W/C 13th April 2026Nothing fancy in the notes this week, just an explanation as to the track I have chosen for the title.It's a Paddy McAloon song, recorded by Jimmy Nail as part of the Crocodile Shoes project, which was a TV show about a songwriter in the North East. Had I not mentioned it as part of a discussion about Prefab Sprout it may never have come up in conversation, but that would also have meant that I wouldn't be booked out for what promises to be a special evening on the 8th

W/C 6th April 2026As we were driving to Manchester Airport last week we realised we had left the newly-purchased suncream at home. Even though we had only been travelling a few minutes we decided not to turn back, but risk picking some up at the departure lounge, irrespective of the fact it would probably be at an eye-watering supplement.As it turned out it was pretty much the same as buying from Boots on the high street, and another thing I noted was that the coffee and sandwich that I got from

W/C 30th March 2026I am hoping you will forgive me if the edit is a little off compared with normal.The good news is that I have managed to assemble and export this week’s TFM on the iPad for the second week on the spin, and the first where I didn’t have a fallback option.The not-so-good news is that I can’t work out how to fine-tune the episode length (I like the episodes to end in a double digit format) and the volume fades are not as precise.I am sure I will get better, but I must admit I am

W/C 23rd March 2026I appreciate I have said this before, but one of the challenges of TFM is that some weeks what goes through my head just isn't that interesting.Take this week, twenty odd minutes of stuff but honestly, nothing that is going to give you any deeper insight or philosophical clarity. You could summarise it as something I have taken a shine to, and something I haven't, something I haven't heard for ages and enjoyed, and something I haven't but didn't, and something that may (or may

W/C 16th March 2026On the back of using a Cliff track for a recent TFM I went back and listened to 'those' albums all over again, which is why it was easy to join the dots and get to this track whilst trying to come up with something for this week, specifically the on-location recording bit.Of course that then took to me back to that very 'of it's time' video, that has the man himself roller-skating around listening to a Sony Walkman. The things that I get dragged back to as part of the TFM process

W/C 9th March 2025I am now in two minds.Having mentioned this tune toward the end of this week's TFM I am not sure it is in fact the right choice because equally I could be the problem in the integrity of this figurative dam. But you have got to pick a side and I do like this track so I am sticking with it (don't worry it will all make sense as you listen, or at least it should...).I don't know what else to write about what I have to say as it kind of stands alone this week, so I will take up no

W/C 2nd March 2026As you are about to hear I went somewhere a bit special this week, and it took me right back to early 1983, as I approached my twelfth birthday.At that stage I was desperately waiting for the day to arrive, because I was hoping to get a ZX Spectrum (16KB) and join the cyber-generation. In preparation, and as a way of increasing my sense of anticipation and excitement, I had been reading, and re-reading the couple of computer magazines that I owned, devouring anything I could and

W/C 23rd February 2026It's been a long time since I have watched Pulp Fiction, but it came up in conversation when I was asked by my eldest if I could suggest something for him to watch.At the beginning of lockdown I began the process of ripping my DVD collection and having everything available as easy playback and sharing, and having got about 80% of the way through it before getting bored, it meant I had a lot to peruse and ultimately recommend.Along with the cool-as-you-like Tarantino classic I

W/C 16th February 2026I am bringing you a bit of a story this time, so here isn't much I can really say about it in advance...I need to just let it all unfold, so to speak.What I can say is that the track that gives the episode its title is by Dave Lee Roth, and is from an album called A Little Ain't Enough released in 1991. It is memorable for me because I went to see DLR on that tour, and it remains the only live experience I have of him or any link to Van Halen.It is also memorable because I

W/C 9th February 2026In between recording and note-writing Wikipedia has provided one of the answers;St Andrew's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in an isolated position, in fields about 2 kilometres to the north of the village of Woodwalton.The isolated position of the church is thought to be due to its central location between Woodwalton Castle, a motte and bailey castle to the north, Sawtry Abbey to the west and the village settlement to the south.It is about 200 metres to the east

Time disappears for me on a Saturday morning.I like to be out for a run around the seven thirty mark, which means that the alarm is usually set for between six and six thirty, so I can start the process of recording the weeks TFM. In theory that should be enough time to record a c.20 minute podcast, make a brew, write the notes and get myself ready.It's currently 07:38 and I have got this far. I have managed to lose fifteen minutes listening to Tenacious D and a further five minutes just faffing. I

W/C 26th January 2026OK so this is a very particular phenomena to mention, but there is something about that first blast of UK air when you get off a plane that is really quite reinvigorating.It is probably down to nothing more than the welcome release from the stale air of the aircraft, but when I was met by what was comparatively fresh and chilly air as I stepped into the air bridge, it didn't half hit the spot. And I got a second chance to enjoy it as the lift doors opened onto the multi-storey

Because of the nature of the development the entrance is a fairly small and basic, with just a Reception Desk, a sort

W/C 5th January 2026Two things to quickly mention before you listen to this week's TFM.Firstly I managed to get myself confused by songs, so instead of The Who track that I mentioned you are getting the Robbie & Kylie track that was actually playing in my head. I think the confusion comes from the final line of the chorus which does actually say 'the kids are alright', even though the song title is more to the point.It's not that I have a problem with The Who, but that track isn't one that would

Now normally I would be kicking myself at the omission, but actually I am taking the positives from the positives that I missed, and choosing

I would also throw into the more pot, jigsaw-time, food-prep and possibly running.The consistent category is food and drink, no question.

W/C 15th December 2025Technically speaking the actual song title for this is Thea Gilmore's Midwinter Toast, but I have taken a little artistic license for the episode naming just because it's my podcast, and I can.I make no apology for banging on about this incredible songwriter, or indeed for reminding you that her winter album Strange Communion is the only thing you should be listening to for the next week or so. It remains an incredible collection of songs, and the fact that it can be revisited

W/C 8th December 2025I was somewhat taken aback this evening, just at the point when I was about to enjoy one of the traditional kick-offs to the festive season.Our local Lidl has recently had a facelift, and as part of that process the magazine stand has been placed in the entrance. As such, and as we were walking out, I happened to notice a cardboard display freshly stacked with copies of the Christmas TV & Radio Times.

W/C 1st December 2025The eldest has asked for a first pair of running trainers for Christmas, and after taking him to Up & Running for some cheeky gait analysis, we settled on a pair of Hoka Clifton 10s in a light green finish (I think the decision has been based on the aesthetics of the shoe in question, but they do also provide the required support).Unfortunately it's a range that Up & Running don't carry so we ended up getting them for Run North West, and when they arrived I noticed a
