My podcast is having a little break because of a family bereavement but it will be back before long. Got lots of interviews lined up and in the meantime you can check out the archive: interviews with cast and crew (including Mick Jackson!) and superfans. See you again soon. ❤️
“When someone tells me their cat has died, I have to resist asking: how could you tell?” My new piece explains delicately why dogs are obviously better than cats. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07...
New episode - giss’un! This week on the Threads podcast we hear from the lovely Marcus Lund who played Gaz in Threads. Marcus talks about what it was like behind the scenes of Threads, the film’s destruction of memory and how to find the beauty in life. Out now!
Giss’un’! My next guest on the #threadspodcast is Marcus Lund, who played Gaz. Coming up very soon on Jesus Christ, They’ve Done It!

Aiming for 12 miles today. Getting back in the swing of things.
The Threads podcast is back and it’s the Shag, Marry, Kill episode! Dr Vicky McMahon returns and we each choose a Threads character to shag, to marry and to kill. Who would you choose?
Happy Threads day to all my nuclear family! The Threads podcast returns in early June!
My new one is about MPs and running… spectator.com/article/why-...
Thank you for sending me this, AFR. A lovely surprise. You’re the heroes. God bless you and your work. 🙏🏼
My next book is The Wit And Wisdom of Jane Goodall. Following the success of my last book, The Wit and Wisdom of David Attenborough, this is a celebration of another national treasure. It went to the printers today and publishes in September! 🐒💚📗
Keir Starmer is the worst PM of my lifetime - and I’ve lived through the scoundrels that were Thatcher, Johnson and Truss. He slashed disability benefits, enabled mass slaughter in Gaza, criminalised peaceful protest, and echoed Enoch Powell. I can’t wait to see him go.
Thanks to everyone who sponsored me recently. Between us, we raised £1,276 for Animal Free Research. There are 2.64 million animal experiments in UK labs every year. This photo was taken recently in a UK lab.
I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like they’ve swapped heads?
Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough. A century of splendour. I was proud to write this book about this national treasure! 💚
When I wrote an article exposing cruelty in the dairy industry, I got weeks of abuse & threats from dairy farmers. I also got a calf named after me at a sanctuary and, to this very day, I get messages from people who went vegan because of my article. Never be scared to speak out against evil. 💚
Happy Narasimha Jayanti to all beings. May our ferocious, loving, divine protector shower us with blessings. This is my beloved Lakshmi Narasimha on this auspicious day. 🙏🏼
Five medals for the five marathons I’ve run. Last night I was firmly never again. Today, I’m hmmmm… #medalmonday #ukrunchat
I finished 42 minutes faster than last year. Can’t believe it. Thanks for all your support! There’s still time to sponsor me if you wish to. www.justgiving.com/page/chas-ne...
