Series 2 of Slower Travel is here! First up is the @harrogatebus #36 from Leeds to Ripon, in which I get all giddy about a car park, we meet the world's laziest MP, and a couple of posh old ladies broadcast their holiday plans. https://t.co/a0IfdN6NlP

Also, £30pm for a one camera broadcast w/ comms from the clubs' own radio feeds. We absolutely won't be taking part on @26nillive at Hyde United. TV and radio commentaries are two different beasts, too. It's an amateurish product with a premium price tag.
As you may have seen, the NPL have received a huge amount of backlash re their decision to partner up with a streaming service A statement justifying their decision was released yesterday after criticism from football fans across the country Let's take a look at it... 🧵 1/10

Easily the best interview I've ever read about pesto. New Mclusky stuff sounding bob-on, too.
hello there wednesday. here is an interview I did with the quietus and a new song/video which they tell me is 'embedded' in the piece. I like this song a lot - if you don't I can't help you x

Huge thanks to Vicky and Clare for all their hard work on this. A proper eye-opener helping to make it, a y'know what, it turned out brill - 'Detectorists on a bus', apparently!
Here's our celebration of the new Manchester night bus, and the romanticism of bus travel. 28 mins of joy, thanks to @VickyFarncombe and @TalkingTurkeyWB

Toot toot! New book! In something of a departure (geddit?), it's a travel book. FINAL DESTINATION: Riding Britain's Trains to the End of the Line I stay on board until journey's end, before poking around the towns that lie beyond the buffers. Out May 8. Preorders are open!

Outstanding stuff from the @ManchesterMill today. Liverpool definitely has better pubs, btw.

I'm on the TP bus in Matlock, and there's a guy behind me who I swear sounds like a gangster in a TV interview who's had his voice altered to protect his identity.
