Podcasts about TFM

Michele lost 120 pounds—but the deeper transformation was learning to live without the food noise, social pressure and old identity that had shaped her relationship with sugar for decades. Episode #273

W/C 10th August 2026I am not quite sure what happened to the QC last week, but whilst recording TFM this morning I picked up on the fact that we had two Thursdays last week.Thinking back, I don't remember any form of official-calendar-based-anamoly so I am guessing it was just a cock-up on my part, and another example of me not being able to complete a simple task.I was reminded this week that I have been doing this for quite a while, and yet the number of times I still make basic errors is staggering.Sorry. I will attempt to address my tardiness.Stay safe.Dryland - How We LiveDryland - MarillionTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

"I know a person is from Fiji just by the way that they walk" - Fuzz AliOn Fijian food guru Fuzz Ali's menu: cooking with Mum and Grandma, lobster curry for Nigella, and Fiji Pantry chilli oil. Sides include: why the chicken lovo is the best analogy of cross-cultures in Fiji, being a role model for queer Fijians and why Fijian food is the best. Fuzz's social cause is downsyndrome.org.au. Fuzz is an ambassador for Down Syndrome NSW, an organisation working to build a more inclusive and accepting community for people with Down syndrome. He runs cooking workshops including one coming up later this year called "Cooking for Independence," which is all about using the kitchen as a place to build confidence.

I am half way through the new Dan Brown/Robert Langdon book and I am thoroughly enjoying it, even though it is a bit of a guilty pleasure.Why? Because it is fairly woeful.Not only are all of the RL books the same, but we are definitely in diminishing returns territory. Like most people my first experience of his writing was The Da Vinci Code, and I maintain that the first couple of hundred of pages of that book were genuinely original and enthralling.It's just that nothing post that really hit the spot in the same way. Even the title of the new one 'The Secret of Secrets' is a bit cringe, but that hasn't stopped me racing 350 pages in.I don't know what it is, they are proper page-turners.Anyway I decided to go with Pure Shores in the end, because the other track I had thought of is one that I have used before.

W/C 27th July 2026I am finding it hard to believe that I haven't used this song as an episode title before. Indeed, so concerned was I that I had and the search function in my hosting platform wasn't doing what it should, that I sorted it alphabetically and then checked it twice.The reason is simple, I have had so many special experiences over the time I have been recording TFM that I was convinced I would have used it as a reference.But no, absolutely no sign of it.Which means it must have been meant for this week, to reference that event, and that place.Stay safe.Fantastic Place - MarillionFix You Flash Mob - Joe JenkinsTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"If you don't have a sense of humour in politics, you're stuffed." - Jess MillerOn the Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney's menu: brown lentil spag bol, fine dining in Canberra, and Grow it Local 2013 with Jill DupleixSides include: serving Margaret and Gough Whitlam, growing up on a herb farm, Ruddock's rudeness, education in the City of Sydney, and a few fun (but scary) facts about life in the big smoke. Oh, and the two wheeled vehicle that guided Jess into politics in the first place. Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance.

