Simon Garfield – The Nation’s Favourite: The True Adventures of Radio 1 (1998). Fascinating account of Matthew Bannister reinventing Radio 1. It explores big-ego dramas (DLT, Simon Bates and Chris Evans) and the station’s response to Diana’s death. Only John Peel emerges with dignity. #SimonGarfield

Just booked for @cam_wordfest next Sunday - inc. @tom_watson @martin_hickman @SimonGarfield and @markgfh - can't wait!

Off to #camwordfest for triple-bill of: @tom_watson @martin_hickman on Murdoch; @simongarfield on maps; and @markgfh on the Geek Manifesto.

Charming talk by @simongarfield - said that Google never expected the responsibility of effectively running the world's maps. #wordfest

Disappointing that @simongarfield used a New York example to show off how poor Apple Maps is: Cambridge is equally absurd! #wordfest

Hmm, is it really geeky to be excited about getting a book about typefaces by @simongarfield for Christmas? It is? Good.

That's Boxing Day sorted. My family know me well. Thanks @prodnose @bengoldacre @simongarfield

@simongarfield Hey, I loved your talk last night!
