These films really did a number on me. Seven-year-old Nick was the one who didn’t want to answer the question about if he had a girlfriend.
Nicholas Hitchon aged in seven-year increments for more than a half-century in the acclaimed British documentary series “Up.” He has died at 65.

Krasno-stans unite! Listen to the incomparable @Sarah_Kras talk Peter Carey on the latest #ReadThis wherever you get your podcasts.
No one knows books and writers like @mmccwill. What a joy to chat with him about my new essay for @BlackIncBooks’ Writers on Writers series, On Peter Carey.

It’s the weekend. If listening to a first-rate writer share stories of his grandmother that reveal much about him and his work is your bag, this is an excellent use of half an hour. https://t.co/Q9cbopy6RV

Well #deadloch stuck the landing. Action comedies often sacrifice one for the other & don’t do justice to character or plot, but Deadloch was superb. If there’s any justice @katemccccartney & @katemclennan1 will be invited to TedX: Perth as leaders in their field. More please.

That’s one interpretation. The other possibility is that he designed the emojis to look like his kids.

One of the best things about making a new podcast is getting to do it with @sarah_mcv, @claramsankey and Zoltan Fecso: a dream team and a treat.
Recently @mmccwill & I went to Helen Garner's house. She is funny and generous and a great host and it was a dream come true. We recorded it for our new podcast Read This, which just dropped! Listen + share if you love good things.
