Listening diary: week 48, 2025: Listened to a lot of radio this week, so not many albums logged to my Last.fm account. But I loved the Gina X compilation on Dark Entries. No GDM was and remains a total banger that first crossed my path in the electroclash days, but this comp shows that Gina and collaborator Zeus B Held had plenty …

Listening diary: week 47, 2025: I generally think Depeche Mode peaked as an albums act in the 90s, and listen to their 80s material through best ofs, playlists and live records. Construction Time Again is aimed far more directly at the dancefloor than I recalled, while also being the most overtly concrète they ever sounded. An …

Listening diary: week 46, 2025: I went to see Laurie Anderson at the Roundhouse in London last week, and it was an incredible show - galvanising and deeply moving in equal measure. The Ugly One With The Jewels is my favourite Laurie Anderson record, for how it presents her practice in its most distilled form: strange, funny, …

Listening diary: week 45, 2025: The lovely new claire rousay record is a return to her trademark palette of quotidian sounds, conversational snippets and ambient washes, to a degree that might appear formulaic if it wasn’t so emotionally affecting. The magic of her music lies in the sense that you’re never quite sure …

Listening diary: week 44, 2025: I spent last Saturday at the Gob Nation all-dayer at the Tuffnell Park Dome, and loved it. Spike’s self-titled EP is one of my favourites of 2025, and her live show suggest there’s even better songs to come; my favourite discovery of the days was trash-punk duo Grazia. People rarely talk …

Listening diary: week 43, 2025: Here are some records I’ve listened to over the last week. The most interesting thing about my relationship with Bob Dylan’s music is that I’ve hitherto managed to avoid having a relationship with Bob Dylan’s music, and only recently thought about starting one. I’m …

My bi-monthly music social - The Really Strange Record Club - returns to the wonderful Dreamhouse Records on Francis Road in Leyton on Thursday 6th November, 7:30-10:30pm. Bring a record that means something to you, or come down, have a drink at the bar and we GUARANTEE you’ll hear something …

This week on I Am Prime Minister - the wonderful Cally Beaton, who has some jaw-dropping stories about mansplaining she’s encountered as well as a powerful argument for the four-day week. Stream below, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Last year, comedian Matt Richardson asked if I’d be interested in helping him reboot and relaunch his podcast. Fast forward to today, and we’re very happy to unveil series two of I Am Prime Minister - now a Wild Ambitions podcast! - in which Matt sits down with a very special guest …

We Made It Funny! Thanks to everyone who came down to last night’s BAFTA/OKRE collab event, where we managed to cook up a pretty good idea for a climate-themed sitcom in front of a live audience, as well as hearing from an audience member who once ate a jellyfish. (Photo: BAFTA / Jack Hall)

I’m on stage at BAFTA in Picadilly tonight for Make It Funny, a collaboration between BAFTA’s Green Light season and Laughing Matters, the comedy and climate programme I’m running at OKRE. I’ll be joined by an incredible line-up of comedy creatives as we attempt to workshop a …
