I took up @helenlewis.bsky.social ‘s advice and read ‘Mort.’ It was considerably joyous. #StrongMessageHere
Love to see mention of Terry Pratchett. The TV series based on the book Going Postal was brilliant.

Corking new #StrongMessageHere now up on #BBCSounds, Spotify, Apple etc. ‘You Don't Have to Worry’ (with Marina Hyde). Can we take solace in the upbeat language of Trump's cabinet, or should we, in fact, worry after all? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
