I am told that members of the Cabinet have listened to the Wargame podcast, which opens with several vicious attacks on unarmed personnel near their bases… And yet…. 🤷♀️
A few photos from the day of the recording back in April. 46 people in the cast and crew, 27 mics, over 235,000 words on tape, and only one chance to get it right.
Given the understandable focus this weekend on the UK’s lack of air defences, I’m reposting a link to The Wargame podcast

Just catching up with this podcast, war gaming a Russian attack on the UK. The most gripping and chilling thing I've heard for a long time. Excellent input from many, including @LucyGoBag
Essential listening.

Thank you to @SamuelAgini for choosing The Wargame – a podcast – as his ‘favourite non-FT article of the year’ on the grounds that he can’t read 😂

I started reading the Economist when I was 19, on my lunch breaks at the ethernet cable factory in Glenrothes. I liked that it didn’t talk down to its readers too much. Anyway, it’s exciting that The Wargame is in their picks of the year. I hope someone in Glenrothes enjoys it.
Jobs like this don’t come up very often. The BBC is hiring a senior producer to work on the legendary Profile – in my opinion one of the best programmes on Radio 4 – and AntiSocial. Deadline 17th November:

One of the reasons I really wanted to do this story on the pod —
Polling shows a majority of Americans (80+%) seem to adore Canada.
Only about 1/3 of Canadians have a favorable view of the United States.
So what’s the long/term consequences of this trade tension?
