We've all chased the “bucket list” shot—the iconic scenes everyone wants. But is that really where creativity lives? In this episode, I talk about letting go of trophy hunting and leaning into personal expression, being present, and making images that reflect how you see the world.

Episode 186: Depeche Mode – Speak & Spell (1981) Part 3 In this episode, Brian and Sarah resume their look back at Depeche Mode's debut album. As a reminder, they're using the US track listing as they talk about the album, but for the songs contained in this episode, the track listing is the same on both sides of the pond.  The next songs up for discussion aren't singles, but that doesn't stop our hosts from finding plenty of things to talk about. Here are just a few examples: •    Sarah's phrase ‘Erasure gallop' is changed to ‘Vince Clarke gallop' due to one of these songs •    Brian's favorite ‘one-two punches' of Depeche Mode album tracks—one of which is found on this album •    The probable origins of the song “What's Your Name?” and whether or not it's actually a bad song.  •    DJ Stevo competing with Daniel Miller to work with Depeche Mode, and the compromise that was reached •    The last live performance of “Photographic” and who was there for it Additionally, our hosts are thrilled to share recordings from two listeners who provided Speak & Spell memories, and there are three reviews to read as well. And here's a friendly reminder that you too, can use the phone number or link below to record your own memories for use in a future episode! Songs discussed in this episode:  Nodisco What's Your Name?

Also: one famous comedian refuses to sleep with Josh—but has hit on J Chris more than once. And don't miss Josh getting fully exposed for his Barney's buffoonery. Hilarious. Sharp. Just enough chaos.

“I  heard someone on TV say they didn't think Essex had wildlife, until someone said wildlife is everywhere. What is the world coming to?” That's the question left by listener James, in Ecclefechan, Scotland for your co-hosts Stuart and William to delve into. Wildlife? More Like Wild Conspiracies! Join William and Stuart as they dissect the absurdities of British wildlife with all the enthusiasm of a damp Saturday in Colchester. William opens by suggesting that if you haven't graced Colchester with your presence, then clearly you've missed out on all the subtle wonders it has to offer—even if they're as unexciting as a bus stop in the drizzle.Stuart then delves into the baffling story from thirty years back, when someone reckoned that North Wales was practically bird-free—simply because no one bothered to record them. That is, until a slightly under-the-weather bird watcher on Anglesey made the inconvenient discovery that, shocker, birds do exist. Yes, even in a landscape where no one takes notes, nature finds a way to upend common sense.Ever the inquisitor, William questions which part of Essex this supposed wildlife desert applies to, considering that even the busiest corners of the county attract a touch of life. Stuart is quick to chime in: if your idea of wildlife is confined to roaming elephants and lions, you're in for a rude awakening—try rolling back your carpet and what's under there. For the pièce de résistance, they tackle the wild conspiracy theories claiming that not only does New Zealand not exist, but neither does Finland. So naturally, it's a short leap of logic to imagine that Essex is just a barren wasteland devoid of any real wildlife. Martin, from Portree, Scotland sets the next question - “Heard you say you are not that active as a photographer these days William, do you see a time where you'd go back to it? Here in Portree, for a large part of the year, the landscape is multiple layers of grey. Have you done much photography with such a simple pallet?”Martin's question was the wake-up call William didn't know he needed. While other projects hogged the schedule, the camera was left gathering dust, and he admits he never quite granted himself the freedom to simply go out and shoot. Now though, he's slowly easing back into photography, sharing the notion that layers in landscape photography can transform even the most ordinary view into something with unexpected depth. Meanwhile, Stuart spices things up with a side story. He recounts a tale of a Portree painter who was so fixated on capturing the ever-changing moods of grey that she found herself painting four different canvases in the span of a single day. Apparently, the local weather wasn't content with just one look—each passing moment demanded its own portrait.Reflecting on his past and looking to the future, William confesses a need for subject matter that truly resonates with him. Back in the day, he was a prolific railway photographer with a portfolio that got plenty of press and the satisfaction of mastering a craft he loved. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose, he's dipping his toes into photography once again—and you can catch his latest snaps on Instagram under the handle @shotatanangle.What do you make of this discussion?

