          I am now officially a podcaster - I help with a Cheltenham Town (The Robins Report) one that's released weekly. Our listenership is increasing on the week - and the fact that I've had people come up to me at Cheltenham games to say they agree with me feels very odd.

          There's talk of a match follow along on Friday night as we watch Cheltenham away at Charlton - sort of a way for fans to follow the game if they can't afford to pay for iFollow - I like the idea, but not sure on the feasibility.

            500songs remains a treat. I canceled Iain Lee because he has just become a bit shit.

                  Thanks guys - the watchalong is going down as a success - we had 22 unique visitors, which may not sound a lot, but is ok for a first try. It's not something we intend to do regularly though. It was great fun though, especially with Cheltenham winning.

                    If anyone's in the mood for some ghost stories in the run-up to Christmas, my girlfriend and I like to put on a series of podcasts called Uncanny, which purport to be real-life stories about supernatural encounters. I presume most of them are in fact scripted, but they invite reader feedback and googling a couple of the cases has brought up local news articles about them, so perhaps not.

                    Anyway, the creator has a new(ish: released in the last couple of months) one out that combines interviews with a couple of experts (one a believer in ghosts, one a sceptic) and one of the people who actually claims to have experienced this particular haunting with dramatisations of some of the key events. Sounds a bit cheesy but it's really well done, I think. It also looks a bit into how people can experience visitations from a scientific point of view – earlier this evening we listened to an episode where the presenter deprives himself of sleep for 36 hours while watching horror films, then sits in front of a mirror in a darkened room with only a tea light and quite soon 'sees' something absolutely terrifying in front of him. It's called The Witch Farm.

                        The Witch Farm is brilliant. William Shakespeare himself (Joseph Fiennes) plays the beleaguered Bill. The producer dude also did The Batersy Poltergeist. Same vibe. Same brrrrrr. You described it really well.

                          Wish more of my countrymen would listen to ULTRA - https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra -- very engaging.

                          Divided Dial - https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/divided-dial - a history of Salem broadcasting and more, also quite informative

                              I’m really enjoying Foreign Agent, thanks for that. Been a bit bored of podcasts recently and this hard-nosed history is just the tonic.

                                This has been out for several months, but remains very topical and interesting

                                    I’ve recently discovered ‘Fuds on Film’, three Scottish cinema fans discussing various aspects of cinema. They are very good,too, although the podcast hadn’t been updated for some time so I presume it may now be defunct. Plenty of back episodes though. Obviously we tend to warm to podcasts that reflect and develop our own views, so the ‘Fuds on Film’ episode discussing the presenters’ incredulity at the reverence given to French New Wave cinema certainly chimed with me.

                                        This is a good documentary/investigation into the Tates https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001hwxh

                                          Many thanks. The BBC can still do good work, if they commission the right people, as these two investigators are.

                                              Cool. I will check that out for sure. I might have posted this one a few years back but also worth checking out:

                                                Thanks for this recommendation. I've only listened to a couple about songs I love and periods I'm really interested in but I got a lot out of them. No way I'll get through every one mind, given their length and the sheer number of them but I will listen to one every now and then

                                                  From my inbox:

                                                  As it is UK LGBTQ+ History Month, let’s look at podcasts that look back at the history of this important community.

                                                  Black and Gay, Back in the Day looks at the experiences of Black LGBTQIA+ Britons between the 1970s and 2000s. The masterstroke of this important ten part series is that it tries to put conversations between different generations of the community front and centre, so you can see how the struggles and experiences have changed or remained the same. A recent bonus episode, released at the end of last year, features many of the contributors reuniting to look back at the impact making the series had on them.

                                                  Homo Sapiens has a two part special episode looking back at key moments of queer British history, featuring expert Eric Cervini. Memories from the Dancefloor, which explores the history of famous venues, has released new episodes on The Black Cap pub and The Nightingale Club in Birmingham. And in a meta twist, Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene has an interview with the CEO of the first LGBTQ+ museum.
