You could probably get away with saying "fuck sample" instead of "for example". Try it today and let me know the results.

My AirPods keep the sound centred even if I move my head left and right. It’s cool that it works, but I would prefer the music to still sound good, even when a guy in a fun hat walks past.

The narrative podcast which I made, with a cast full of brilliant talents and absolute nobodies, is over for series one. All 24 episodes are now bingeable if you're the sort of person who likes to wait and binge. I think it's one of the better things I've offered the public in my time.

A lot of people don’t realise how small Mark Watson is in real life.

It’s a perspective joke so basically if you rely on alt text, you’re just not gonna get it. It’s ok, there will be other jokes for you.

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.
