I have put my Listener review of @questingvole.bsky.social Sam Leith's A Haunted Wood up on my website a year later in case anyone is interested and missed it the first time. www.rachael-king.com/review-the-h...
What a hugely generous review. Thrilled by it. Thank you. Self-promoting reskeet incoming!
I’m very honoured to hear you say that. Thank you!
New newsletter, on why people write poetry but don’t read it, and some other bits and bobs
🙏

So sorry. You are absolutely right. An embarrassing error on my part.

Thank you, Helene. Very flattered you liked it.
Oh you are a doll. Thank you. I wish the readers shared your enthusiasm!
IKR?

That, apparently, is taking back control of the UK border.
Hanna Pickard’s What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine? explores the philosophy of addiction and asks readers to think beyond traditional models of understanding it. Listen to her interview with @questingvole.bsky.social for @thespectator1828.bsky.social podcast: buff.ly/Qweycq8
It’s a kink at this point. She gets some sort of thrill from being humiliated by the free market.
You should write a book about how crazy the UK is
the actual story of what happened at the National Endowment for the Humanities last year is even more infuriating than we thought
Thank you. I think Luke is very interesting. Hope you enjoy the newsletter. I’m feeling my way. It won’t *all* be addiction stuff, I promise!
I've started a Substack for bits and pieces. First post asks the pressing question of our times: What Would You Do Alone In A Cage With Nothing But Cocaine?
