I’ve got a podcast! When I watched the nuclear war film Threads at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.
I started the pod to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans. Out now!

Those remaking Threads mustn't soften the horror
I was 11 years old when I saw the mushroom cloud go up but this wasn’t Hiroshima or Nagasaki in the 1940s – it was Sheffield in the 1980s. I was one of nearly seven million people who sat down on the ...

I love it when people pretend to be really opinionated about how to make a cup of tea. It’s performative but fun.

Halloween is becoming Christmas in a witch’s hat.

Halloween should only be celebrated on 31 October
It’s becoming harder to enjoy Halloween because it’s now being stretched over weeks. When did a single-day festival become a ‘spooky season’?
