Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Agree about nastiness. And stage plays.

I've listened to the first ep of the R4 Derek Jacobi thing. I really like him as narrator: he wrings a lot out of the sentences. :-)

I find that I can only listen to podcasts (or audiobooks) while driving or walking otherwise I fall asleep or get distance by more visual media

Ironing or cooking are also good.

I can recommend rail replacement buses as an ideal place - helps the tedious hours go by...
