Question time immigration special with mike Tapp, Kieran Mullan, daisy cooper, Zack Polanski and Zia Yusuf.

Update: Apologies I was due to be on Have I got News for You this week. We've now postponed until 2026.

To go on Question Time and speak up for migrants right now feels vital.

Thank you very much.👍

Not an original question, but is there a decent paper or article anywhere, detailing what the proposed parking/transit arrangements will be? I grew up in South Hobart in the 1980s and if you missed the last bus from Franklin Sq at 6:15pm, that was pretty much it.

Sparing a thought for the folk of #Hobart #Tasmania (my place of youth) who look like they've been lumped with a vast infernal debt-laden building project that was strongly advised against by rigorous economic study but was pushed through anyway.
Experts...eh? What do they know? 😠

Have always liked that typeface used for 'Radio Training'

I did wonder…

What will it change though? Apart from the occasional political one-liner about ‘getting a poor deal’, no-one near power wants to talk about Brexit, preferring to just keep the corner tidy where the elephant sits.

If it wasn’t for motor traffic and scooter riders’ personal mandate to dress as ninjas, the cycle commute at this time of year would be most pleasant.

Surely Mr Gove will be along to declare “we’ve had enough of experts”.

A book, entitled Keywords in Sound

Some more reading has arrived.

I suspect the BBC is lots of different things to different people and because it’s difficult to grasp it as a whole, it might be even more difficult to grasp what it would be to lose.

I greatly enjoyed my time there (some years ago now).

Not dis-similar for me: visited the UK for a year and spent a summer in the inner Hebrides in the late 90s. Moved back to Aus, started a career but always felt a pull back to the UK. Now here for twenty years.

Is there concrete evidence of this?

Yes, I remember reading this when it came out. Some excellent points as ever from Rusbridger, but the 'clumsy error' comment jars a bit.

A microphone, a stick of celery and a two plastic cups - for recording foley sound effects - placed on top of a closed Mac laptop, which is itself lying on a wooden tabletop.

Foley paraphernalia. No particular reason.

Very sharp paragraph.

A blue plaque on a building - which normally highlights the property’s connection to a famous person - proclaiming that Tolkien never lived here.

Portland, Dorset

During the pandemic, I had a Zoom chat with a colleague, desk-bound in his lovely post studio. I asked what mic he was using as his voice on the call sounded great.
“Just the mic in my MacBook”

Put it to a referendum, perhaps…?

Possibly the sort of heat-seeking missiles that land within two miles of the target, and then have to catch a replacement bus service to arrive at the epicentre.

It’s a good listen. Now thinking about 32bit float in new ways.

Did they get the piano?

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Chris Hedges talks with Dave about journalism, censorship and empire

Great conversation between Chris Hedges and Dave Milner, during Hedges' Australian visit.

Talking of which…I use the phrase ‘gumption trap’ quite often, if ever referring to a drop in my enthusiasm.

Very Zen

Surely a long and arduous process in itself, though?

Gulp! Starting an Ed Doc (part time around everything else). Send chocolate as I'll be a while.
Research around critical listening, aural diversity and the co-creation of inclusive learning experiences in the sound studio.

'Holland-ander'. Just to be doubly sure it's not the Spiderman one.
