Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter is definitely a Karnstein Hammer Horror film. One of the characters is a Karnstein descendant. We need a BBC Sunday night series all about this vampire family! Proper British gothic!

Having a very quiet Saturday listening to podcasts. 🎧 Highly recommend @secretsandspies.bsky.social @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social @spybrary.bsky.social Be warned... Your reading and watch list will massively increase!

Weimar by Katja Hoyer is superb! These are stories of ordinary citizens during a interwar years and the lead to the WW2 and the Holocaust. It may be a book about history but it's very much a book about our times.

I keep hearing organisations say they're "pressing pause" on projects or initiatives... Is it truthful or a way to avoid scrutiny? A blog i wrote 👇 medium.com/@commsguymat...

Just been to the Nova Exhibition in London. A powerful and heartbreaking visit. What happened on October 7 was not resistance. It was pure evil. Never again in now.

Early morning spin class done 🚲 Next up on my new morning routine is some professional development. Enjoying this new book about Marketing and Psychology... useful behavioural science to help me think about shaping messages.

"Jesus saves" was right there...

Tell me your out of touch without etc etc 😒

This was definitely my favourite Eurovision song this year! Mazel Tov to Noam Bettam for coming second. Another great run of Eurovision songs from Israel! Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱

What do you wear to a Doctor Who themed Sunday Service???? Cosplay encouraged for this celebration of the Nu Who episode Father's Day which was filmed in St Paul's Church Grangetown, Cardiff! Sunday 17 May at 11am! WIBBLY WOO!

"Not getting into pointless arguments on the internet is an act of rebellion." Don't Burn Anyone at the Stake Today by @naomialderman.bsky.social is essential reading for surviving this information crisis. I loved it!

Also caught up with some lush comms folks at Rachel Miller's book launch for Successful Change Communication!

Wonderful trip to Manchester to be at the launch of Advita Patel's book Decoding Confidence! Looking forward to reading this and getting a lil confidence boost!!

Listening to my parents old vinyl collection and I swear i can smell the grass circulating in the air... "Well it was the 60s, Matthew." 👏 Steve Miller Band early albums are pure psychedelic blues.

👏 Feedback every church comms professional longs to hear... Today in church I was chatting to a new person who came. Just moved to the area and decided to come along to St Dyfrig and St Samson's Church Grangetown because she saw the videos on socials!!! 👏 Church comms is ministry!

Pilates to start the day

Lads what read together, stay together! Yes. I use a reading light! The Le Carré print is small

"Even while claiming remorse today, #Ye's latest album includes a track first released last year with the abhorrent title Gas Chamber." - Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg

Listening to the CEO of Wireless Festival justifying their decision to show an antisemitic idiot headline is quite sickening. Jews don't count.

Human rights abuses against Christians are shamefully ignored

Boris Karloff and spies... Be still my beating heart

I love Hannay! The 39 Steps continuation novels are rip roaring fun too!

Easter Sunday Dawn Service in Cardiff was wonderful! Thanks to Fr @cwmdarericardo.bsky.social for blessing the City of Cardiff from the top of Grangemoore Park!

I'm living for these details.

John Le Carré The Honourable Schoolboy is outstanding spy fiction. Can not put it down!

Volunteering with my local church to do their Easter comms. My day job is church comms too. This isn't a job it's a calling. Happy to volunteer. 🌄 6am Easter Sunday Dawn Service in Cardiff! Meet Cardiff Bay Asda.

🗳️ Senedd Elections Ahead of the Senedd elections, here's what Farming unions are calling for. Family farms keep rural Wales alive. If policies make farming unviable, rural communities weaken and so will Welsh language and culture! 👇 www.fuw.org.uk/media/attach...

(RNS) — Catholic influencers are helping drive a trend this Easter as young adults prepare to be baptized in large numbers.