W/C 20th July 2026I ended up having a bit of something to eat at Pizza Pilgrims this week, a funky little chain that I was aware of, but never actually frequented. It all turned out fine, the staff were friendly and attentive and the pizza was more than acceptable.In preparation for the weekend to come I opted for the Amalfi Coast, which meant Anchovies, Capers, Olives and at least two types of cherryish tomatoes. The reason I tell you this is that it is another marker on the road to anchovy-addiction. Maybe addiction is a little strong, but certainly the same (or similar) culinary fascination that pushes me to olives, blue cheese and sushi whenever I get the chance.None of this is particularly groundbreaking, other than they are all foods that in my younger days I wouldn't have gone anywhere near.Nevertheless questions remain, how and where do these new cravings come from, and I guess more importantly what am I going to be drawn to next?Stay safe.River - Jason Isbell and the 400 UnitTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 13th July 2026If I think about it rationally Dublin is no more of a city of contrast than any other. Most places you visit are marked by the different stages of their development, or the businesses that thrived there, and Dublin is no different. Depending on where you find yourself there are similarities with Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford and of course Liverpool.I guess the reason why it seems more obvious in Dublin is the way that in collides, most notably in the buildings along ether side of the quays, toward the port area, because the style of this development was never intended to blend in. It is dominant and obvious, and that is not to say that I don't think it has a quality, just that it was always going to sit uncomfortably with what went before.A lot of money has been spent, but I don't know how much of it has trickled down or out to enhance the lives of those who were born and raised there.Stay safe.Different Worlds - MagnumBoundary StoneVillage LifeTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 6th July 2026At first I thought the marketing algorithm might have lost the plot?I say that because this week I have been getting some very extended posts about the benefits of collagen, and the difference it can (and has if the posts are to be believed) made to the lives of many suffering the symptoms of the menopause.As you would expect my first thought was how and why are these finding a way into my feed, normally reserved for adverts about tennis trainers, tai-chi workouts, and how to spot the tell-tale signs of prostate cancer.But at the point I was discussing this with Alison as we wandered down the middle aisle of Lidl, I realised the genius of algorithm. I had succeeded in my task, and delivered the marketing message I was supposed to deliver, to the person it was intended for, in a bespoke and personalised manner. Exactly how I would like all of my notifications to be..Stay safe.Holding Out For a Hero - Bonnie TylerTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"There's no health and safety in an ethnic house" - Joe AvatiOn comedian Joe Avati's menu: making tomato sauce with the cousins, a three carat cake (no, that's not a typo), and fresh seafood in Spain. Sides include: growing up Italo-Australian, bung-eyes, and funny memories of his brother Antonio who would have turned 50 this year. Joe's social cause is the Kidney Foundation, his brother Antonio surviving until 42 years after having three kidney transplants during his life. The Kidney Foundation is the peak national body championing kidney disease prevention, early detection, and comprehensive patient care.

W/C 29th June 2026Never, ever, did I expect to be using this song as a title inspiration for TFM.I do have previous with it, because back in the day it was a third-set-staple when I was out playing the pubs and clubs of a weekend, in various parts of Yorkshire.But that still makes tacking it on as a reference to a section all about Brexit a little bit of a stretch, but there we are, that is how these things shake down.And the easter egg is discovering this video clip of it being performed as part of the Jools Holland New Year Celebration from the way back (I am not sure it was even the Hootenanny in 2003) featuring an incredible collection of artists and celebs. Admittedly it's very loose, but by the end everybody is having a whale of a time and you can't help but smile as you watch it.Stay safe.Jeff Beck - Hi Ho Silver LiningTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"When we were plating President Biden's food up the Secret Service swapped out the plate to make sure no one was trying to kill him off." - Emily Scott On Emily's menu: fresh peaches in France with Papa, cooking with Ma, and restaurant life. Sides include: cooking for the Queen and ticking the "Mother Box", life by the sea, and the ups and downs of running your own business. Emily's social cause is the Marine Stewardship Council - an international non-profit organisation on a mission to stop overfishing. When you buy fish and seafood with the blue MSC ecolabel, you're helping to protect our oceans and driving change above and below the water.Emily's books, Sea & Shore, Time & Tide and Home Shores, are a beautiful celebration of food, story and the coast she calls home. For our Aussie listeners, keep an eye out for Emily at writers' festivals around the country in 2027Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance. 

