I'm trying to read more #memoirs this year and just finished this one by Megan Blandford Remarkably honest and superbly written. Highly recommended, especially if your other half is a mum. (They may not have the same battles, but maybe share some of the fears)

Consistently great. Year after year. If you're a #reader, #writer or #booklover - anywhere near Newcastle (Australia) - set an alarm for 855am tomorrow.

I've been looking for a Twitter replacement for a while. Mastodon is too complicated for me, so I've gone to Spoutible. It's great. It's Twitter without all the bad stuff. Come on over. I'm Gabe McGrath there too. spoutible.com

This week in '94 even ABC News (Australia) fell under the Hitz FM spell. Apparently we (puts on serious voice) "Caused something of a stir" with our 140,000 listeners. (!) Many thanks to then-reporter Jane Cunningham (Jane Cunningham) for the story.

A tip for my #UK connections. My godson Jack is quite a #coffee snob. And that's great news for you. After years barista-ing in #London - he knows his stuff. Now, he's started his own Coffee bean roastery. And it helps a great cause. allgoodcoffee.co.uk

Great news today re cracking down on recreational vaping. A big contributor to this result was writer/comedian John Safran whose book #PuffPiece exposed many of the legal/linguistic dirty tricks used by the industry. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2023-05-0…

AI is an imminent threat to the livelihood of writers. Requesting compensation is not enough. AI should be banned in the creative industries. My new article in AdNews today explains why we need to act now: adnews.com.au/opinion/ai-is-…

Thanks very much for sharing this Glenn. A historic night tonight, and great memories of our time working together 30 years ago.

Here's a real piece of Australian radio history. Just me and 36 friends in a small studio. Plus a 'rather merry' Molly Meldrum. 30 years ago! This week. gabemcgrath.com/2024/03/17/unh…
