Thanks Radio 4 for inviting me on for The Bottom Line this week to talk the business of podcasting with @EvanHD (even if I prefer to be behind a mic rather than in front!)
Listen on the radio, or wherever you get your podcasts, naturally šāāļø

remember to be kind to yourself today. keep looking at your phone, keep scrolling. keep neglecting your basic needs, descend further into the darkness. do not engage with the people in your life telling you to log off. they don't understand you like we do, they never will

Also, some fantastic iterations of the dynamic LA28 branding with the ever changing A

It would be fascinating to see historical data for this sort of thing.
I strongly suspect this phenomenon of being in a tiny unrepresentative minority but believing most people agree with you (and therefore feeling empowered to act) is a social media era phenomenon.

In true glossy NBC style - notable for taking their Olympics' broadcast branding away from the established and to the next level, every Olympiad - stunning graphical 'travels' to each venue

with the Olympics coming up this week I am reminded that the London 2012 Opening Ceremony is my Roman Empire and every time I watch it I cry and nothing will ever top this xitter.cf/PantherAS90/status/181ā¦

Our first look at this Olympics' lower third design
Strict design standards and 000s of assets = layout and type largely unchanged (Frutiger in 2024? Whoda thought. Better than Arial Italic š)
ā with some creative licence taken in recent years to match the theme art
#Paris2024 voulait rĆ©volutionner les Jeux. C'est bien partiā¦ sauf peut-ĆŖtre pour l'habillage des compĆ©titions.
Une confƩrence de presse du CIO laisse entrevoir l'habillage traditionnel d'OBS, adaptƩ comme habituellement aux couleurs de Paris 2024.

There canāt be many more consequential political decisions in history than Bidenās to agree to a televised presidential debate in June.
Previously the earliest theyād happened was September
