August 12 - The Umbrella Academy, Stumptown, Wynonna Earp
Quick checklist for the the three shows I discuss today: Dysfunctional main characters? Based on independent comics? Queer lady representation? Check, check and you better believe check!
August 11 - Tig, One Mississippi, Happy To Be Here
I just talk about one of my favourite stand-ups for 15 minutes. She’s pretty great, so it’s pretty easy.
August 7 - Six Feet Under, True Blood, Sex and the City
“It’s not TV, it’s HBO.” So let’s talk about the ‘not TV’ that I loved, the ‘not TV’ I never got a round to and the ‘not TV’ I didn’t love.
August 3 - Review with Forrest MacNeil, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Playing House
Tonight I talk about two sit-coms that don’t get talked about enough and one podcast that gets talked about a LOT!
July 28 - The Old Guard, Good Girls, Julien Baker (Again)
More apologies for technical difficulties, then some talk about the films, TV and music I’m using to get through this global traumatic event! Standard stuff for these audio logs!
July 23 - The 100, Battlestar Galactica, Game Night
Once again I tried to record an audio log about one thing and messed up the recording so then talk about a completely other thing. Luckily, I like a lot of things…
July 16 - Talking, Apologising, Listening
What We Talk About When We Talk About Talking. CW: I have a very real panic attack at the end of this audio log and have left it in, unedited. I’m feeling much better now, so please do not worry about me, but if you are someone who has strong reactions to panic, it starts at 41:47 and continues until the end.
July 15 - Middleditch & Schwartz, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Fast and Loose
For a full half hour, all I talk about is improv on TV. passionately, and undoubtedly incorrectly. For instance I somehow didn't mention the incredible Josie Lawrence. Shame on me.
Watch this on Friday: https://readingfringefestival.co.uk/whats-on/hell-yeah/
July 10 - Angel (Yes, Actually)
To celebrate recording fifty (five zero) if these, I actually do talk about the 1999-2004 television series Angel. I said I’d get round to it…
July 9 - Dark, Dan Deacon, Diablo III
In this alliterative episode I try and recommend a TV show without telling you what it’s about, recommend a musician while telling you you might not like him and recommend a video game which I’m not even sure I should be playing.
June 25 - Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen
I just spend the full half hour excitedly gushing about Netflix’s Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen, a documentary by Sam Feder looking at representations of trans people in film and television throughout history. That’s the whole episode.
June 18 - Alias, Watchmen, Y: The Last Man
I recommend some TV shows and comics that are linked by one of the biggest TV shows of all time… That I have not watched.
June 17 - Dungeons n' Naggins, Twitch, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Again)
It’s an emotional time for all of us. I talk about some weirdly disparate things that have been making me emotional and also come very close to singing!
June 16 - James Bond, Killing Eve, The Americans
I talk a bit about spy movies and TV shows and my history with them, but it’s just an excuse to ramble on excitedly about the best TV show of the past ten years!
June 15 - I May Destroy You, Jelle's Marble Runs, Pa'lante
I talk about some of the things that have been getting me through the past few weeks including an incredibly well-written and nuanced TV drama, a beautifully moving revolutionary song and… Marbles.
June 11 - Dawson's Creek, Mazes, GoldenEye
In my least coherent audio log yet, I sleepily rewrite a TV show, get lost in some old towns and get stuck in a video game. It’s a trip.

June 10 - BoJack Horseman (Again), Tuca & Bertie, Undone
I talk about and recommend three of the best animated shows of the past ten years. Two of which have anthropomorphic animals, but all of which get dark!
https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
June 3 - Birthday, Banshee, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
I talk about being the same age as Jesus and my complicated relationship with cop shows.
A podcast featuring conversations on police abolition here: https://radicalimagination.us/episodes/police-abolition
May 29 - Buffy (Again), Grief (Again), M&Ms (Again Again)
I talk in detail about one the saddest episodes of television ever, then I talk about my real experiences of grief, then… I mean, then I talk about chocolate adverts again… Because of course.
May 25 - Columbo, C. Auguste Dupin, Jonathan Creek
I love detective fiction. I especially love Columbo. I talk about that today. What more do you want from me? This is still not a podcast.
