If you love Whitney Houston’s songs you’ll enjoy @TheBodyguardUK which is on this week at the Alhambra @BradfordTheatre & touring till late August. We went to see it last night and I reviewed it for @MatineeRadioUK matineemusicals.com/review-t…

Tonight’s football fixture list is like FM v app 😜

Brill night at the @audioacademyuk #UKARIAS talking to lots of radio people and hearing from the winners after they picked up their awards. You can hear all my chats now on the @RadioToday Programme audioboom.com/posts/8906702-…

Southampton also admitted to spying on Oxford last December and Ipswich in April… they didn’t win either of these games.

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/19/efl…

We done another podcast thing

Scott Mills has left the BBC and is no longer contracted following allegations about his personal conduct. radiotoday.co.uk/2026/03/sco…

This guy Alex Belfield is a stone-cold criminal who will be in and out of jail for the rest of his life. He simply has no empathy with anyone. His abuse/stalking of the four women at BBC Leeds was a case in point. It went on for ten years. Under a succession of aliases he sent one of them 14,000 emails — one day telling her she's ugly, the next asking to help her buy lingerie. He only knows abuse and lies, and he will never comply with bail restrictions or, for that matter, any of his eleven restraining orders (including mine). It's sad, but malignant narcissists torch everyone around them — and then, when they're alone in a cell, they immolate themselves. #NottinghamStalker

Great to bump into Westminster radio legend @PaulRowleyRadio in London tonight!

Evening from table 75 at Wetherspoons in #Ilkley. This probably doesn't work any more, but if you fancy sending us a Friday night treat, we'll be here for a bit...

Corking day hosting the Skipton Santa Fun Run Christmas Lights switch on for @yourskipton with @stuartclarkson @NickJBabb @PatrickJIDunlop. The best one I can remember, and a fun way to spend a Sunday! Well done to @SkiptonCouncil as always. #Skipton always does events so well.

THIS is how Scotland qualify for a World Cup. Take a bow, Kenny McLean. #BBCFootball

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Tim Davie was one of the best D-Gs the BBC has had, and Deborah Turness was a brilliant head of news. Only the BBC’s enemies could possibly be glad they’ve resigned. We’ve now got a real fight on our hands to defend public service broadcasting, because that’s under threat too.

Yes the BBC made a mistake. Yes someone should pay for it - probably. But think of the high standards it has to meet and how it’s judged compared with the commercial sector. Watch The Hack and ask yourself - did all those involved get the punishment they deserved?

Great point well made from @SimonCalder just now on @bbc5live re the London-centric rail travel warning ‘Do not travel north of Preston’ (there be dragons!)… “some people want to travel south of Carlisle,” notes Simon! 💯
