Yes: Go to a record shop, browse through the records, talk to the staff and other customers, make new friends and discover new music. All while helping to make sure that we still have physical shops like these in years to come. Asking Claude takes all the joy out of it. Next week, bookshops!

This week, we are changing things up a little with a bonus episode on The Simpsons Movie, which came out in the summer of 2007. And we are joined by our very own Sideshow Mel, Melissa C from Montreal – a Simpsons superfan with a divinely dusty Italian accent. shows.acast.com/689087df0bb1...

I saw my wife, slightly drunk, yelling at the TV: 'Don't go in there! Don't go in the church, you moron!' Apparently, she's watching our wedding video again.

If you answer your phone here in Germany and it's a wrong number, the person is likely to apologise and sign off with a polite "Auf Wiederhören", which literally means "until we talk again". Wait ... what? Are they planning on making this wrong number a regular thing?

Hey @metalkevin.bsky.social - just been catching up on your excellent episodes on Slayer (GHUS) and the two Use Your Illusion albums. Agree with you on Don't Cry and the majesty of Civil War and YCBM but I much prefer the second volume, ESPECIALLY tracks like Estranged and Locomotive.

If you think closing an RNLI station is done by people with "legitimate concerns" you really need to give your head a wobble. It's an unforgivable act of thuggery.

Literature in translation is great because it opens up imaginative worlds and places that were closed off to you. If it has to be made into a simulacrum of the US to be published, what’s the point?

This is actually a terrible example. A billionaire doesn’t make a billion quid a year, that’s their total worth -assets, insurance, bank balance as well as income. If a person’s total worth was $100K they wouldn’t be a homeowner and their salary would be five figures.