W/C 22nd June 2026No word of a lie, I popped out yesterday to try and buy a fan...And of course you are right to ask the obvious, what kind of a lunatic tries to buy a fan on day three of a heatwave. Well after a near-military effort to keep the house cool Josh's room was still in need of a bit of assistance, partly due to user error, partly due to house design and aspect.And, for what seems like weeks and weeks I have been wandering past 'em, literally in every store I could care to mention; a cornucopia of Pedestal, Tower and new-fangled Bladeless, all piled up like mountain ranges.Clearly I was on a hiding-to-nothing, and of course I didn't exacerbate the situation by offering up the question "do you have any fans left?", but the absurdity of my behaviour did make smile.Stay safe.The Heat Is On - Glenn FreyOEX Roof TentTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 15th June 2026Toyah took me to the Beatles, and the Beatles took me to Sarah McLachlan.(Of course it starts with a Apple TV box-set, but that will become obvious as you listen to this weeks episode…)It could so easily have been Toyah, as ‘It's a Mystery' is one of the earliest chart tunes I can remember being fixated on (thinking about it, if you throw in Prince Charming and Stand & Deliver, it does explain a lot).And whilst it ain't the greatest of the Fabs catalogue, I do love the way the drums kick back in after the break in MMT.But Sarah gets the nod this week, it's a classic tune and she is an amazing artist. In fact if you have never listened to Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, then you have a treat on store.Stay safe.Building A Mystery - Sarah McLachanTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"We have celiacs, sugar-free, vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and absolute carnivores in the family. When I'm cooking for say 34 on Christmas day, I'm making a range of different dishes. It's amazing how if you put a bit of planning into it, how easy it is to be able to feed all those people" - Johanna Griggs AM On the menu: Nanna's lemon sponge, cooking en masse, and all the Better Homes and Gardens goodness. Sides include: random hitchhikers, being a world class swimmer, roadtrips with Karen Martini and hubby Todd (who she wooed for 6 months with dinner parties just for him). Joh's social cause is Beyond Blue - Joh has been the longest serving Director on their current board. Beyond Blue's vision is that all people in Australia achieve their best possible mental health.

Oubliez les LLMs. Les travaux de cette chercheuse en IA seront bientôt sur toutes les lèvres. Cela faisait 20 ans que le monde de l'IA se cassait les dents sur ce problème. Malgré les progrès fulgurants de la discipline, que ce soient les LLMs, ou même le deep learning en général, rien n'y faisait. Impossible de faire mieux que les modèles de machine learning “classiques”. On parle pourtant d'un problème qui vaut de l'or. Imaginez pouvoir prédire le chiffre d'affaire d'une entreprise. Ou bien le prix de vente de votre appartement. Voire même les risques de cancer chez un patient. Tout ça, sans aucune compétence en machine learning. Et bien, c'est la promesse des TFM. Les “Tabular Foundation Models”. (Retenez bien cet acronyme) Des modèles capables d'interpréter vos bases de données, et de prédire à peu près tout ce qui vous passerait par la tête. La promesse est folle. Et certains industriels l'ont bien compris, car sans faire de bruit, ils y ont déjà investis plusieurs millions. Au coeur de cette révolution, il y a un labo de recherche français. L'INRIA. Déjà mondialement reconnus pour leurs travaux sur scikit-learn, une des libraires de ML les plus utilisées dans le monde, Les voilà désormais leaders des TFM. Mais comment ont ils réussi à “craquer” ce problème qui résistait depuis 20 ans ? C'est la question que j'ai posé à Marine Le Morvan, chercheuse à l'INRIA et pionnière du domaine.Bonne écoute

I recently sat down with Steve Chen on his Boldin Your Money podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about evidence-based investing — and why it matters more than ever in a world of speculation, hype, and constant financial noise. We covered my early days as a stockbroker in the 1960s, the psychology that trips investors up in downturns, how low-cost index funds transformed personal finance, factor investing and small-cap value, and why younger investors are being pulled toward gambling-like behavior through apps, crypto, and prediction markets. Whether you're just starting out or planning for retirement, I think you'll find it time well spent.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED• The difference between investing and speculation• Why staying the course is emotionally difficult• Wall Street incentives and investor behavior• The origins of index fund investing• Factor investing and small-cap value explained• Why diversification matters long term• Rebalancing strategies and portfolio management• Financial literacy and generational investing habits• Why gambling behavior is becoming normalized• How AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are changing education• The psychology behind successful long-term investorsTIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction02:55 Paul Merriman's start in investing05:20 Wall Street incentives and conflicts of interest08:35 Why investing is harder than it looks12:25 Investing vs speculation15:40 Why people panic during market crashes17:30 The psychology of staying the course19:10 Generational wealth and financial literacy23:40 The case for index funds28:45 Factor investing explained32:30 The four-fund portfolio strategy36:00 Rebalancing and long-term returns38:00 ChatGPT, Claude, and financial education42:15 Market valuations and investor behavior45:30 Building wealth intentionally49:00 Gambling culture and modern investing51:45 Teaching financial literacy to younger generations54:00 Final thoughts on long-term investingRESOURCES MENTIONEDPaul Merriman Foundation: https://www.paulmerriman.com/Try the Boldin Planner for free: https://go.boldin.com/podcasttep110Watch Video here- https://youtu.be/y_i5wrr_tfM

