This Radio 2 listener sent us proof of their stress-inducing unread emails.
But then listener Claire from Edinburgh took the gold medal with a staggering 523,321 unread. Beat that!

For radio journalists, the iPhone’s built-in call-recording facility (since iOS 18.1) is incredible.
Today I called a contributor on FaceTime Audio and hit the record button, then emailed it to myself and it was on air shortly after.
There have been other ways to do this for years but this is better

Chapter #1329 in expensive rail travel.
We're a family of four planning a three hour journey next month.
Return trip fuel cost by car ~£40 (plus car wear and tear etc).
Return trip by rail - if booked with advance fares over a month in advance: £242.
Sustainable travel, unsustainable pricing.

Right who's in charge of the PR for mice, please? Because they're having a quite incredible week and it's only Tuesday.
(At this rate I guess the whole PR outfit is run by the mice themselves).

My phone memories tell me that Chester made its castle-walls ‘pee proof’, and on this day in 2016 we simulated this in the studio.

We discussed ‘the worst ever winter wonderlands’ today.
Delighted that we tracked down Emma Craven. She was an elf who got slapped by an angry customer at ‘Lapland New Forest’ in 2008. She said the organisers tried to put antlers on goats to make them into reindeer.
