Would you prefer to live on an extremely remote active British volcano or the Hampshire coast?
I'm deep in the weeds making a new series about a different British remote island, but this piqued my interest and provided welcome distraction.

I saw 193 year old Jonathan last month and he seemed well. Staff said he liked the sun…and trying to mate with his pals in the garden.

@rogermosey @thetimes V interesting - but when you say audiences for linear programmes are "collapsing". That might be the case for television, but certainly not for linear radio. Last year was a new record for people tuning into live programming.

A tough listen but I strongly recommend the podcast The Pitcairn Trials presented by @LukeJones Dreadful history of abuse on the remote Pacific island. Available on @BBCSounds. Brilliantly told through the experiences of the survivors.

@LukeJones @ApplePodcasts I can attest that this is indeed one of the best podcasts of the year.

More reason to listen... beyond just me saying "please it is very good and took a long time to make".
@ApplePodcasts have picked The Pitcairn Trials as one of the best shows of the year so far.

With #RAJAR s out today...here is your quarterly reminder that linear radio is not linear television.
Just under 50 million people are tuning into *live* radio every week.
This is how that has changed in the last decade... (spot Covid)
