Today’s culture: morning listening was all #TestMatchSpecial, still the apex of human existence: people talking about test cricket - it has its own wonderful poetry. Afternoon, between calls, #6Music. Podcasts: #TMS, #TheWitchFarm and #InfiniteMonkeyCage on #BabySeaClowns;
Telly: #Trailblazers, #Avenue5 #TinkerTailorSoldierSpy. All good, apart from the latter which is the best of all the telly, IMHO. #Culture

@meer_salt delightful scene. And, do you listen to that podcast too on #babyseaclowns ?

Culture! Not done much, been working and listening to Cricket. Podcast: Richard Herring and Richard Osman; also #TheWitchFarm on the #BabySeaClowns. Book: #FolkloreOfDiscworld; telly #SlowHorses; fillum #LastOfTheMohicans and #LocalHero

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 inputs, for your information and critical insight
Morning amble soundtrack was This is What I Mean by Stormsy. Not really my cup of tea, but mellow and melancholic
Work soundtrack: Prokofiev piano concertos 1, 4 and 5 and Mahler’s 5th Symphony - not too many meetings today
Podcast: Marc Maron and Rob Delaney. Brilliant. Seek it out. Made me cry. Also Mark Steel and Disaster Trolls on the #BabySeaClowns
Book: Folklore of Discworld, just lovely. Telly to follow…

@meer_salt re #babyseaclowns - still gutted not to say hello to Jason Isaacs each week, but #comingstorm very good, although heartened a bit by the midterms.

Enough reverie. Cultural consumption today. Morning amble soundtrack was #Peasant by #RichardDawson, followed by #TheGlassTrunk. Bit of a fan. Work rest of today.
Podcast: #TheGatheringStorm on #BabySeaClowns - would be fascinating if it wasn’t so terrifying
Book: #GrimmTales by Philip Pullman. Now want more #FolkStory collections.
Telly: #NightSky on th’Amazons. Really enjoying it, three episodes in.
