I’ve been working my way through the BBC series The Cows Are Mad. It’s a ten-part mini-series that tries to shed some light on the BSE/vCJD stuff from the 80s and 90s.

You’z?

    I’ve also listened through Jon Ronson’s 2 season series Things Fell Apart, which is on various culture wars over the years. That’s well worth a listen to, it covers the roots of abortion becoming an issue as well as many others.

    Pretty much exclusively F**kface.

    My partner listens to a variety and I do enjoy the bits I hear of This Paranormal Life though.

    It’s safe to say that I’m in it for laughs and not much else.

    Lolita podcast was absolutely enthralling. The book is a horror story told from the PoV of the monster, but somehow socetiy has turned that in to a “forbidden love” story in absolutely mind boggling ways.
