Issue 242

After a quiet couple of years during COVID, I am now working harder than ever before.

I have three jobs: hosting a breakfast show on Jack FM, working as a counselor, and doing shows and podcasts via Patreon. The latter is done behind a paywall for people who are prepared to stump up a few quid every month. Since you asked, it's at patreon.com/iainandkatherine

What makes the Patreon show so cool is I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. Literally. I can talk silly or serious, I get to interview some really fun people and I can watch classic TV programs. Recently I have been watching a lot of old game shows: 3,2,1, The Price Is Right and Play Your Cards Right Watching Brucey bring on the Dolly Dealers (my God, a lot of these shows are very problematic) rang a very faint and distant bell in the back of my mind. Wasn't there a BBC Micro version of Play Your Cards Right?

It's-a me, Pauline!

My daughter turned 16 this year, which means I've officially entered the stage of parenthood where anything I say is answered with eye-rolling. It also means I've been thinking a lot about when she was small - specifically the time she inadvertently sent me on one of the strangest, most meaningful missions of my life.
