"Things We Said Today" is a song by the English #rock band #theBeatles, written by #PaulMcCartney and credited to #LennonMcCartney. It was released in July 1964 as the #Bside to the single "#AHardDaysNight" and on their album of the same name, except in North America, where it appeared on the album #SomethingNew. The band recorded the song twice for #BBCRadio and regularly performed an abbreviated version during their #1964NorthAmericanTour.

Borderline distraught about the apparent news that #BBC #radio will stop being accessible outside the #UK.

Here in #Australia, I've been a religious listener of Elizabeth Alker's Unclassified, Sara Mohr-Pietsch & Hannah Peel's Night Tracks and Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone for a good few years now. I've discovered a vast amount of amazing new #music from these shows and the thought that they're going to go away is really quite depressing.

I'd be more than happy to pay an "overseas license fee" to access this stuff, but I know that'll never happen. Yes, I could pay for a VPN, but why should I have to? The seemingly inevitable march of #enshittification continues ever onward. #BBCRadio

I'm trying to remember the name of a #BBC radio #comedy/#drama set on and around a British train station at the turn of the 20th century. I think there were three or four series, but the cast did change a fair bit between them while the characters stayed the same.

A signalman played a big role, as did the station's (probably women's only) tearoom, and the officious station manager who may've been called Marsh, or something like that.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hearing the 4 day workweek debate on #bbcRadio is frustrating. The focus on productivity increases to compensate ignores the gains of the last 100 years. 4 day workweeks could pair nicely with #degrowth as well. Life can suck when we're led not by our imagined potential, but by fictional wealth accumulation schemes.

It seems an #introduction may be in order so here goes.
I’m retired. I used to read the news & do the speaky bits in between programmes on #BBCRadio 4. I try to spend a fair bit of the winter up an #Austrian mountain & love #Greece.
I can now have opinions of a #political persuasion so there may be the occasional outburst - not hard given the current state of *waves arms around* everything.
I like #Nature #gardens & #NordicNoir and probably because I'm a hopeless cook, pics of lovely dinners.
