Made our way from the centre of Berlin to the East Side Gallery. Sadly we had to go around a large far right demonstration. Luckily a very nice German woman told us what was happening and where to avoid.

Had a really excellent walking tour of Berlin today. Great guide who gave us loads of fascinating information and fun tidbits. From the surreal to the serious via the sublime. Just great.

BBC muzzling one of its best presenters from making an excellent, wholly factual programme because heat pumps are “controversial”. An organisation badly in need of new leadership.

I really really miss what the BBC once was. I hope it can recover from the depths it's sinking to.

Absolutely loved making this episode - the discussion and the homework. This month on @zeitgeisttapes.bsky.social @polprofsteve2024.bsky.social and I looked at two films by Frank Capra that cover the good and bad of populism. Make the American System Great (Again?). audioboom.com/posts/870755...
