Wonky face, wonky leg

Exactly. The reason I piped up is that this anti-tech business has buried within it the ablist view that everyone has the same needs/experiences and is accessing the tech for the same reasons (ie. laziness or whatever the gripe is)

Just waving the accessibility flag here: some children with dyspraxia waste their primary years being re-taught how to write over and over, rather than getting access to tablets/laptops earlier.

It is. It's just "look, wheelchair ramps are expensive to install actually" but for education.

My version of that is, while stationary at a red light, a car ran into the back of mine. The driver got out and complained about the damage the back of my car had done to the front of his Ferrari.

At TOTP, we once hosted a web chat for B*Witched with questions from fans. My personal favourite (which, sadly, we did not get to put their way), was "why have you done a song with Lady Mambo Blacksmith?"

Ah thanks, I really appreciate that!

Yeah, I wondered if it was interviewing (always my fave) that acts as a bridge from one to the other. I do remember feeling like I wanted to so something that felt satisfying and meaningful and less personally broadcast-y. How about you?

Oh that makes three! I was at TOTP/Radio 1 and now I'm offering person-centred therapy in Cornwall.
