My Pick of the Week is up. I had SO many brilliant programmes to choose from @bbcradio4 @bbcradio3 and @bbcworldservice that at one point I had a list of about twenty must-haves. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m....

Does 'Blue Monday' really exist? It is the most miserable day of the year, we are told, but is there any data to supports the claim?

I've not reposted my #bluemonday is nonsense column @bbc_future for a while because it seemed to get mentioned less in the last couple of years. But this year I've had masses of press releases about it again. So here it is www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I'm presenting Pick of the Week @bbcradio4 on Sunday, so I'm listening out for special moments of radio. If you've heard anything brilliant since Saturday anywhere on BBC audio do let me know.

The Ideas List - 1. Mondex - BBC Sounds Claudia Hammond revisits a bold experiment in digital cash, launched in Swindon

My new series started @BBCRadio4 today. 30 years ago I made a list of science ideas for an interview as BBC trainee science producer. Found the list in my pile of paper to recycle in the printer. So I followed up the ideas. 30 years late, but shows no idea is wasted. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Ooh thank you. That’s lovely to hear!

This week I was a guest on The Archers Podcast with ⁦‪@emmafreud‬⁩, the actor Paul Copley who as well as being in everything plays Leonard and @robdrummond who was brilliant on accents in the Archers. It was good fun www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The small exercise that's a powerful mood booster Counting our blessings is an age-old piece of advice – but it turns out that writing lists of good things that happen to us actually does help improve our mood.

The three good things mood boost. My latest column @bbcfuture is on one of psychology's most well-known interventions. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Luckily this Dalek can’t get me because it’s behind a rope. Just one day left to nominate a project or person for an All in the Mind Award ⁦‪@BBCRadio4‬⁩ for supporting your #mentalhealth. Closes at 1pm on Wed 8th Jan 2025 www.bbc.co.uk/allinthemindawards