The Government claims there's been a notable improvement in the availability of GP appointments at the Primary Care Centre since reforms were introduced in February.

de skulle fejre karnevalet, en fest fyldt med farver og glæde.En: Everyone from the school was excited; they were going to celebrate the carnival, a festival filled with color and joy.Da: Sofie havde allerede købt en maske med fjer, og Kasper kunne ikke vente med at prøve autentisk italiensk mad på de små restauranter.En: Sofie had already bought a feathered mask, and Kasper could not wait to try authentic Italian food at the small restaurants.Da: Lars derimod havde en anden plan.En: Lars, on the other hand, had a different plan.Da: Han ville tage billeder – billeder der kunne vinde skolens kunstkonkurrence.En: He wanted to take photos—photos that could win the school's art competition.Da: Men regnen havde været en konstant følgesvend.En: But the rain had been a constant companion.Da: Skuffet over de grå skyer, følte Lars, at han aldrig fik det rette skud.En: Disappointed by the gray skies, Lars felt that he never got the right shot.Da: Sofie og Kasper, med deres udadvendte natur, navigerede let gennem regnen, mens de snakkede og lo med de lokale.En: Sofie and Kasper, with their outgoing nature, navigated easily through the rain, chatting and laughing with the locals.Da: Lars følte sig dog lidt overset i deres skygge.En: However, Lars felt a bit overshadowed in their presence.Da: Alligevel gik han ud.En: Nevertheless, he went out.Da: Det var tidligt, og der var ikke mange mennesker på gaderne.En: It was early, and there weren't many people on the streets.Da: Lars elskede stilheden.En: Lars loved the silence.Da: Han gik op ad en smal sti til en udkigsplads, han havde opdaget dagen før.En: He walked up a narrow path to a lookout spot he had discovered the day before.Da: Udsigten var fantastisk.En: The view was fantastic.Da: Klipperne, der kastede sig ud over det glitrende hav, og de små pastelfarvede huse, der kiggede ud over kysten.En: The cliffs jutting out over the sparkling sea, and the small pastel-colored houses peering over the coast.Da: Pludselig brød solen frem.En: Suddenly, the sun broke through.Da: Stråler af gyldent lys oplyste landskabet, og regnen fra før nattens skyer fordampede let i luften.En: Beams of golden light illuminated the landscape, and the rain from the previous night's clouds lightly evaporated in the air.Da: Lars kunne næsten ikke tro sine øjne.En: Lars could hardly believe his eyes.Da: Han tog sin kamera op, og i det øjeblik blev de første karnevalsparader synlige nede i byen.En: He picked up his camera, and at that moment, the first carnival parades became visible down in the town.Da: Folk i farverige kostumer dansede gennem gaderne, mens trommerne lød højt.En: People in colorful costumes danced through the streets as drums played loudly.Da: Lars fangede øjeblikket.En: Lars captured the moment.Da: Det var som om landskabet og festlighederne smeltede sammen i hans linse.En: It was as if the landscape and the festivities melted together in his lens.Da: Den stille morgen var pludselig fyldt med liv, men på en måde, han kunne relatere til.En: The quiet morning was suddenly filled with life, but in a way, he could relate to.Da: Han tog billedet, der skulle ændre hans egen opfattelse af sine evner.En: He took the picture that would change his own perception of his abilities.Da: Da han senere vendte tilbage til hotellet, var Sofie og Kasper der.En: When he later returned to the hotel, Sofie and Kasper were there.Da: De så billederne og klappede ham på ryggen.En: They saw the pictures and patted him on the back.Da: "Du gjorde det, Lars," sagde Sofie med et stort smil.En: "You did it, Lars," Sofie said with a big smile.Da: Lars smilte tilbage.En: Lars smiled back.Da: For første gang følte han, at hans indadvendte natur var en styrke.En: For the first time, he felt that his introverted nature was a strength.Da: Hans billeder havde fanget noget særligt, noget roligt og samtidig levende.En: His pictures had captured something special, something calm yet vibrant.Da: Da skolen senere omtalte hans billeder som enestående i deres skildring af Amalfi-kysten og karnevalet, vidste Lars, at han havde fundet sin vej.En: When the school later referred to his photos as exceptional in their depiction of the Amalfi-coast and the carnival, Lars knew he had found his path.Da: Han blev mere selvsikker og lærte at værdsætte sin egen stil.En: He became more confident and learned to appreciate his own style.Da: Karnevalet havde ikke kun været en fest for de udadvendte.En: The carnival had not only been a celebration for the extroverted.Da: Det var også en rejse for at finde skønheden i det stille og observerende.En: It was also a journey to find beauty in the quiet and observant.Da: En rejse, hvor Lars endelig havde fundet sin stemme i billedernes verden.En: A journey where Lars had finally found his voice in the world of images.
