Anyway, I feel that TFTM is probably in the world’s top 5 best podcasts & this episode was VERY good. Give it a go, if you can get past the concept of ‘Muscles Fortnight’

TFTM is very much like those American podcasts full of braying dudebros, except that we both recognise that we're complete arseholes.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Spare a thought for the previous seventh-youngest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goal involvements who tonight must face up to now being the eighth-youngest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goal involvements.

I've just spent three hours in Alan's current world of mental health and this still stands. Incredible.

Andy Dawson @andydawson.bsky.social · 20d

Too tired to do a list but what I will say is that IN MY OPINION* Alan Partridge is easily the greatest comedy character of all time.

Over 30 years of evolution with barely a missed step. Astonishing.

(*Sadly, and as always, I am not interested in your opinions)

Today is heading towards being a Partridge binge day

Ahead of the brilliant new Alan Partridge series - which is available on iPlayer right now - I interviewed writers @neilgibbons.bsky.social and Rob Gibbons for @radiotimes.bsky.social.

Alan Partridge writers reveal what's new with the hapless broadcaster: 'We're just constantly trying not to repeat ourselves'

Partridge takes a characteristically awkward dive into mental health in his new series, How Are You?.
