Earlier this week Smith and Sniff was sitting at number 129 in the chart of all podcasts. All podcasts. Every single one. And our shite. Considering Gary Lineker's company alone makes about 128 different podcasts, we're quite proud of that. Thank everyone.

I see this is back on iPlayer. My then boss (now retired) David Hay appears in it, and we all contributed lots of images, footage and information.
It’s a great programme and, I’m told, one of the most popular episodes of the Timeshift strand.

Astonishing story of a DAB radio service having its IP transmission stream hijacked by its own streaming vendor to broadcast obscenities instead of the radio output for *30* mins!
Seemingly, because of a contract dispute between the vendor & another mux provider!

I supported putting a break in the Circle Line at Edgware Road. But they should've changed its name. With the break it's not a circle. It's wrong and it's still not too late to rename it. If they called it the Marigold Line they wouldn't even need to change the colour on the map.

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Virgo. He never aged for me behind the microphone as the voice of Snooker. An absolute great.

Not the first time the British public have got it wildly wrong…
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
