After a long absence, Soho Bites will be returning in the New Year! Hurrah! In preparation for an interview for the next episode, I'm reading a scholarly article about pornography. Does it make me very immature to find this citation funny? #ooer #fnaarfnaar sohobitespodcast.com

Happy to report that a plaque has been installed in St Paul's Covent Garden in remembrance of John Hester who served as the unconventional Rector of Soho in the years before the big clean-up. We spoke to John's son, Alex, about his dad waaaay back in episode 7. sohobitespodcast.com/episode/07

Now that we've hit the 100 followers mark, perhaps it would be a good time to flag this up. Recently, @norloll.bsky.social and I were guest boffins on the new @BFI release of early Michael Powell films. I still haven’t been able to watch it though because I don’t own a Blue-ray player.

I'm in Pimlico and there's a big hole in the road! Are they about to declare independence?
