I'm currently half way through Marc Burrows' (who's hopefully doing an episode with us soon!) excellent book on Christmas Number Ones. Its brilliant. Really funny, very informative & mega christmassy. Its currently only 99p on Amazon so go buy a copy and get Marc the well deserved Xmas number 1!
Okay, I need your help. If everyone buys my book on Kindle today (for 99p), it could push it back to number one on the Music chart and I'd HAVE A CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE. I would really, really, really like that for Christmas. 99p! www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Christ...

The bloody character limit here doesn't allow nearly as much as I need to pay tribute to Ozzy so here's what I posted over on Facebook. A true hero. Black Sabbath have always made me proud of Birmingham and the West Midlands.

Thank you for everything Ozzy.

Excellent to hear!
Sometimes I love the threads that emanate from social media. Tonight we had an exceptional food experience at Albatross Death Cult which we'd never have known about if I'd never listened to @thismonthsissue.bsky.social podcast.
