will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

I’ve done some catalogue searching and am fairly confident in saying that 5/10 titles in this list do not exist (1, 2, 4, 5 and 7).
Sloppy, unacceptable, and a real kick in the guts to real authors with real books they’d love people to buy and read!

When Lenny Henry was a cunt to me on Sunday Brunch, Tim Lovejoy came in the gallery during a break. “Are you ok?” “No, I’m fucking not, this cunt has humiliated me”. “What does he DO Joel? What does he DO?” “He does David Bellamy and his mother”. “Ok”.
