Podcast: The Clearing
I love Katherine May’s writing. I love Oliver Burkeman’s thinking. EP3 of this podcast has them talking about his dream retreat. A lovely, calming listen for the holiday period.

The art print company is 25 years old and celebrates that with an exhibition at the Carl Freedman Gallery in Margate. Lots of great art there, but it just reminded me how much I love David Shrigley (below). If you don’t know his work and need a smile, look him up.

Documentary: AlphaGo
Greg Kohs' atmospheric, award-winning film about the 2016 tournament between world Go champion Lee Sedol and DeepMind. If you’re wondering what place human creativity will have as AI grows in complexity, this is a good place to start.

Book: The Maniac
Benjamin Labatut skilfully blends fact and fiction in his mind-blowing imagining of the life of Johnny von Neumann, the brilliant Hungarian mathematician who invented Game Theory, helped create the atomic bomb, and laid the foundations for AI.

Comedy: Jin Hao Lee
On a mixed bill with much bigger names (Lou Sanders, Sam Campbell, Tom Rosenthal) in Folkestone this week, Lee stood out for originality and sheer likeability.

Film: King Rocker
Stewart Lee’s entertaining and affectionate doc about Rob Lloyd, leader of Birmingham’s largely unsung post-punk experimentalists The Nightingales. It’s online, but we saw it in Margate, with Lee and director Michael Cummings’ discussing how they made the film against all the odds

Welsh talking about Men In Love, his latest foray into the Trainspotting universe. And his new album, expanding the novel’s theme of miscommunication between men and women.

Film: Running Man
Slipped off to the cinema on a cold, wet Monday afternoon to see Edgar Wright’s latest. It’s extremely silly but also highly entertaining. Though I felt it missed opportunities to score a few sharper points in places.
