The strange parasocial world where you feel compelled to share the decor of the master bedroom in the place you just bought with a comedian you never spoke to.

I hope you are still around somewhere out there in the world celebrating your 55th Simon Christopher Bennett.

Happy Birthday.

If you find this Mum is still around and I'm sure would wish you one too.

Nan Bennett died this year.

If you haven't heard Dad died in 2023.

I'm delighted to be able to say that Cautionary Tales has won not one but THREE Signal awards.
History Podcast: GOLD
Music / Score: GOLD
Sound Design: SILVER
(This means that our composer and sound designer Pascal Wyse won more awards than the rest of the team put together.)
Hurrah!

If you’ve ever wanted us to cover TOS, today is your lucky day! We’ve embarked on the project!
On #GreatestTrek, Ben and Adam are talking about the genesis of Trek. But it ain’t filled with protomatter. It’s filled with the swinging ‘60s! We’re in TOS and The Cage!

A few decades ago in a another life I asked Robert Redford a question at a thing. I don't remember the question or the meat of the answer any more. What I do remember is the grace, the poise, the elan of the man, the presence and his response.

It's been almost a year since the Bell Riots and has enough changed in that time?

Went to see @alicefraser.bsky.social tonight at The Fringe. She has one more night. Go.

Her show's about stories. She said men like me should try reading romance but I like watching sci-fi space opera you know, like DS9. With serious characters like Odo, Kira and...oh.

It is crazy that the major political parties have ceded so much ground to Gary. I'm personally glad of it in his case but it's double edged as it's also ground they have ceded to reform etc.
