A little chain of this evening’s culture, following my earlier venture into cinema criticism. Tonight’s amble pods:
Super High Quality Podcast - life in The War on Drugs (the band, not the failed so-called policy) about their post Covid tours. Fascinating insight into musicians and touring
The Bugle - a satirical saunter around world news with Andy Zaltzman and guests. Consistently funny with some of the best puns out there.

(Continued) The Infinite Monkey Cage - wasps v bees. Remains pretty unmissable for pop science
History Hit on Toto Koopman - fascinating story about a bisexual heroine.
I have a fairly static roster of podcasts but like to dip into other stuff now and then. Recommendations always welcome, but #TestMatchSpecial trumps everything

On to books - I read every night in the bath. Current read is The Mabinogion, which is me trying to bone up on my Welsh folklore/mythology. Definitely an area I need to dive more deeply into. Tonight I finished the story of Peredur son of Efrog, an Arthurian tale.

Finally some telly: #Annika, a Scottish Scandi Noir with the incomparable #NicolaWalker - enjoying it thus far. Now on series 10 of #TheBlacklist which went beyond preposterous years ago but is unmissable because #JamesSpader. I would pay cash money to watch him do literally anything. #RichardWatchesTheTelly
