve me a sandwich. #food #foodporn #gherkin

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Why's there four of them

Jeremy Pritchard from 'Everything Everything' was one of my favourite guests no offence to all the poor quality guests.

Recently, at an airport business hotel, I ordered sausage, mash and peas. Using your observational skills, can you spot the missing ingredient?

Brrr. Cold out. Really in the mood for some mild coloured cheese!

Well this is quite the compliment!

Who here is wearing a hat? Do you have evidence?

Vindaloo is not the hottest of curries – it's Phal, rarely served in Britain because of its outlandish heat. Also, according to his biography which TGL took in with His own eyes, Gary Lineker found work as a footballer in Japan on account of his polite demeanour. True! #TellMeSomethingIDon'tKnow

Well, look what's here!

On today's "Important Broadcast", I exclusively reveal -- LIVE on air -- my most recent MOT result. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?

This is a lovely initiative which I've supported for a while now. It looks like the book is STILL unclaimed but even if not, worth getting involved in future.
