Two questions.

Do you love #GameOfThrones?

Are you a podcaster?

If the answer to both is YES, please make yourselves known as the Lord of Light has a role for you to play.

A thrill seeing #InsideNo9 on stage last night with #StageFright at New Theatre in Oxford.

Won’t give any secrets away but it was as you’d imagine - hilarious, melancholy, creepy, clever and a bit meta. The proper curtain down after the show ended.

Still on tour so see it if you can.

It’s Halloween which means my yearly ritual begins - watching Millennium’s ‘The Curse of Frank Black’ with the lights off.

Remains a thing of haunting beauty.

It’s #JamesBondDay so what better time to announce a new podcast project.

Regular discussion on all things 007 hosted by yours truly in the years running up to the Amazon Bond era, with guests of all kinds.

Launch date TBC in 2026.

Trump is on his yucky ‘state visit’ to the U.K., one motivated only by a government fawning over the dumbass to keep him on side, and to a country where the majority of us think he’s a monumental, fascist bellend.

So hoping this bad boy makes a welcome comeback today.

Hello computer. Sum up everything about modern Star Trek I dislike and present it as a single news story.

News! I’ve been asked to be one of the judges for the Independent Podcast Awards 2025 this year.

Excited to get stuck in and then attend what looks like a very fancy awards ceremony in London in October.

Here’s mine. Shamelessly a bit populist but I’d stand by any one of these.

Shout out to all the Dads out there today. Could be worse.

43 years young today and my twice annual birthday and Christmas tradition of getting some new James Bond socks continues apace.

This season I will be wearing the Goldfinger collection.

Cheers, universe. #TheLeagueOfGentlemen

Oh and @danowen.bsky.social while we’re sharing messages, I still haven’t forgiven you for this!
