I’m not sure I would normally reach for a show like All Her Fault, because the concept of a missing child is pretty depressing and there are other things higher up on the list. The hook, such a good one in this show (you turn up to collect your child from a playdate only to find the person that answers the door has no idea what you’re talking about), usually …

During our second 90s evening (it's becoming a thing!) I noticed something during the Gladiators episode that was so smoothly done, it hadn't even registered in my mind. The men's and women's events were swapped in order throughout the show and for each episode. For example, who was introduced first, sometimes the men, sometimes the women. Who took to the Eliminator first at the end of the episode? This time …

In a further effort to reach out and communicate with fans and players of The Sims 4, the team behind the game started the first of a series of streams called Behind the Sims where they shared lots of sneak peaks and updates about what's happening and what's coming soon. I didn't watch the video myself but have seen plenty of the news that's been reported on since, and some …

Variety published a story yesterday detailing a walkout by the jury at the Sundance film festival from a film where closed captioning wasn't available. They've been striving for greater accessability anyway, but in this instance it was a specific problem for the jury, which includes wonderful actress Marlee Matlin. The article suggests it was a dramatic walkout after a captioning device didn't work, whilst the statement from the Sundance organisers …

The best kind of podcasts are those that have a simple premise that can run and run. Encyclopedia Womannica is exactly one of those. Hoping to give some attention to those women from history that have either been overlooked completely or have not had the attention they should have had. Over the course of a year, the hosts aim to feature the profile of a historical icon, as the podcast …

I've never really got on that well with Siri. Apple's voice activated assistant can do some cool things but she never really listens to me and I find it easier just to swipe and tap to get what I want. I'm not alone in getting frustrated with Siri, but I've long been complaining to Mr C that she just doesn't listen to me. He's not experienced the same level of …

I'm currently listening to the audiobook Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. It's focus is on the gender data gap - the ways in which the world is often unthinkingly designed for men and how that affects women in real and unexpected ways. I'm finding it hard going, not because of the book itself - it's well written, researched and read - but because the unintended and far-reaching consequences of …

I requested some sticky tape and then made the mistake of taking a couple of days off. The stationery catalogue is hidden away in my filing cabinet, but someone must have found it and placed an order. When I mentioned this over on Sidepodcast, the reaction was instant and very divided. As an over-generalisation, the girls hate it and the boys think it's funny. I'm sure you already know what …

A few months ago, I posted my hastily edited video of Red Arrows footage, and I thought I did a pretty good job following those speedy little planes around the sky. I love the Red Arrows. It's bizarre because I do not like to fly, everything about the idea of being in the sky fills me with dread, I have nightmares about plane crashes that I've clearly made up, but …

There’s a particular electronics retail outfit that starts with a PC and ends with a World and has rude staff. I was sent to the World today, and was very happy when I found exactly what I wanted straight away. I took it to the desk, where a man with a ginger beard took it and scanned it. "Is this for business or pleasure?" he guffawed, "need I ask." How …
