If you get this joke, then you’re exceptionally geeky about at least two different things…

With the death of #matthewperry back in the headlines, I’m reminded of this report I made for @itvnews.bsky.social Some of the things we were told were truly shocking.

I realise I have often painted a rather gloomy picture of the online hate circulating in this business.

I’ll counter that by saying that nice people do exist, like the sender of this rather lovely message I received recently…

Sick of horse racing? Maybe corgi racing could be the answer…

Couldn’t resist this one for @itvnews.bsky.social

Felt we should mention @dafyddiwan.bsky.social’s final gig before I signed off on @lbc.co.uk yesterday morning.

Shame the rugby result didn’t quite match up to hopes, though…

Just in case you had any doubts about the power of radio to improve your life…

Was great to catch up with @amyshirateitel.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk last weekend, to talk about the extraordinary career of #Apollo13 Astronaut #JimLovell

I know England is giving the #Lionesses quite a homecoming. However, in Nigeria…

One of those mornings when a story hits you completely out of the blue, and you have to grab whatever info you can to report some very tragic news.

What a great start to a morning. Thank you, internet.

Anyone know how ‘laud’ I should be talking on the ‘British BBC’?

Apparently I’m a TikTokker now…

Bringing stories to all platforms (even the radio) for @lbc.co.uk News.

Here’s Sophie Pender from @the93percentclub.bsky.social talking to me on @lbc.co.uk yesterday about their Big State School Survey

I’m in slightly more impressive surroundings this morning. With crockery you can’t buy in John Lewis ;)

Tonight I’m going to remember time spent copying my Dad’s Beach Boys records onto cassettes to listen to endlessly on my Walkman.

Thanks for everything, Brian…

Confused my Italian breads and asked for my breakfast sandwich on a Focaccia instead of a Ciabatta.

I regret nothing…
