Yes, that was exactly the analogy I was thinking of.

It's a brilliant collection. It was permanently in my in-car cd changer when they were a thing

Thanks so much for doing this Ian. If you could include my mum: Sue Ashton (no relation to Lord Ashton, but I did go to school at LRGS down the road) #Mums26

Its my theory that the "successful" leaders are the ones who don't change like that when they leave office (Thatcher and Blair spring to mind)

I think that's a very charitable reading of her motivations, but you may be right

To be fair, it doesn't always need a car, for some people a shopping trolley will suffice for all reason to disappear

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social 's @originstorypodcast.bsky.social episode on appeasement (and the one on the daily mail) explain just how pro Hitler/Nazi Germany some papers were

What a great chat and a great film. Not watched it in about 25-30 years and now feel compelled to remedy that

It's one of my favourite shows of all time. It's genius.

I'm guessing they had little option in the end. The only tv spin off I'm interested in is"Kidd and Wint".

I would definitely add @garwboy.bsky.social to that list

I don't expect you to know who I am but you do follow me on Twitter

Yeah, I reckon a lot of us are in that place

It feels like the closest there's been is actually Cameo. I know it's not the same thing, but they did have an ad side of the business (that they got in trouble for) and you can imagine if they'd had their feet on the ground/been better managed this might have been an area they could have grown into

This is a fascinating thread. If someone was to build a tool/platform/app to try and achieve this would "big podcast" - acast etc have any issue with it?
