I actually don’t know why there were so few shows listened to on this shift. Maybe I was busy with some call outs at work, I’m not sure.

The Gerry Anderson Podcast - 15 December 2025: Richard and Chris are joined by actor/singer Paul McGann. They wish people a merry Christmas.

BirdNote Daily - It 20 July 2023: *The Value of a Dust Bath - might sound strange, but dirt helps birds scrub themselves clean. Birds of all sizes (like the Eurasian Skylark seen here) often scrape a depression in the ground and flick dirt onto their bodies, shimmying to shake it off. / Experiments showed that birds use dust to prevent oils from building up on their feathers and to remove dandruff — much like humans using shampoo in the shower!

A Passage of Time

  Sunday August 10th 2025 -  I got in from the Saturday night shift at twenty past five, and drifted to sleep a little after six in the morning.  A minute or so after ten in the morning, I woke up for the toilet and looked at my phone. I noticed that I had missed phone calls and messages from my aunties Carol and Ann, as well as a fairly recent message from my younger brother James. They were all asking me to contact them.  I had a feeling that I knew what it was, but I didn’t want to believe it. I messaged my younger brother James, who then rang to tell me that Mum had passed away sometime around 7:30 in the morning.  I messaged someone at work about it, who let a Director know. I misunderstood a message telling me to talk to Wayne in the office on the Monday morning, so got ready for work at the usual time, and showed up at the office at 4:40pm for the five o’clock start, to find that Andy had come in to cover for me, and was told that I was also covered for t...

People point skyward, initially with hope - assuming Superman has arrived to save the day from whatever danger approaches. But their expressions quickly shift to confusion, then horror. / The figure descending from the clouds resembles Superman, but something is terribly wrong. His face is chalky white and cracked like dried mud. His costume is a backward, disheveled version of the iconic suit, the S-shield reversed and distorted. His movements are jerky and unpredictable, like a marionette with tangled strings. / This isn't the Man of Steel - it's his twisted doppelgänger, Bizarro. / "Me am Bizarro! Me here to save day by destroying everything!" he announces in...
