Playlist of the month: songs from TV adverts
This month's themed playlist is songs that have later gone on to be featured in TV adverts. Some of these are songs that were already well-known, but others are from bands or artists that became popular because their songs were featured in TV adverts. I could have spent hours choosing hundreds of songs for this,...

Setting the Stage at the Media Museum
2026 marked 70 years since the very first Eurovision Song Contest, and so the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford is holding a special exhibition called Setting the Stage.

youtube is quietly becoming the weirdest streaming service
youtube is no longer just a website with videos. according to my watch history, it’s a streaming service assembled from television, obsolete consoles, drag queens, wrestling autopsies, and whatever question I developed four minutes ago.

It Was Always a Love Story, Actually
What could a prestige antihero legal drama and a shonen apocalypse epic have in common? As it turns out, love. An analysis and comparison of Attack on Titan and Better Call Saul. Beyond the violent carnage, there's a tender love and labour which these two impossibly different pieces of media share.

the crib curse: can adding a baby ever actually save a tv show?
it is an ancient, undisputed law of television that the exact moment a long-running show introduces a positive pregnancy test, the writers have officially run out of ideas and the series is circling the drain. it usually signals the absolute death of casual hanging out, the sudden disappearance of main characters into background daycare voids,...

Streaming Service Ad Load Showdown
I've been doing some totally unscientific research on streaming service ad loads lately, and honestly, the results are both fascinating and infuriating. As someone who's had to go ad-supported on pretty much every service to save money, I've become intimately familiar with just how wildly different the advertising experience can be from platform to platform....

Last Weak Tonight
The decision to shut down Stephen Colbert’s long-running late-night show underlines a hard-to-miss point: It might be time to work around the studios for our comedic commentary.
