Digital things I would pay money for…
a) an ad blocker but for all AI generated content.
b) an ad blocker but for stores about Lily Allen and David Harbour.

I mixed Dead Ringers yesterday. The 1st episode of this programme I’ve made, but also the 1st episode of the programme made since its creator, Bill Dare passed away earlier this year. It’s really sad he’s gone but I hope we’ve made a show he’d have been pleased with.

If you just saw a middle-aged man walking along with what may have appeared to be tears in his eyes, blame @jonholmes.bsky.social and his team for the incredibly powerful ending to the week's #TheSkewer. Christ, that got me.

As the weeks go by the skewer seems to be voicing my internal monologue processing the news - absolute core listening to remedy the bilge that the news cycle throws out. If only all BBC news was this considered.
