These are the best six books I’ve read this year. Fiction and non-fiction. Any of them is worth your time.

Almost 8pm so time for the Dr to get on his Steel Wheels. He’ll be splitting his time between @greatesthitsuk 70s and Saxon tonight. Text 61054 - first word MOSH

Trick or ROCK? Only one way to spend the spookiest Saturday night and that’s with the Dr on @greatesthitsuk 70s from 8pm. Text MOSH to 61054 with your 70s ROCK. Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme…

Go on then. If you must…

Dr Mosh takes over the airwaves from 8pm on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s. Wall to wall BOOM. Don’t make him come looking for you. Vinyl Verdict tonight is Bat Out of Hell.

📚 | #WHSBOTY What are we reading this week? 🗣️ “It’s a hard recommend from me.” @mattmwilliams.bsky.social takes us through David Walsh and Pippa York’s new book 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞. Check out Matt’s thoughts in full.

Seek him here! Seek him on the highway… Dr Mosh is ready to be found on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s from 8pm. Text MOSH to 61054 with the 70s ROCK you need. Just keep your hands on the leather…

Dr Mosh is on the hunt for the finest rock of the 70s on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s from 8pm. Join the chase by texting MOSH to 61054 and telling him what rock you need. They call me the Seeker I’ve been searching low and high

@mattmwilliams.bsky.social I know Dr Mosh loves an umlaut but maybe this (which I saw only because I walked to the office during the tube strike) might be two dots too far? #hellotosimonmayo

After more than 150 entries, we’re about to pick our longlist for the @bookieprize.bsky.social 2025. Below is my final XV. @nancyfroston.bsky.social and Neil Foggin will have a different XV. We’ll hash it out today - announcement on the Longlist in the coming days.

Who ordered a fat plate of ROCK with a double scoop of BOOM? Dr Mosh is standing by from 8 on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s. Text MOSH to 61054 and tell him what he needs to be serving. He’s got a bad reputation, that’s the word out on the town

📚 | #WHSBOTY What are we reading this week? @mattmwilliams.bsky.social takes us through F1 journalist Frank Hopkinson’s 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐰. 🏎️ The book details the evolution of the sport from the curves of Monza to long-lost circuits like Pescara. Check out Matt’s thoughts.

One more batch hoping to get on the Longlist for @bookieprize.bsky.social 2025. We make our decision on the Longlist very soon so these are hoping to make an impression quickly. There is at least one of these that I’m very excited has been entered…

Almost time Dr Mosh put on the leather and cranked up his Harley. Get onto @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s at 8pm for 2 hours of the finest seventies rock. Better yet, text MOSH to 61054 and tell him what he should be playing. Come alive, down on Devil Gate Drive.

Fetch the Leather. Lock down the Denim. And prepare the BOOM. Dr Mosh is about to ROCK Saturday night. Get on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s from 8pm. Text MOSH to 61054. Down Down Deeper and Down.

Another batch ducks under the wire hoping to make it onto the Longlist for @bookieprize.bsky.social 2025. Some of these have only just been released so have good reason... Those who chose to wait til now to enter may come to regret it given the number of books being entered so late…

Back to business. Dr Mosh is putting on his suit and trying to remember his password. Join him for the biggest boom in ROCK from 8pm on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s. Text MOSH to 61054 to tell him the 70s rock you want to hear.

And one of the final batches of entries lands for @bookieprize.bsky.social Not always the best idea to leave it late to enter as you can tell from this pic…! Still, at least one of these stands a chance of making it onto the longlist…

Took these three on holiday - if you’re up for some CIA/KGB shenanigans I would definitely recommend all of them…

📚 | #WHSBOTY What are we reading this week? @mattmwilliams.bsky.social delves into @nedboulting.bsky.social's ‪𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫-𝐢𝐬𝐭: (𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥) 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝, a behind-the-scenes account of Boutling’s cycling stories from across the world. Check out Matt’s thoughts. ⤵️

Ignition. Check. Denim. Check. Rock the size of a planet. Check. @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s from 8pm. Text MOSH to 61054 to tell the Doctor what he needs to play.

It’s almost the witching hour. By which I mean it’s almost time for Dr Mösh to brew up his infernal mix of ROCK on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s. Text MOSH to 61054 and tell the Doctor what ails you.

This week on the pod we welcome the brilliant author Lucy Foley to chat about ‘The Midnight Feast’ From posh hotels, to the solstice, to The White Lotus and naked grandmas dancing - there’s something for everyone! Available to listen now! @simonmayo.bsky.social @mattmwilliams.bsky.social

Saturday night’s alright for ROCKIN. You have less than ten minutes to tune to @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s Vinyl Verdict this week is Setting Sons by The Jam. Text MOSH to 61054 to talk to the Doctor or forever hold your peace.

For those who Run To The Hills and those who Let There Be Rock. Dr Mosh from 8pm every Saturday on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s every Saturday

Dr Mösh chose the wrong day to cloak himself in leather. The only thing hotter than the weather is the ROCK he will be playing on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s from 8pm. Vinyl Verdict - Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy Noodle no Poodle - Led Zeppelin For Those About to Sweat… We Salute You

The hottest day of the year and the postie delivers a scorching selection of books for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025. Anyone hoping to enter this year’s award better get their skates on…

And lo it came to pass that there was ROCK! Dr Mösh requests your company for the next two hours on @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social 70s. Vinyl Verdict from the Quo. All Noodle from Neil Young. Don’t forget to pack the BOOM.

Who’s that sweaty purple-faced man running round the streets of North London with a #LFC flag? Oh. #unbearable

Dr Mösh is about to have his weekly surgery on Greatest Hits Radio 70s. Text Mosh to 61054 to tell him what 70s rock you want to hear.

Stand by for ROCK

Dr Mösh has returned. Tune into Greatest Hits Radio 70s every Saturday night from 8-10pm. Wall-to-wall BOOM. Text Mosh to 61054 to get the Doctor to play your ROCK

Deep in the bowels of ROCK someone is stirring. Silent for seven years but never gone. Is there a Döctor in the house? If you want ROCK … you got it.
