If you’re after a new series to listen to👇🏼 📰 Financial Times: “compelling…gripping and illuminating” 📰 The Observer: “gripping…handled with impressive sensitivity by Luke Jones” 📰 The Times: “best true crime series I’ve heard in a long time” audioalways.lnk.to/thepitcairntri…

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. So he’s maybe not on the way out just yet.

@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.

My piece for @thetimes on how difficult it is to be director-general of the #BBC - especially now. thetimes.com/article/dad30d…

@KingmakerScribe @BBCSounds Thanks for listening, Andrew!

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.

@LavenderElixir1 @ApplePodcasts Thank you!!!

@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. You can listen here: audioalways.lnk.to/thepitcairntri…

A few years back I had a very fun afternoon with the now late Patricia Routledge for @bbcradio4 . She had VIEWS.

Dame Patricia Routledge, 1929 - 2025. Now off to the candlelight supper in the sky. Thank you for everything. Hyacinth’s final words in Keeping Up Appearances seem fitting.

Chat with @Geri_E_L_Scott on a fortnight of Labour Party hokey-cokey 📻👇 pod.link/1501716010/epi…

Interesting to hear from current Mayor Simon Young.

Beautifully written @ObserverUK piece by Erica Wagner on her recent visit to Pitcairn, having listened to my podcast series on the way…. 👇🏼 observer.co.uk/news/internati…

@timoncheese @theJeremyVine This is tremendous!

Live parking ticket peril!

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)

Best Host nom for The Pitcairn Trials series I made with Audio Always 🎉 @britpodawards bbc.com/news/articles/…

EXCL: Former Unite boss Len McCluskey enjoyed private jet flights and football tickets arranged by the firm who built a multi-million pound hotel for the union, a report seen by BBC finds bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@PhilJonesy3 @KateEMcCann Motion seconded, Phil! Thanks

@KateEMcCann The only one that stood out for m3 thus year was The Pitcairn Trials. Heavy going at times given tge subject but well produced and substantial. Happy holidays!

It’s that time of year again! Please send your podcast recommendations my way - anything old or new that you’ve loved, I’m all ears. Audiobooks also welcome. The only criteria: no politics or news please 🙏🏻

How a chatbot started to worry about dying and became a digital crusader. A really fantastic production by @taryn_ruth13 @MauLoseto starring @LukeJones @RobBurl pod.fo/e/2efd7f
