This is as exciting as a book launch.

Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

Andrea Ashworth wrote a classic of Mancunian literature. Why did she vanish from view? My search for the author of ‘Once in a House on Fire’ led to the other side of the world - and to a tantalising revelation

Looking back at my journalism this year, I think my favourite piece was the interview with Andrea Ashworth, author of ONCE IN A HOUSE ON FIRE, which ran on @millmedia.bsky.social

My least-read book is a magical Christmas rom-com set in a mobile library in a gritty northern town. Two of the ensemble cast are dogs which fall in love. No, I’ve no idea why it wasn’t marketed and nobody bought it, either.

How the BBC censored the line that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history” This sentence was cut from the broadcast of the 2025 Reith Lectures for "legal reasons" - but do those supposed legal reasons make sense?

I have done a treat post for those kind enough to be paying subscribers.

It's the time of year when people are putting out lists of best books of the year. So why not tell an author you've loved their book this year? Because not being on those lists makes many authors sad. You can make them happy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Mithras: Is an ancient Roman god really the reason for the season?

[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].

SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys  and welcome to the podcast

3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment 

JON:
Ooh-er!

4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”

5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!

6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?

7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...

8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.

SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!

9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics

10 
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?

SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.

[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]

11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.

12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?

JON:
Mm.

13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -

…and do you remember what I said, Jon?

14
JON:
You said, “No”.

SMART SPEAKER: 
I said no. 

15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…

16 
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually 
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...

17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.

18 
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!

19
JON:
Apart from one.

SMART SPEAKER:

Settling in after Thought Bubble, which remains a tonic, and pure comics. I was chatting to newbubber Chloe Maveal about it and she summed it up simply: "I haven't seen a Funko in three days." For a con to be as big as it is, and still be as comics as it is makes it a treasure

It's an amazing feeling, being part of something that only one or two people have read, until December 4th, when you get your chance to read what I've been banging on about for months and months and months.
