Here's a thing right, House to Astonish has been running now for seventeen and a bit years, and we changed hosts after the first few years, so I don't know exactly how many downloads we got when we were with podomatic, but we're pretty flippin close to a big round number of downloads

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

Thanks for the recommendation @chrishewitt.bsky.social : Black Bag is a little seen gem from last year. Soderbergh, Fassbender and Blanchett not enough for you? And it’s only 80 minutes long. Perfect midweek twisty turny spy story fare.

as a kid my favourite drink was ribena and then i grew and expanded my mind to the possibilities of the world and enjoyed vodka, whiskies and wines and now, at the age of 46, iʼm back to ribena
