Hey Ian! Still with the production company that looks after some 6M output. My title has changed, however. Which is why you no longer hear me on with Chris. I’m an Executive Producer now πŸ™πŸΌ

@scottygb.bsky.social I have a media-related question for you, Scott. I hope it’s something you may be able to shed some light on: We can all agree that local journalism is vital. So how can they be allowed to pollute their articles with the worst kind of pop up ads, making it all unreadable?

I’m going to be a massive cliche and tell you how chuffed I am to have produced my first ever show from Broadcasting House this morning.

Needed to ask though: as a regular World Service listener, I’ve always wondered why they say β€˜co.uk’ as β€˜see-oh dot you-kay’ and not the more commonly used β€˜coe dot you-kay’?

Just listened to the bees ep and really enjoyed it (and encouraged me to keep planting flowers in the garden). Thanks for the great recommendation - more eps lined up!

I’m on a BBC Sounds binge and would love to hear your recommendations! I’m currently enjoying:

- Rare Earth

- Postwar
- Brass Banding with Hannah Peel
- Political Thinking

Tell me: Whether it’s something you love or something you’ve made please leave a comment - I’d love to hear it.

Can you explain why saltwater comes into the equation and why sea water - in its abundance - can’t be used?
