  Send us Fan Mail MacGillycuddy's Reeks: The Creation of a Folk Ballad MacGillycuddy's Reeks is a ballad about a young woman abandoned on the eve of her wedding. This is the audio note I made in turning an idea into a poem, on Friday 11 September 2026.

  The Modern Book Burners 07.09.2026 4мин

  Send us Fan Mail This is the story about a large scale operation, possibly illegal, in buying second hand books, scraping their contents before destroying the originals. It was drawn to my attention by a regular contributor to my newsletter who sent me this intriguing message. “I read this article a week or so ago, and it made me think about our conversation about your books being scanned for AI use. It’s such an odd situation - codified knowledge, scanned for AI use, and then the source is...

  Andy Burnham's Agenda. I discuss with CHAT GBT. 02.09.2026 4мин

  Send us Fan Mail ChatGBT helps me understand Andy Burnham's first policy statement as Prime Minister. The news headlines tended to tell us more about their political leadings than the statement to the House. As The Spectator saw it ‘Reviews of his debut yesterday are mixed, with most papers this morning focusing on his blaming of Brexit and Margaret Thatcher for Britain’s problems’. I found myself turning to ChatGPT. I couldn’t help noticing how the system had been program...

  Nine till ever. A tribute to Dolly Parton 26.08.2026 2мин

  Send us Fan Mail Nine till ever. A tribute to Dolly Parton This week every other news item was superseded by the news of the death of country superstar Dolly Parton I learned how she wrote songs in consolation at tragic incidences in a rollercoaster of life.

  Learning to chat with CHAT GBT 25.08.2026 4мин

  Send us Fan Mail I am continuing my apprenticeship learning to use ChatGPT. At the moment, my experiment demonstrates how with minimum experience it is possible to find the appropriate amount of information and dealing with some problem. Today my problem was identifying a new local Business, which I believe to be some kind of music club. My conversation with ChatGPT went something like the following, which I have slightly abbreviated. Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs ...

  Send us Fan Mail Wednesday 12 August 2026 Tonight the world will go dark. Light from the Sun will be blocked off for a few minutes.

  How the BBC creates rather than reports a news story: The death of a police officer 07.08.2026 6мин

  Send us Fan Mail The BBC has recently presented a significant news event in a way that seems to me to be utterly irresponsible and biased. It shows how reporting the news can slide into creating a news story to achieve an implicit goal.

  The two faces of celebrity. What's in a name? 05.08.2026 3мин

  Send us Fan Mail This week in the United Kingdom, two people were thrust into the headlines. One is a university professor. The other is a convicted criminal whose rehabilitation as a local counsellor is being backed by the leader of the Conservative Party. It sometimes seems that such stories have an increased chance of success if the key figure has an extremely unusual name, or unconventional appearance...

  Four Grandmothers and a Wrestler 28.07.2026 3мин

  Send us Fan Mail One of those stories you want to believe in, even if you suspect there is an element of promotional wishful thinking about it. The four grandmothers, Lynn, Susie, Rose, and Christine met wrestler Gordon DeReiss while travelling to Las Vegas to scatter the ashes of Rose's late husband, Pete. As sometimes happens, Gordon was sitting in one of their seats. He was wise enough not to get into an argument with the four grandmothers … Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcas...
