Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Listening to Round About Town the other day, I burst out laughing at “that plant pot, he’s not even a good postman.” Lovely stuff. 110
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Got mine today too! Felt like a kid coming out with a box of fireworks or train set. 130
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Isn’t it? And I can’t imagine scrapping Free Thinking is going to make much of a dent in £500k. 100
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Another Avenue of pleasure closed off. One of my favourites. Sorry to hear this Mathew. 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I had no idea this existed. Yes it’s wonderful, thank you. 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I’m a few episodes behind as yet but thoroughly enjoying them. My favourite weekly listen. 021
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Same. And I still accidentally say kwinower now and again. 220

Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 23/08/2026When I first saw this painting I thought it looked familiar, then realised I walk down that lane most days and look at more or less the same view from my window! 022

Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Cannot stop watching. They’re human in an entirely unintended way. The overreaching ambition, the pathos, the flailing loss of dignity! 2181
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The moment they begin to look human, when they’re defeated and broken. Addictive viewing! 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Before you leave, can I just say how much I’m enjoying Auditory. It gets better and better, a terrific undertaking. See you ‘round the clubs. 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I reckon at least two Orwells in there. Also, Wind in the Willows? 120
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Remember going to Aylesbury a few times in the 90s, seeing it from a distance, like a hulking ship across the fields, amazing! 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Brilliant photo, thought it was an impressionist painting at first. 110
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Picked mine up this morning. Looking forward to a weekend of indulging in the Prefab Four! 110
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I think some people’s idea of grandmother is a permanent wartime Land Girl rather than someone alive and well in the 1970s who was very familiar with the products of Vesta, Fray Bentos, Findus, Birds etc. 290
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Blew my mind visiting Jodrell Bank as a child. I still think it’s one of the most beautiful structures in Britain. 052
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Yes! Blew my mind visiting it as a kid and still think it’s one of the most beautiful optimistic structures in Britain. 020

I’ve selected plenty of Paul McCartney’s stranger things. Giddy for this to air. Reposts appreciated. Tune in, Paul! @reaktionbooks.bsky.social @stuartmaconie.bsky.social #6Music #PaulMcCartney 97938
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I’ve got that bloody B.A. Robertson song stuck in my head now. 000
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 22/07/2026‘And cynics will marvel and say, 'we confess, There were times when we thought it was just an address.'’ Some of my favourite Paddy lyrics in that song. 010
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 19/07/2026If I had to pick one out I reckon it’s Under the Volcano for me. Both All the Devils Are Here and the Stephen Fry De Profundis episodes both come immediately to mind too. But then yes there’s the Patrick Hamilton one, oh and there’s…. 091
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 15/07/2026We have a similar plan! Just haven’t worked out how to afford it yet.. 100
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 12/07/2026In Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene, the priest and the mayor, on their road trip, park up their ancient SEAT 600 each lunchtime and picnic on the finest manchego cheese and wine. 141
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The New York skyline before curtain wall glass skyscrapers. 020
Mart @martriley.bsky.social · 02/07/2026The Doors. Because some pricks I knew briefly 40 years ago wanged on about Jim Morrison’s poetic brilliance. And Leonard Cohen come to that. I realise I’m the one missing out but I still can’t go there. 0140
