We’ve lost James Burrows, and that’s a very sad thing. Multi-cam sitcoms are hokey now, a dying art, but he was an absolute master of them. Taxi, Cheers, Friends, Will & Grace - he took stage sensibility to the screen and figured out how to make the cameras perform a ballet.

Did the first table-read for a full-cast audiobook I’m narrating, and have just come outside to enjoy the post-hailstorm sun and discovered I’ve grown one stupidly perfect strawberry. A good day.

“Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats. And, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and... everybody lives happily ever after.”

Apropos of nothing (and certainly not a trailer dropping) quick reminder that Terry Pratchett was fucking great, and consuming media made by bigots is a shit thing to do! Also last year we did an episode about Gender on the Discworld with lovely messages of trans inclusion from some great people.

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m woman-adjacent at best, but I’ve written about a lot of women in my book on American Teen Dramas (www.joannahagan.co.uk) Here’s a thread of my favourite “I support women’s wrongs” characters from each show in the book.

I’m not particularly romantic but I am very willing to find any excuse to cook steak and a fancy dessert* *triple-checked that spelling after a lot of cock-ups in the @makeyefretpod.bsky.social episode plans

I haven’t posted much recently because I’ve been trying to be less online (for the morbs, you understand) so I’ve been sewing stuff instead.

Genuinely gutted to hear Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away. She was fantastic. As Dawn in Buffy she made an impossible story work, and she stole every scene of Gossip Girl she appeared in. She’s going to be missed.
