So today Bob Harris announced he was stepping back from the mic. He's a huge loss to music radio because he's worked with fantastic producers to share his love of music - especially country - without making his shows sound like a lecture. I hope he cracks the mic again soon!

The orphaned baby goat rejected by its own herd after a wolf killed its mother now sneaks in every night to sleep safely among the shepherd dogs. ❤️❤️

That’s an excellent idea! We could sell them!

@johnco If Dry Spell on @CountryLineRad is a saucy seaside postcard I am now trying to come up with baseball cap slogan 😁

@johnco Of course I had to search for Chevrolet Silverado after hearing the song on @CountryLineRad .If the Euromillions numbers come up 😁

Carrying a kirpan like this also solves the issue of religious belief.
We don’t need a long and sharp blade to fulfil our need to carry a ceremonial dagger.

One of my fave producers from back in the day at Radio Scotland. Bob “gets it” and is good fun on air - well worth a listen.

Produced and presented by Bob Wood in Renfrewshire. It is a themed selection of music, covering all genres imaginable with artists and tracks that are sometimes familiar, sometimes obscure, along with interesting information about each artist and track.

The sun shone this morning as Robbie Shepherd's brother and sister, Harry and Helen, watched the foundation stones being laid for a memorial cairn to Robbie Shepherd, the "Loon fae Dunecht". It was a pleasure to know him and these plans sound exciting

@DAaronovitch I thought that. But sadly he’s a politician so he’s judged much more aggressively. The whole thing is a disaster for so many people.

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater

@JamesMelville @HDewarSport Good luck, both.

In Scary Movie 3, released in 2003, the Sheriff's hat keeps growing in every shot. 🤣🤣

My latest @johnco . Can't count the hours I have put into this while listening to you and @CountryLineRad 😉

[Edward Hopper House @hopperhouse]

Edward Hopper died on this day in 1967 at his Washington Square studio. Josephine later wrote that it happened quietly, in a single moment, with no pain and no sound. His final painting, Two Comedians (1965 @thebrucemuseum), was Hopper and Jo side by side, taking a final bow.

I've been thinking this for some time - now an actual proper journalist is saying it! A must-read this morning.

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

Are we as journalists, with our excitable coverage of politics, contributing to democratic instability and a crisis of governance? Yes, I would say….
