@franticplanet.bsky.social did you ever reference a charity song in one of your videos, featuring all sorts of z-list celebs and people recovering from either drugs, alcohol, or mental health? I'm sure it was a BBC job and had the likes of Craig Charles, Mike Reid, Sarah Greene etc

We're huge fans of your work, from first seeing you as Kryten in Red Dwarf in the 90s, the excitement when the 3rd Discworld gamecame out, and then as a parent, my kids watched MI High and you popped up there.

@oswreview.bsky.social this might be a longshot, but would you have any interest in appearing on another podcast for an hour or so, chatting how OSW came about, favourite boys of all time, underrated matches and anything you want really?

Today it's a dive into Prince's soundtrack for his movie Under the Cherry Moon. The movie is not very good, but what about the music?

As always, read, listen, comment, and enjoy!

@franticplanet.bsky.social sometimes you're out and come across a record that you have no choice but to buy.

The record is in mint condition too.

@naitscotland.bsky.social are there ways to look at access to melatonin in context of ?ND/confirmed ND - we know many countries have it as an OTC, but here it is POM and needs initiation by a specialist which just creates further ?unnecessary delay.

New content! Pop-Crazed Youngster turns a critical eye to a band he'd never paid attention to before.

What follows is a lesson in being open to revisiting things you'd dismissed as not good

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

What are you gonna do now? Hmmmmmm…

Read the New York Times article this evening about the Musk takeover of the United States Treasury. On Monday, call all your Republican friends and just ask them what they think of what’s going on

That’s a start
