It may be ambitious to hope this interests anyone but me, but: I've written 3,000 words on the mysterious origins of the world’s green men (and what his various designs say about us). I adore Tomi Um's illustrations on this piece!!🚦telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…

I am - and simply cannot not be!! - fascinated by the subtle variations in the 'green man' around the world. In France he is so tall and slender. In Denmark he has a strong chest. Germany's is the most iconic, of course, but what of the sharp tailoring of Japan's!

From the 1950s to the 1980s, big companies like McDonald’s and Coca-Cola wrote glitzy, big budget motivational musicals that were performed privately SOLELY for their employees. I was thrilled to produce a podcast episode all about them!! 20k.org/episodes/indus…

Twenty years ago, you only had to get to question eight out of 15 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? to be most of the way towards a house deposit; now you have to get to question 11. 💰💷📉 I wrote about how TV prize money ain't what it used to be!! theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

For my newsletter, I spoke to a man who spent the 70s and 80s collecting lost pet posters. He believes they're a forgotten folk art - I think he's right. I loved writing this; I hope you have a chance to read it! ameliatait.substack.com/p/the-man-who-…

I think that personal essays that don’t mortify you are just self-promotion. Or at least, that might be the only explanation for why I’ve written this, which is about feeling jealousy for the first time as an adult. Don’t read it, thanks!! newstatesman.com/comment/2024/0…

The thing about Mad Men being the best show ever made is that isn’t just like… slightly better than the second best show ever made. It’s on an entire page by itself. It’s like it’s a different format. It’s so much better than anything else. I have to say it!!!

SECRETS. LIES. SEASONINGS. For over a year, I’ve been searching for the answer to a very important question: who decides which countries get which crisp flavours? Some of the things I found out made my jaw drop. Here is my investigation: theguardian.com/food/2023/dec/…
