Have been watching some old Michael Cockerell films (as is my wont) - and was really struck with Blair just eviscerating one of his own voters here; it's a reminder of both his supreme clarity as a communicator, but also how timid modern politicians are when faced with the concerns of the electorate

My favourite bit of ‘In Our Time’ every week happens in the first eight seconds, when Bragg barks ‘HELLO’ from nowhere - and then immediately launches into the show all in one breath, as explained here by Louis and Justin Theroux

Just got round to listening to episode 100 of Screen Rot, and 4 minutes in it’s going about as well as expected…
