I *loved* writing it!

It's International Podcast Day! What better time to celebrate with my pods - interviews, comedy, stories and more! Before The Bar Opens, Clearing The Air, Dodgy Voiceover Direction, The Title Track, When We Got To The Seventh, and Who Do You Think I Am?

I have to say, I'm weary of The Algorithm. 

I'm seeing lots of stuff about crafting social media updates that will please The Algorithm with the hope it might reward us with visibility. 

Honestly, I just want to do my work and share bits of it along the way in a way that reflects who I am.

A different kind of day today. I'm in Manchester City Centre working in a converted mill. Such a beautiful space.

Tonight will be the first Friday night in ages where I don't have to be in bed by 8. I’m on holiday from my Radio 3 Saturday Breakfast show this week, which means a full weekend off too! What should I do? I've forgotten how to do weekends!
