I don't know what you should expect, but I also miss an easy place to recommend books, chat abut indie magazines, and share some shop stories, so...

@podonthetyne.bsky.social #q&a does this hold up to Eddie's 'no d!ckhe@ds' policy? 👀
Am I alone in thinking this looks a bad apple 🍎 for the #NUFC dressing room❓️

▫️Little scrutiny 🔍 on #Wissa antics

▫️More trouble than £40m 💰 is worth 🤨

Barker’s Pool looks very different at the moment as the second Crossed Wires podcast festival prepares to get underway tomorrow.
Fringe events will take place in the old Cole Brothers building while the BBC Sounds garden will offer a “relaxed, open-air listening experience.”

We were robbed last night. When it’s our stock or our money that is targeted, there’s insurance and systems in place for this, but when it’s stealing from a charity in an extremely direct way then we just can’t abide it.
