Ten years ago, I was in Cologne watching Heaven Sent on the telly in a hotel room with a friend and a hideous root canal infection. I didn't enjoy it very much. This may have been because of the root canal infection.

Hurrah for Bonnie Tyler! #TOTP

Doing some research for a possible new project, and it hurts to see just how many podcast squares/covers out there are so clearly AI generated. Hand draw that baby, even if you're not a confident artist. Find stock images and make them your own. Collab with someone! Anything is better than AI!
