The BBC is set to scrap Radio 4 Extra. 📻 Losing this treasure trove of classic comedy, archive drama, and timeless storytelling would be a massive blow for millions of us.

If RADIO 4 extra goes, that will be the end of the world as we know it, a comfort blanket to so many as well as a lesson in the history of British culture through drama, comedy and light entertainment🤷🏼♂️
@BBCRadio4Extra is my go to. Always find some vintage nugget from The Clitheroe Kid to a lost Hancock to Paul Temple. Yes, I could search thru the clunky archive, but half the joy is the surprise of the find.

In my opinion, we're going to lose something incredibly valuable to the cultural fabric & history of this country. If Radio 4 Extra with its carefully curated archive isn't the epitome of public service broadcasting, well, I don't know what is. Only the BBC can do it. A sad day.

Available now: Nicholas Boulton reads ‘My Universities’, the final instalment in the autobiographical trilogy by five-time Nobel Prize-nominee Maxim Gorky. Despite his failed attempts to enter the university at Kazan, Gorky forges an education of his own as he encounters an unusual array of characters. It is a fascinating depiction of a young man trying to find his own way against the backdrop of a country in decay and close to revolution. Listen now: naxos.bio.to/MyUniversitiesA…

Available now: Nicholas Boulton narrates Christopher Isherwood’s second novel, ‘The Memorial’. Considered the ‘hidden gem’ of Isherwood’s oeuvre, ‘The Memorial’ tells the story of a family’s disintegration, using non-linear storytelling to capture the fragmented, shell-shocked psyche of post-WW1 Britain and the haunting nature of memory.

Available now: ‘Mr Norris Changes Trains’, Christopher Isherwood’s companion to ‘Goodbye to Berlin’, is read by Nicholas Boulton. ‘A sort of glorified shocker,’ as Isherwood described it, ‘Mr Norris Changes Trains’ (1935) brings to life the city of Berlin, teetering on the edge of catastrophe. Nicholas Boulton is in his element with its razor-sharp prose and dark humour. Listen now: naxos.bio.to/MrNorrisChanges…

So if you don't like it, you know...
It's a fantastic episode with new friends and old enemies.
And the world meets:

Alex Arco as Meurig
Sam Bell as Govan
George Osborn as Lot
Ralph Berkin as Loth
Andres Grundberg as Urien
Nicholas Boulton as Morcant

Oh, and Travis Mills directed a wonderful scene between Charis and Aurelius that I criticized him for on set. I was wrong, though. He made a great choice, it pains me to say.
Meet Morcant, King of the Belgae.
He doesn't appreciate people interrupting his supper.

I played 6 hours of Dragon Age: Veilguard earlier this month.
I'll fully admit I went into the preview a bit nervous about what I would find. After I finished, I sat with my thoughts and ruminated for a long time. I've played every BioWare game since Neverwinter Nights, and as someone who has been with the DA series since Origins and based on my time with the game, I couldn't shake that feeling in the back of my head - "this feels like BioWare is back".
Strap yourselves in. I've broken down my thoughts into separate sections to hopefully make things simpler and more easily digestible. Let's dig in.
