Such a pleasure to meet Harry Shearer today and such a challenge not to constantly say NOW DO THE VOICES PLEASE DO THE VOICES
no biggie but <squeal> I will be interviewing Harry Shearer this afternoon. What would you like me to ask?

Installed a Ring cam in my chicken coop and can honestly say these are the best Notifications I've ever had
Just having a totally normal one by kicking off the week with a 10am ride on the UK's tallest rollercoaster with my 'Rollercoaster' producer, Holly #hyperia
On Mel Brooks' 100th birthday, my favourite Mel Brooks quote: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die"
Hosting a radio show tonight, kickoff 10pm. I suspect my audience may be disproportionately Scottish and Welsh...
Every time I hear hype for 'machine learning' I remember how my Alexa persists in asking me if I want her to read out my Notifications and I've never once said yes

Just hearing about this. The best voice on the radio and the man whose broadcasting got me, and millions of others, into Country. Lots of love to Bob!

Breaking: Universal have today confirmed the name of their upcoming Bedford theme park and it's... [drumroll] UNIVERSAL UNITED KINGDOM RESORT. (Cue the sound of grateful Bedfordshire residents that at least they didn't go for 'London'...) #Universal #Bedford
Will be revealing some Universal Bedford news later this afternoon! In the meantime, am pleased to announce that season 2 of my show Rollercoaster - Universal's Bedfordshire Journey is coming soon to BBC Sounds & Three Counties Radio 🙏
What was the Hitler Moustache called... BEFORE Adolf Hitler? Helen and I (and Martin!) investigate, in AMT418 🎧 answermethispodcast.com/episode418
brain can't compute that the nice weather is coinciding with a public holiday, we are truly in the end times
The difficulty for all future PMs is surely that, whilst it was clear why the Tory PMs resigned (Cameron lost Brexit, May had parliamentary deadlock, Boris broke his own rules, Truss crashed the economy), Starmer is just... currently unpopular?
Thanks for the kind comments about my TimesRadio stint over the weekend - I'm back again tonight from 10pm, no prizes for guessing what we'll be talking about...
I've just had sight of what the Prime Minister will be saying in his 'reset' speech tomorrow. As soon as the embargo lifts at 22:30, I'll be discussing it on my Times Radio show.
