''Filthy rich' water and sewage bosses branded a 'farce' after handing almost £80bn to investors.'

While we're on the subject of having 'new' names as podcast guests, I'm really proud of having spotted Jo, Lucy, David, Hilary et al and getting brilliant shows with them, so do listen! There's a new one out soon by the way. But he's a *bit* famous...

If there was one thing the eighties did like no other decade, it was ridiculous synth noises that actually sounded 'sophisticated' at the time but... don't now. Nobody ever celebrates them, though, which is why I'm doing just that here...

Then on to Aunty Social Catherine Mugonyi which I helped out in 2021 along with Counterculture Partnership LLP. This #Blackpool building was a shell then! Now it's a makers' shop, creative workshop space, meeting place, cinema, and much more ... 👏🏼 👩‍🎨
