Henry VIII incoming
After a slight delay due to the late monarch's legendary stubbornness, S4E9 is out on Monday
Incoming: Henry VIII
A week later than planned King Henry VIII is making his PastMaster debut - thank you for your patience, dear listeners!
We’re informed the monarch had some technical difficulties getting fully into the time machine, but he’s here now and he’ll be getting a grilling from Alice and Kim from Fetch the Smelling Salts podcast.
What will he think of Alice’s one-line put downs? Will the ultimate royal bad boy get his comeuppance? And how easy is it to disguise yourself as an angel?
Tune in to PastMaster on Monday and find out…
Henry VIII: getting a right fright from Kim & Alice
Going for gold!
Up for awards: PastMaster
PastMaster has been nominated for THREE gongs in the Golden Lobes comedy awards - best social media, best earworm and best cover art. We’ll find out next month if we’ll be tasting the nectar of victory or the bittersweet tang of a near miss.
If you haven’t already please take a moment and vote for PastMaster in the “listeners’ lobes” gong in the Golden Lobes comedy podcast awards (Needs to be on your tablet or desktop - they don’t do mobile just yet…)
Thank you so much!
Golden Lobes: massive
AI in the news
Battle of the bots: East vs West
The latest AI chatbot from Asia is about to appear from behind the curtain, posing a further threat to US rivals.
Hot on the heels of DeepSeek, the latest model from Alibaba, called Qwen 3, is soon to arrive, pitched as another low cost player in the large language model game, heaping further pressure on the likes of ChatGPT and Claude.
While Donald Trump uses the blunt hammer of tariffs to jam a stick into the world’s economy, this feels like a glimpse of the new world order: the giant, bloated US slowly fading as the new power rises in China.
