    Barry Cryer quoted in The Times Diary just 3 weeks ago: "Along with his son Bob, he has started a podcast called 'Now, Where Were We?' and Barry is astonished by the format. 'He was amazed,' says Bob. 'He couldnโ€™t believe anything existed that paid less than radio.'" Dude.

    To fellow broadcasters sniffy about @Rylan getting the Radio 2 gig: yes, it's a shame external fame now seems required by the radio industry. But he's not just a 'sleb'- he saw opportunities available in reality TV and ran with them, & has proven himself on ITV & C5. Good on him.

    It's been 25 years but whenever I look at my watch and it says 5:35 there's still genuinely a latent part of my brain that thinks, 'ooh, Neighbours is on'.

    I wonder if people feeling this low after just one year of lockdown restrictions will make them pause before claiming that prisoners have it easy because they have PlayStations.

    The BBC have quietly axed The Culture Show, which I worked on for a while. My thoughts: facebook.com/ollymann/postsโ€ฆ

    This is Jim. He has chronic #Tourettes, following a road accident. His #cannabis prescription is the only thing making his condition manageable - but now he must sell his house to afford it. Download my interview @TheModernMann for Jim's amazing story๐Ÿ‘‡ modernmann.co.uk/new/jimfinch

    Nigel Farageโ€™s contract with LBC is up very shortly and, following discussions with him, Nigel is stepping down from LBC with immediate effect. We thank Nigel for the enormous contribution he has made to LBC and wish him well.

    Amazing how the BBC managed to give Huw Edwards a ยฃ40,000 pay rise in the last twelve months, yet still not manage to pay me the ยฃ300 they've owed me since July 2022.
