Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

I'm once again politely asking Bluesky developers to allow us to attach multiple photos and videos in one post.

“Visualisation” (ugh) of audio isn’t limited to podcasts. There’s a topical Radio 4 comedy show which regularly features an apparently hilarious “bit” to the studio audience and (presumably) the social media viewers it’s aimed at which is entirely meaningless to its listeners. It’s heartbreaking.
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

From Joe Marler’s visual-only stunts to the incomprehensible shuffling sounds Steven Bartlett recently subjected headphone users to, dodgy audio experiences are on the rise

It's no surprise Putin ordered this attack just as Zelenskyy is travelling to Florida to meet Trump.
The misguided US leader may see this as an example of Russia's strength.
But this is terrorism. Call it what it is.

I could never really work out what the difference was between a podcast and radio, apart from the ability to stream at a time of your choosing. Then they filmed them, so same question arose, but TV... And then I realised that a podcast is unbridled amateur ramblings, whereas radio & TV are crafted.

Now looking forward even more to seeing The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is *the* Cold War novel. I read it as a kid and it knocked me sideways.
But that was long ago. With a stage version in the West End and a TV version pending, what does it mean now? Thoughts for @newstatesman1913.bsky.social
