But the latest episode of Talking France from @thelocalfrance.bsky.social gets first play. Because it's essential (and often very entertaining) listening for foreigners in France, like me. Oh, and I'm in it.

After a reassuringly strong first episode of the new season of @heavyweight.bsky.social, I got the kind of flutter in my heart that your teenage self might've felt upon receiving a text from your crush, when I just saw that telling orange tile among my new episodes. I am so in love with this show.

It's a long shot (given that I'm an English lass in France with about 10 followers), but IF you happen to be passing through #California today, switch your #radio on and tune into KPFA (94.1 FM) for 24 hours of programming dedicated to #Internationalwomensday

Back in January, I spotted a #pitchcallout which aligned perfectly with an #audio #documentary I had in mind. To my utter delight, my pitch was accepted - and 'The Art of Exile' will be featured as part of @kpfa.org's #IWD programming. The #IWD2026 theme #givetogain feels very apt.

Coming to the airwaves soon... I'm both excited and terrified to be putting my audio work out into the world again! These stories need to be heard and it's a huge privilege (and responsibility) to be the one who gets to tell them.

And that right there is why #downloads arent an accurate way to measure #podcast #audiences. Sure, I'll listen to some of the automatically downloaded episodes, but not all of them. And yes, this is a @pocketcasts.com feature I can switch off, but if you're listening on a iPhone, you can't.

"It’s in the messy middle of a story that’s gone off the rails that creators are often found wandering the halls, pouring their seventh cup of coffee, wondering whether to finally apply for a job at the post office." - @elaineagrant.bsky.social I'm feeling this.

Did you know that the first 'voice' sounded like a fart? I didn't, until I heard this episode of @radiolab.bsky.social which takes the listener all the way from our fishy evolutionary beginnings to the modern inventions that aid speech, via beautifully spliced conversation and thoughtful narration.

"Here is sculpture being used as an instrument for awareness of being. What is the subject? Well, the subject is your experience of being within the field. Whatever you bring in will be amplified." - Anthony Gormley on Walter De Maria's The Lightening Field', for @thisculturallife.bsky.social ⚡

Being rather late to the @heavyweight.bsky.social party, I told myself to relax as I gobbled up every episode. "They've got a new home, there's more of this stuff," I reasoned. And there is - but not until THE SUMMER!! Time to find myself a space in the same boat as everyone else...

Finding respite from the news in these newly discovered (how did they bypass my childhood self?) glorious #booktitles from Joan Aiken. P.S. Don't tell Trump about The Last Slice of Rainbow. He'll either snaffle it for his own benefit or promise to put an end to rainbows all together.
