Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Don't miss out on the run of Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond at Grand Theatre this and next week. The Grand Ambition team are knocking it out the park again. This is funny, heartbreaking and powerful theatre with its finger right on the pulse. Top performances all round.

Don't go. You'll always have Ammanford.

I did it about forty years ago. The rolling sea and the smell of diesel and chips still haunt me. I was so sick on the crossing that I looked immediately for a land-based way to get back. It would have taken an hour longer than if I had waited for a return on the boat. Don't do it.

Someone in my local reuse group is offering three books about Donald Trump. There are no takers.

Another icon gone. Lucky enough to see her in concert at the Dominion in 1990.

I'm sorry for your loss and send you condolences. As an adoptive father going through a challenging time, it was heartwarming to see your post and be reminded that love can win sometimes.

Most people are sharing their favourite images that double up as memes, so here's mine.

He was indeed a gentle, kindly man. He would offer any support generously. Although his struggles with English early on were the cause of wild hilarity among us, he was actually a profound teacher who integrated Alexander into the core of the college's approach. I often thought of him.

Iโ€™m talking about the closure of the National Theatre Wales, but.
Money in, theatre out.
Thatโ€™s how it works

The thing with theatre is you canโ€™t really expect it to become self-funding.
You have to think itโ€™s worth funding indefinitely; itโ€™s not a startup, itโ€™s not going to grow up some day and make money. Theatre doesnโ€™t make money. It makes experiences, connections, memories, community, it makes artists.

Really enjoyed my day yesterday working with the Torch Theatre - staff and board - on their new direction. Some thoughtful, decent people sharing their insights and working positively together on a theatre they love.

Sprinkles presented by The Other Room at Jacobs Market was really funny and affecting tonight. Really worth a visit in the run up to Christmas. So often brilliant and stalwart, Elin Phillips steps up to give a properly defining performance in this terrific monologue by Katie Elin Salt.

Richard Hawley was at Tramshed last night. Bernard Butler played in support. Wonderful gig. I can also confirm Hawley has small thumbs and a wife from Port Talbot.
