Just now, 27: 26, Jumoke Fashola interviewing Prof. Laurence Young, virologist at University of Warwick , discussing Covid and Long Covid. It affects women more than men and gets everywhere In the body. I need to go back and listen to the whole interview.
 
Check out the programme series The Food Chain. It examines the business, science and cultural significance of food. It’s a World Service Production. I’ve listened to two so far and the last one was about three woman who chose to live on war rations for different reasons. One managed it for a whole year. one did it for a month and one for a week. Tx Dec 23, 2021. These programmes date back to 2014. I also listened to the most recent programme which was called How not to feed a dog. 👍

OMG Did I really just hear this?

15 minutes into her show tonight on BBC Radio London Jo Good plays Gangster's Paradise and interrupts the song to say "I think we've just gone plummeting back in to The Scene, is this really on my play list?"

I listened to The Food Chain last night, regarding how we feed our dogs/what dogs like.
It was an interesting listen.

Wanted to mention Jo Good, BBC London presenter, weekday afternoons 130 to 5 pm. Far too long a programme and heavily padded with music. She started her own YouTube channel a while ago. It’s recently showing adverts. And, she did a shopping trip to Sainsbury’s with her elderly mother to supposedly purchase a vegan range of makeup. She’s not vegan, or even vegetarian. She kept going on about how cheap everything was. However, on her Instagram account, Middleaged Minx, she showed the same thing and put Ad at the end. Very duplicitous.

She also did a podcast for her series Dogs and the City featuring Jonathan Saccone Joly and a few of his badly cared for dogs. She even said how great his family was in one of her YouTube postings and that she looked upon them as her surrogate family.
Could it to be to do with the fact that she’s now signed to Gleam too?

It’s extremely disturbing that this BBC employee is bigging up this man and not declaring adverts in YouTube.

She’s not relatable - she buys and flaunts £700 pound shoes in her channel yet she’s got many older women following her.

She also drives around in her Mini with her dog loose in the backseat and filming herself while driving, she’d have very little content without her dog, elderly mother and all the freebies inc theatre tickets from her job.

It’s coming up to two years since I posted this about Jo Good. She’s got worse.

This was supposed to be 17’26 so 26 minutes past 5 pm. It started earlier than that at about 5’15 - 15 minutes past 5 pm so 3’15 in the Sounds App.

Shay of Sunny and Shay is sitting in for Salma on Beeb London. Gah she’s so annoying.

She is always unlistenable when she covers for Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo on the 5 Live film programme. She loves every single film. She seems to possess no critical skills. She reads out listener's emails and messages in a monotone. And she always says 'we had two correspondence about this', never 'two pieces of correspondence'. A little thing but annoying.
I think she comes across as a nice person - just a hopeless broadcaster.

She told the listener of her crush on Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club....trench coat and huuuge boots with laces undone *drool*, Ferris Bueller, Dirty Dancing, The Lost Boys....she was going to watch all these after the show 😁
More music would've been preferrable Edith

Thing is, they’re all just cliches from the 80s, that people who weren’t around at the time come out with i.e. they watched the films later so think they remember the 80s 🤦‍♀️

Will listen later.

Nikki Bedi yesterday on Radio 4 Saturday Live, insisting that durian - the very smelly fruit - was called jackfruit over here. She had to apologise later on and say she was wrong. I find her exceedingly more annoying every time I hear her.

I got around to listening to How Not to Feed a Dog, it was so interesting. Particularly the comment about how some owners are control freaks and use food in such a way. It made me think of the dogs we had when I was growing up, they had normal pet food in tins but they also ate bits from the butcher and left over meat and veg from our family meals, not that I think anyone thought about it too much, they were happy fit and healthy mongrels who lived to good ages.

Also, in those days, pre the greedy vet period and vets being owned by large corporations (obviously I don’t know when it was exactly ) dogs weren’t usually vaccinated every year with ‘booster’ shots.
