Ahoy! Shiver me timbers, it’s the exciting conclusion to Madrigal in Margate: Oatal Recall! Expect sea life, violence and a whole lot of corporate sponsorship! Listen to it right now, ya hear, on the Crowley Time podcast feed or at crowleytime.com! Also features more glorious synth from Tommy Music.
Loved listening to this - it’s wonderful. And it’s even wonderfuller due to the outstanding cameo from Wingnut.
In a new episode of the #ResearchCultureUncovered podcast @nickshepp.bsky.social chats to Dr Kinga Patterson about #OpenResearch & its parallels to learning a language. Discover open research practices, learn about #collaboration & explore opportunities for #ECRs.

Listen to Crowley Time with him @atomcrowley.bsky.social and thank me later
These are SO GOOD! I want one. Can I pretend I don’t already know that your podcast is brilliantly funny and have one thrust at me?!
Happy New Year, Tom 🥳 Hope everyone at Crowley Towers had a lovely evening, and that Sir Chuntley didn’t drink *all* the Prosecco.

Another glorious episode 👏👏👏 Fingers crossed for Honda…

Publicity shot for the show Black Doves in which perspective makes the above look possible.
Is giant Keira Knightley really going to shoot a bearded four-year-old in the head? Or will tiny homunculus Ben Whishaw thwart her aim by firing a miniscule bullet into her knee?
