Always great to talk Slow Horses with Frank!
Recapping episode 5 of Slow Horses season 6 may be the most fun I have had with @spywrite on the @BarbicanStation podcast. Why? I got to rip into one of the worst action sequences ever to run on a prestige TV show. (Rest of the ep was all right.)

Thirty-five years ago this week, the Braves began a remarkable a second-half surge that took them to Game 7 of the World Series. And, in a way, the surge never stopped.
Happy birthday to the modern Atlanta Braves, born this week in 1991. A look back: mlb.com/news/braves-1991-tur…

Ted Turner spent 20 years making sure a kid in Montana could watch the Braves. MLB spent 20 years making sure a kid in Atlanta couldn’t

SIR IAN MCKELLEN. He is doing so many things here at once: giving an acting lesson, giving a history lesson, emphasizing the power of arts, AND eloquently speaking against ICE & silencing anti-immigrant bigotry.
Wow…..
Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

8 years ago, a billionaire laid us off + shuttered our newsroom.
We had no funding + no idea what nonprofit news was. But we had a dream to build @blockclubchi.
Today, we were named @EditorPublisher's Best Daily News Site.
Never give up on your dream.✨
