New merch (plus the James Borrer benefit shirt) over at our website if anyone cares to have a look. Not trying to tempt you, or anything, but it involves jigsaw puzzles... www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/pages/store

I think you overestimate our fundraising powers, sadly...

Of course it did.. It couldn't not have. Doesn't make it less outrageous though!

Also, here are the timings (subject to change) for tonight's gig. We are due to play for 1 hour, again subject to change.

I've written something - I hesitate to call it an essay, but I suppose it might be - about art, creativity and AI. If you're not bored of reading about those things, here it is (free to read): www.patreon.com/u85581309/po...

Would you mind having a look now please sir and letting me know? Apparently it should be fixed.

We're not celebrities - we're very normal, very boring people

Sigh. I've asked the powers that be to have a look... thanks for letting me know.

The swifts are back in south-east London

A lot of them wouldn't have bothered listing it online if (as it probably did) it sold out in shops on the day

If you're interested in the world and not reading these posts, allow me to recommend them. Hardly an insider tip as it's the most popular political substack in the UK, but still, it's nice to read a grown-up for once.

And another. Sigh.... (and for anyone wondering, no, I send them back and say I'm not answering AI-generated interview questions)

Normally a music supervisor recommends the song.. Publishers obviously try to have good relationships with supervisors for that very reason. As for how it pays, definitely better than bog standard background plays on UK TV / radio but (sadly) nothing particularly impactful, especially after % splits

Go on, it's Friday, treat yourself to... a Q4 2025 edition of 'which premium streaming service pays the best / worst?'! No prizes for guessing that Spotify are easily outpaid by pretty much everyone else. Great stuff, guys! www.patreon.com/posts/stream...

Well yes, obviously. I sent it back and said 'this is AI, no thanks.'

Another strike for this, a clearly AI-generated 'interview' sent through for me this week. It's so lazy and so insulting, not just to me but to readers. And counter-productive. It demeans the value of every side of the equation. 'Journalists' - please, don't.

Going on *on the planet, of course. So excited by chiffchaffs I've slipped up, there

Public Service Broadcasting HQ @psbhq.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Whatever else is going on the planet, it's all happening in bird-world at the moment. I highly recommend 20-30 minutes of walking / watching / listening if you can. Chiffchaffs are back, as are blackcaps (the ones that left). Only a month and a bit til the swifts. Birds are great.

Forgive the nonsense. I woke up thinking about that, for no discernible reason, and just now decided to void my brain to the internet for the same reason.

Anything! Qobuz is the very best though. But all the rest (paid premium) are much better.

I should think they'd be rather expensive. Parp

They also played it at the wrong sample rate, I'm pretty sure. Probably didn't help
