Atomised media, concentrated gatekeeping. Content creators can’t find sinecured jobs and are forced to rattle tins - while a tiny number of tech giants reap the rewards. A must-read cri de cœur from BAFTA-winning producer and writer @mattnida.com.

Sad to hear that bassist and composer Yoshio Suzuki died last week. His two albums on JVC’s Music Interior sub-label are absolutely delightful - especially Morning Picture. I featured a few of his tunes in my Mostly Listening label retrospective back in June.

RIP William Orbit, the producer who sparked my never-ending interest in how records were made. Coincidentally, last week’s Mostly Listening delved into his early demos for Ray of Light, my favourite album of the 90s. Proper tribute mix incoming.

The bathos of this Abbey Road crossing livecam - now with a temporary crossing due to roadworks - is exquisite. Last night I watched a bloke lob a traffic cone into a bush. 10/10.

Thrilled to unveil the Laughing Matters Fellowship cohort - an incredible brains trust of producers and writers who I’ll be working with as part of my comedy and climate work at OKRE. The UK has the best comedy talent in the world; I can’t wait to see how they tackle the biggest crisis of our age.

SNL UK gives me the same feeling of excitement I got as a teen in the 90s discovering Reeves & Mortimer and repeats of Not The Nine O’Clock News at the same time. I love this show so much.

The Ditch is a fantastic radio station broadcasting from my home turf in Leyton, with a playlist mainly focused on electronics and rare groove and some brilliant DJ shows (including the wonderful folksong deep-dive Sing Songs & Talk About Them). Listen here and check their archives here.

New York Television is a new online community television station from @kaye.bsky.social (who records wonderful music as Time Wharp). This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time.

Obviously there's been a ton of takes on the #DoctorWho finale already, but none asking the crucial question: what was it like to watch this at 3am with food poisoning? Available now wherever podcasts are found!

Obviously people are correctly posting bangers from Pet Sounds etc, but I'd like the record to also reflect just how much pleasure my 7 year-old gets from this song. Goodnight Brian. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGFs...

Proud Wire subscriber here. You should subscribe too. It's sensational value for the worlds it opens up to the adventurous listener, and the online archive (back to the 80s!) is astonishing.

Oh for the days when being a Doctor Who critic meant tossing around a few phrases like "Holmesian double act" and "pseudo-historical" and calling it a day. #DoctorWho

*ILL* EXPLAIN LATER! Alas, a medical malaise - feared to be Spectrox toxaemia - has struck the @illexplainlater.bsky.social crew, so no The Story & the Engine hot take this week. But never fear - we’ll be back very soon to continue our Season Two/Series 15 chat!
