You Didn’t Let Me Finish!
I got to talk to the hosts of “You Didn’t Let Me Finish!” which is a great true crime podcast. Victoria and Ben are broadcast journalists who are using lockdown as an excuse to exploit Ben’s (at times grim) specialism. Free murder tips included! We talked about crimes, why the podcast has such a jolly […]

Scamalamadingdong
I was reminded of The Who song. “We Won’t Get Fooled Again” this weekend. Since March this year, I’ve been producing audiobooks. Last month I got ripped off. I accepted a project through ACX.com the Audiobook Creation Exchange. The audiobook was a series of ten, one hour meditations. When I’d finished the work and loaded […]

Stop ‘n’ Rob
Julie was the victim of a crime on Friday. She works in a shop and they play music through Spotify. They just plug an old iPhone into the sound system. The phone is so old, it won’t hold a charge and when they plug it into the mains it crackles, so Julie has been connecting […]

I hope time travel wasn’t invented twenty years ago. More people are using tiny wireless headphones these days. They’re not all listening to music, a lot of them are talking on the phone. Wireless headphones are getting smaller, you can’t always see them. I commute into central London every day and it looks like every […]

Eye To Eye Contactless
“Did you just pay for that with your finger?” That’s what the lady at the Black Sheep coffee shop said when I paid for my order today. I used my new K Ring: the world’s first contactless payment ring. I’ve been wearing it for about three weeks now and it’s great. A bloke called Steve […]

London Calling
I really enjoy working in London every day. Everywhere you look is a photo opportunity. I took this one a few days ago when I got off the train at Blackfriars just after 6am. I’ve been at Fix Radio since July last year, it’s not the first time I’ve worked in the capital. In 2012 […]
