I don't think I directly mentioned this, but I will now because posting it makes it real. Weird, folky horror nostalgic comedy podcast 'Listen Through the Brown Window' is nominated for Best Comedy at the Independent Podcast Awards! The team are all very happy. That is all. See you there.

I've been on this and it was great fun! One of the few podcasts around about comics. Have a listen.

Vaun's been plagued by one health thing after another and yet he's still able to joke about it and make the rest of the Listen Through the Brown Window team laugh on a daily basis. Please help him out, so he can spend his time driving the bloody thing over my feet, or something.

Spent far too long faffing with scissors and glue putting together this diorama of Delia Derbyshire in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Stupidly pleased with my handiwork.

Great work from Georgy and a genuinely interesting bit of history. Why should Operation Mincemeat get all the glory?!

Sorry, forgot to mention Listen Through the Brown Window made it onto the #BritishPodcastAwards Best Comedy longlist. Say nice things now, because given the competition, we aren’t likely to make the shortlist next week!

One sibling is in the same industry as I started in, so I’d be fine. The other is a computer physics professor, so I’m not going near that one!

If you weren't aware, Harry's Home starring Phil Davis is available to listen to for free on YouTube. It's an authentic, gently funny and emotional play touching upon the day-to-day realism of living with a Alzheimer's sufferer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAf1...

The team having to invent a fictional patient and tell male investors a lovely story because they couldn’t comprehend or empathise with the concept of gynaecological pain is absolutely crackers.

Moved into my garden office for the night last night as it has aircon. Best night’s sleep in weeks. Had to crawl everywhere as it’s basically a pod hotel. Stop zooming in on my shelves, there’s nothing of interest you weirdos #noduvetknowitsaheatwave

So sad to hear this. Wally was one of the Mercury 13 - women who took the same tests as the Gemini 7 astronauts but never went to space. I’m glad she finally made it in 2021. She was fizzing ball of energy even in her late 70s. I’m so grateful I met her. edition.cnn.com/2026/07/09/s...

I am in Cyprus. I have never before been happier to go on holiday where the daily average temperature is still warm and sunny, but 7C less than today’s high in London.

In the chat for one of the local theatre groups. Would love to see a liberated, free love, hippie version.

Ooooh no! What happens now? I know, maybe set up a guided tour of all the locations featured. Or not-locations. Or implied locations.

Just driven myself mad trying to remember which film used an instrumental of Peter Gabriel’s Big Time, because Gary Davies just played it on Radio 2. Spaceballs. The answer is Spaceballs.

I was all over Broken Veil as soon as I heard about it - creepy folk hyper-real narrative? Yes please. And that was even before I discovered it was set in and around where I live. Always fun spotting the actual, real-but-not-real locations… anyway. Cough up, go listen.

The cast of Angelfish - a Chelmsford Theatre Workshop production in Chelmsford written by Bev Doyle (The Martian Chronicles for BBC Radio 4 and Going Postal for Sky TV) which finished its run on Saturday. What a gorgeous bunch and a joy to direct.
