#5DebutAlbums9094 Sugar - Copper Blue Doesn’t feel like a debut album, does it. But then Bob Mould was already a seasoned veteran who had reinvented hardcore in the 80s and was about to help define alt-rock in the 90s.

Im only a few hours in and bored to tears with saying and writing Happy New Year already.

I really want to get rid of Spotify and thinking of moving the fam plan over to YouTube premium and music... any experiences or recommendations??

The lovely Ian rejoins Jim and I to explore fishy goings on, Pirates and other such malarkey. Is this the episode that shows the strain of Covid measures? In an era where Jim and I have been effusively positive, is this where we stumble?? Why not listen here to find out!?

Treated myself today with some Christmas money. As I recently got a new blu ray player I thought it high time I expanded my collection. 😊

Happy 2026 all. Here's to this year not being the same as the last few, cos damn, we deserve an easy one.

Somewhat fittingly on the last day of 2025 Jim and I have just wrapped up recording our last Jodie era commentary. I just want to thank Jim, firstly for inviting me on to do this, and all of you kindly souls who have listened, commented and supported our little passion project.

Thank you to the lovely @frakturedboy.bsky.social, for welcoming me back onto What’s In The Box? earlier this year & his superb series of 13th Doctor commentaries with @jeffgoddard.bsky.social, a combination which - it bears repeating - was among 2025's most unexpectedly wonderful surprises for me.

Having a bullish time in Birmingham w m’boys, opening doors on the #ChrimboLimbo advent(ure) calendar, paying respects to Ozzy Osboune on Black Sabbath Bridge w @jeffgoddard.bsky.social & Ozzy the Bull c/o this risky (I don’t own jewellery) but bang on Ozzy the Bull chain @quiteamess.bsky.social 🤘🏼⚠️🐂

Oops. Bought a Han and Chewbacca.

What’s this? ✅ Living off leftovers? ✅ Inhaling comfort TV/films? ✅ Dressed like a cosy hobo? ✅ Losing track of time / day / month / year? ✅ Unhooked from work & civilisation? Some call it ‘that bit between 27th & New Year’ @patrickstokes.com calls it The Interregnum: Welcome to #ChrimboLimbo🎄😴🍫🌀

Eve of the Daleks with the most wonderful voice in podcasting, @garethbowley.bsky.social who joins Jim and I in Groundhog Daylek. Fun and festive frolics in a shrinking time loop sounds exactly like Chrimbo Limbo to me!!

Made a tiny Christmas tree out of fossils: the stars are crinoid ossicles, the trunk dinosaur bone & the branches are sharks’ teeth 🎄🦴

Bloody love this film. May have to pop it on over the festive period. 😍

@orinokomcgee.bsky.social really good to see you here! Hope you're well!

Its a triple dose of Jodie as Jim and I come to the fluxing end. Does this episode do justice to what came before? Find out as we finish the Flux off and then head off into a mighty ranking session!!

Well, thats me broken up for Christmas. I think this is my earliest ever since I was at school! Im so tired.

Jim and Jeff deliver the goods again. What a great pairing! One of my fave podcasts!

I got an Art the Clown figure for my birthday so I obviously had to pick up Sienna to go with him. God I adore the Terrifier films. I've always been a splatter and gore fan and Terrifier takes that to the next level.

I may have a crush on Salt. What a captivating performance. (Im only on ep 3... no spoilers please haha)

I may have found a couple of bargains to add to the collection...

Im so glad that my wife, my girls and I dont have any immediate family locally, and my Mum who is coming for Christmas for the first time in years is an old hippy without a racist bone in her body and doesn't use any social media. For those of you less fortunate, be strong and shut that shit down

Coming soon from Nostalgia Tours! This week: a TV classic, but which? Xmas week: 3 fab voices take on 5 Who stories! New Year: new format! @davidjgp1983.bsky.social @danielknight73.bsky.social @frakturedboy.bsky.social @melvinpena.bsky.social @jeffgoddard.bsky.social @toohot4tv.bsky.social

Belated Happy Birthday, Jeff! Sorry I missed it - hope you had a wonderful day! 🥳🎉 @jeffgoddard.bsky.social

Join Jim and I in our mission to fetch our dog. Thrills, spills and giggles galore. And lots of Prentice/Grand Serpent goodness which is the highlight for me...... ahhh, im teasing you!!

I second this! Thank you so much, Jim, and thank you for such a wonderful few months. Long may they continue, you're a star mate. X

Happy birthday to the absolutely brilliant @jeffgoddard.bsky.social who it has been an honour and privilege to record with - and get to know - this year. All the best buddy… and you’re looking very pretty! ❤️

🥰 aww. Thank you very much! 💕

A peak behind the curtain! @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and I had so much fun recording the commentary for The Vanquishers tonight! 😁 This may end up being out longest episode yet. Over two hours at the moment.

The @frakturedboy.bsky.social and @jeffgoddard.bsky.social team-up as a podcasting dynamic duo on What's In The Box? has been one of this year's most unexpected delights. Long may it continue!

You've heard Jim and I expand on our love for the 13th Doctor's era, and we can't wait to dive back into where it all began as us as fans, with some friends popping by along the way! Hope you'll join us once we get there! Can't freaking wait. 😍

Flux is the gift that keeps on giving as we venture into familiar Who territory. A small village under threat, nods to classic village based Who stories and the Angels restored to their former glory... is this their best story?? Join Jim and I as we venture into the Village of the Angels!

'Welcome Doctor,' purred Missy. 'I hope you dont mind, I kept your wee seat warm while you were away!' #DoctorWho #FanArt
