Shearer's Saturday on today's Rest is football podcast.

Flight to Newcastle cancelled - no others that evening.
One train left with tickets available - Dashes from Heathrow to Kings Cross to get on it.
Managed to get a seat before it fills up with Sunderland fans heading back from Portsmouth.
Four Hours of derogatory songs about him and Newcastle as he sits in his chair with a hat on and his head down.

I did think it was a funny story, but Sunderland fans on the same train seem to think he's exaggerated it a bit.

If old pop music is your bag, my mate does the Giddy Carousel of Pop podcast, which is devoted to Smash Hits. They've had some good guests on over the years, Miki from Lush, Helen O'Hara from Dexy's etc. https://giddypoppod.home.blog/

I've been listening to a lot of episodes of the Real Dictators podcast recently. Paul McGann narrates it really well (he also does an excellent D-Day podcast). Some of the dictators I knew well, some I knew nothing about. The Hitler episodes in particular are really interesting.

Karl Marx must be close to being responsible for more deaths than any other human in history.

If that's how you judge responsibility then Jesus makes Marx look like an amateur.

True, but then Marx is a real person.

I'm involved today in recording a podcast called Toy Business Unboxed. I get to talk about what it's like being an Indie board game publisher and our journey so far. Not one of great interest to many people I imagine!
