It's not every day you get to play a Reform-leaning aristocratic Colonel Mustard with a pipe *and* monocle, so you better believe I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Started listening to this earlier and it's excellent. So much covered, and there's still about an hour and a half left...
In this incredibly rare chat, I'm joined by THE Adam Riches - known for his high-energy character work, from Sean Bean to Michael Ball!
We discuss rethinking Edinburgh, audience participation as a superpower, industry challenges and how Dungeons ’n Bastards rekindled Adam's creative spark.

McDONALDS EMPLOYEE:
Number 187?
CUSTOMER:

CUSTOMER:
Maybe I pressed the wrong thing?
I just ordered one strawberry milkshake.
4
EMPLOYEE:
Oh - yeah sorry
5
EMPLOYEE:
The milkshake machine’s not working.
6
EMPLOYEE:
The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.
7
CUSTOMER:
Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah
8
[We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter]
EMPLOYEE:
If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage.

[Customer looks inside the cup]

[Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup]
CUSTOMER:

This is a fantastically important and timely initiative from Channel 5 and one I hope will be emulated by the other UK channels. New stories and fresh voices are so needed right now - and so are opportunities to enable people to survive in a crumbling industry.

Time for GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S FRANKENSTEIN DISCOURSE!
I keep seeing people worry about whether del Toro properly did justice to Mary Shelley. And I have to ask: why is that del Toro's job more than anyone else's?
And also, didn't he?
And also, how could he? He's not a mother. 1/

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
