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 💁‍♂️

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

I love now this masterpiece from SVT makes an appearance nearly every election cycle 😂

UK exit polls: bing bong, here’s the prime minister

US exit polls: is it better to be loved or feared? Give your answer to the nearest cubit

[Ryan Love @RyanJL]

Extra amusing to see this on the front page of BBC News this evening. A direct email you say?

[Fernand @ok_jnr]

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

The French/US flags versh on the main stage is a very nice, and equally apt touch

But also (my last RT) I wonder what kind of hoops they had to jump through with the IOC (being very strict on the portrayal of the Rings) to allow this iteration 😅

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.

This is how Andrew Cotter and Hazel Irvine commentated the opening ceremony for the BBC

[Fernand @ok_jnr]

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

Frutiger who?

For The London 2012 Olympics I was asked to create a 10 minute World Music version of the Iconic Chariots Of Fire theme by Vangelis – here’s how I did it..#MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #BehindTheSong #Olympics #London #LondonOlympics #Chariotsoffire #AndyMurray #Vangelis

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 🙄)
– with some creative licence taken in recent years to match the theme art

There can’t be many more consequential political decisions in history than Biden’s to agree to a televised presidential debate in June.

Previously the earliest they’d happened was September

[Fernand @ok_jnr]

A masterpiece.

Let alone the breathtaking industrial bit with the Olympic rings 🥲😭
this intro bit with the build up through the tunnel gives me all the chills

[Adam Fleming @adamfleming]

Loads of 🍾 stats about podcasts today. I’ve never really bought into the rivalry thing because good news about podcasts is good news for everyone who makes podcasts because it’s a growing industry. Cheers @edballs and the excellent @polcurrency!

[Persephonica @persephonica]

Press Gazette: Political Currency was the "superstar" election podcast, seeing downloads grow by 81%.
