There's a new episode of Through the Square Window out next Wednesday, with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social looking at programmes from January 2000. Here's a taste of what's to come...

Lovely and very generous appraisal of our podcast in The Guardian, courtesy of @nickabadzis.bsky.social

Your NY resolution is to discover @squarewindowpod.bsky.social & in latest ep learn why @gkw.bsky.social thinks the Star Wars holiday special is a bit like an ‘Allo’Allo! episode but not as good. And why I am perturbed by the number of knives in Minder On The Orient Express & the Woolies’ Xmas ads..

I believe this to be the ONLY permissible use of AI #gottalottathingson suno.com/s/5TXS7nFnCQ...

I love the fact that this very weird show has been covered by the mighty Phil and the excellent @squarewindowpod.bsky.social in the same week. It fills me full of Christmas cheer.

Even though I'm now in a bitter rival podcasting outfit, I'm recommending this.

If you're so inclined, please do tell The Guardian about our podcast: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
