Today @thetimes.com has dropped its paywall. From The Culture Magazine, I’ve particularly enjoyed reading @januszczak.bsky.social cover story interview with Grayson Perry, Rosamund Urwin on Steven Bartlett, Johanna Thomas Corr’s interview with Michael Morpurgo and 25 best albums of the C21st

If you haven't yet listened it's repeated on Radio 4 today...

"County Lines deftly, heartbreakingly unfolded every family’s worst nightmare... a joltingly, grimly compelling programme. Key to that is its thoughtfulness and the eerie, arresting beauty of its production: McIndoe also scored the music." @patricianicol.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-r...
Children as drug mules and the end of Josie Long’s Short Cuts
Radio 4 reveals the national catastrophe of drug dealing in County Lines —but is the station turning its back on quality documentaries, asks Patricia Nicol
