Traveling around the world to the far flung corners of this fragile world, doing my bit to save some heritage & with a good soundtrack in my ears.
With so much conversation around the BBC, I was quite pleased to find a copy of the 1929 BBC Handbook in a charity shop today.

Thank you to @countarthurstrong.bsky.social for bringing some joy to this dark world. Cannot say how much I enjoyed the unique version of A Christmas Carol at Richmond Theatre. Feel very festive now, or is Easter? 🐣

The indignity that the former offices of The Lady be turned into a Public House. The affront & scandal. 😱

Just caught up with BBC Radio 3’s Train Tracks. Can’t say R3 is my usual spot on the dial, but am pleased I gave it a go. Was impressed with
@petroc.bsky.social broadcasting across the whole 9.5 hours. Bet it was a lot of work to pull it all together. 🚅

Yes, can see why the scene is dying. It’s backed itself into a self indulgent corner full of rules and dismissing anything progressive.

So joyous to listen to the all-night BBC Prom curated by Anna Lapwood. Do hope that it’s repeated, would love to spend a night at the Royal Albert Hall.

See we’ve reached the part in the news cycle in which it’s the National Trust & Church of Englands fault again. Doesn’t matter what for, but any chance to stoke the ability to be angry. 🙄
