@nwchapman I enjoy it immensely: also #Tailenders, which can be a bit Blokey but I am a fan. I don’t listen to much beyond #TMS but they are pretty good at having commentators from the opposition nations

Anyway, this evening’s culture. Podcasts started with #Tailenders, a loosely #Cricket based podcast, which I find immensely enjoyable. Think we need to grow the cricket community here in the Fediverse, it is one thing I do value on Birdsite. Also #ThingsFallApart, a special by Jon Ronson from the Hay Festival on BBC Sounds. It was a great series about the often surprising origins of the Culture Wars and this was a nice chat to accompany it - and reveal another series is coming.

Forgot my podcasts! #Tailenders was very funny. Enjoyed the new jingle. Also #HistoryHit on the recent German putsch attempt. Fascinating.

Let’s share some cultural inputs, and hope others chip in and discuss them
Morning amble soundtrack: Mr Beast by Mogwai - seeing them in the new year, so strange and brutal and beautiful
Daytime vinyl: Pornography by #TheCure - greeting an old friend after many years
Pod: #Tailenders, #BadWomen and #ISIHAC
Book: Folklore of #Discworld - stories and stuff
Telly: #TheEnglish (brilliant) #Avenue5 (better) #SmileysPeople (sublime)

Other culture, while I remember.
Morning amble soundtrack: The Invisible Way by Low. Just beautiful and sad and beautiful again #GNUMimi
Day music: Bright Magic by Public Service Broadcasting, just want to go to Berlin now
Podcasts: #Tailenders, just love it; I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue on #BabySeaClowns. Also Disaster Trolls. Shocking
Telly: #DeadToMe, #ThePeripheral #ThePatient - good, getting better, only just started #Culture

Today’s cultural intake
Morning amble soundtrack #Juju by Siouxie and the Banshees, still a dazzling piece of wonder
Mainly TMS for the morning, then Everything was Forever by #SeaPower
Podcast #Tailenders celebrating 5 years, and #TheWitchFarm which was really creepy
Telly #GhostsUS (funny) #KarenPirie (intriguing) and #GangsOfLondon (absolutely brutal, stunningly so)
