While not a citizen of the UK I do like your analysis of what is going on over there. I dip in and out and find your content engaging. Haven’t had time to listen to your podcast with Monk but will do soon. What can I say? We need more bears in this forest if we are to resist the slash and burn profiteering. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
That's so different from social care, where THREE letter acronyms are the thing - probably shared with the rest of local government.
No wonder we never got on.
Seriously, did you play acronym bingo? Where you go into meetings with a list of them, and shout BINGO when you cross the last one off? (or at least text it to selected participants, if you want to keep that job)
How about a presence on Mastodon - if you interesting in the democratising of social media you might want to investigate the Fediverse - I do from time to time 'boost' your posts there, but it would be great to see you actually on Mastodon
Glad to hear the project is going well and that you have concrete plans.
Good luck with the Gully Foyle project whatever it turns into. Still happy to help if I can.
And a plea, from a dinosaur. If you are doing podcasts, can you please also post a transcript? Is that possible? I am probably in a minority of 1 here, but thanks for even considering it.
Not a minority of 1 at all. I much prefer to read, for several reasons. One is non-intrusion, listening means everyone in earshot can hear as well, unless I use earphones which I never find very comfortable. The other main one is speed, I can read a transcription much faster than listening to the chat, even though sometimes that can be entertaining. So please always include the text version!
PDSA- it must be an age thing.
I immediately thought of People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals.
Not sure that this bear is sick though.
Beat me to it!

So a FOUR letter acronym?

Hi Ginny,
Thanks so much for the message,
Our podcast does come with a transcription, and you should be able to access this within the page where it lives :-)
Thank you also for the continued support, I really appreciate it.
Best,
Bear
Okay, so I really am the dinosaur and didn't find the transcript. Monday mornings not my best look.
No, I’m a dinosaur too. I don’t have the attention span for 40 mins of talking at least … not without pictures 😏

Hi Rick,
Totally understandable - when clicking into the post, at the top there should be an option to click into the transcription.
We’ll always include the transcription to give everyone the option to read instead of listen.
