Today @thetimes.com has dropped its paywall. From The Culture Magazine, I’ve particularly enjoyed reading @januszczak.bsky.social cover story interview with Grayson Perry, Rosamund Urwin on Steven Bartlett, Johanna Thomas Corr’s interview with Michael Morpurgo and 25 best albums of the C21st

So glad to see Phoebe McIndoe and @redzi.bsky.social's brilliant series County Lines getting recognition in both @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social's Observer column and @patricianicol.bsky.social's @thetimes.com radio review this morning. If you haven't yet listened it's repeated on Radio 4 today...

"County Lines deftly, heartbreakingly unfolded every family’s worst nightmare... a joltingly, grimly compelling programme. Key to that is its thoughtfulness and the eerie, arresting beauty of its production: McIndoe also scored the music." @patricianicol.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-r...
