This episode written (and recreated by @paulkerensa.bsky.social) directed and edited by me, all put together in just over a week! Have a listen, it’s lots of fun.

12 Nov 1925 saw a bizarre broadcast:

If you’re not doing a podcast then you’re voice tracking an online radio station. Guilty on both counts. But it’s soundtracks so thats all good then. Soundtrackradio.co.uk

Conversation tonight somehow came round to that time in 1998 when I met Seth Rogen after his stand up set at a networking event in Vancouver. He was 16, I was 22 and we were introduced. Apparently he’s doing all right now.

Me: “Wow, what did you give me? I came round and I swear I could see a tiny horse riffing on a keyboard.”
Nurse “No, that happened.”
Me: “…”
Nurse “No, that happened.”

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Book recommendation: Four Films by Harauld Hughes. Accompanying text to “The Unfinished Harauld Hughes” by Richard Ayoade. Read/listen to that first.
Fans of Timothy West’s “This Gun in My Right Hand is Loaded” will appreciate the nuance of the dialogue.

Watching Live Aid at 40. Keep assuming the image is blurry because it’s 1985 and not in HD and then I put my glasses on.