W/C 8th June 2026Because this week is a bit of an 'on location' episode I didn't get around to mentioning a few other things.Firstly, the parking notice appeared for APCOA who handle the parking at Manchester Airport, a cool £100 fine for genuinely forgetting to pay the £5 charge. As it turns out I was in the parking zone for 2 minutes and thirty-five seconds. I may well still share my thoughts on this further down the road...Secondly, and before heading off, it was Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit in Manchester at Bridgewater Hall. Everything about it was sublime, the venue, the setlist, the band and the man himself.He played a few 'band versions' of songs from his latest release, a solo acoustic album called Foxes in the Snow, and I can't think of a better way to name this week's episode than to share one of those songs. Especially as I don't recall a pertinent song about overhead lockers of very big barges.Stay safe.Crimson and Clay - Jason Isbell (Solo Version)Crimson and Clay - Jason Isbell (Band Version)Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 1st June 2026So I was in a hotel on Tuesday night, and I did that thing where I was just flicking through the TV channels and I chanced upon a film I hadn't seen in a long time. In this case it was The Hunt for Red October, and although I hadn't planned to, I settled back and gave myself over to a film I had seen many times before.Personally I think it is a belting movie, great cast and really nicely put together, and just the right thing for that particular moment. What's nice about those kind of happy accidents, is that I would never have been able to tell you thats what I wanted to watch - it needed to be a serendipitous experience.I love it when that happens.Stay safe.As The Dawn Breaks - Richard Hawley Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 25th May 2026I like things in group of threes or fives is possible.So the fact that naming this week's pod Thunderstruck means I have four touchpoints to the AC/DC classic is a little unsettling.The first is the song itself, absolute banger - no disagreement allowed.The second is the fact that it was used spectacularly well in the soundtrack of the Pixar film Planes.The third is excellent interpretation by those chaps known as 2Cellos, stunning stuff.And finally we have my thundery run, which you are going to hear about today. Which means I am on the look-out for a fifth just to resolve the symmetry conundrum.Stay safe.Thunderstruck - AC/DCThunderstruck - 2CellosTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 11th May 2026A thought struck me as I was walking through Charles de Gaulle airport last week. I wondered how far I was standing (at that precise moment, in that exact spot) from somebody that I knew, but was unaware of.And not just that moment, maybe the last time I was in London or in Leeds, or on holiday or on the train, etc, etc.Clearly with the tech we have at our disposal we can (to an extent) answer that question with stuff such as location sharing, and snap-maps. But that only works with an engaged friendship group, and not necessarily everybody we have ever come into some form of contact with.So the question remains, how close do we pass to people we are acquainted with, but never actually bump into. Was an old school friend also passing through CDG at the same time as me last week, or taking coffee in Headingley yesterday whilst I was at the cricket, or being stuck in the same queue as me on the M1 on Tuesday evening.Answers on a postcard please.Stay safe.Honesty - Billy JoelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 4th May 2026There are so few opportunities to use this particular song as an episode title (this is certainly the first since I started TFM) that I snatched at it, without hesitation.As a guitar player as was well aware of Gary Moore, and whilst not a card-carrying devotee, I was certainly more than aware of the range and depth of his work. I got to see him play live once, at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 2010, and he certainly lived up to his reputation.What I didn't know at the time was that it would be his last ever recorded performance, as he would die less than a year later in Estepona, he was 58. I have spent quite a lot of time there, it is a place I really like, and yet I had no idea of that part of the story.I have included footage of that performance alongside side the original for no other reason than I was there, and finding it took underscored the poignancy of that night.Stay safe.Parisenne Walkways (featuring Phil Lynott) - Gary MooreParisienne Walkways (Montreux Jazz Festival, 2010) - Gary MooreTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 27th April 2026It will become obvious when you listen to my week why I have picked this particular song as the title track.As you will hear I had considered A Legacy by Marillion, or In A Lifetime by Clannad, both of which would have captured the spirit of what I was talking about.But instead I went for the Jason Isbell one, because to me it talks more to the journey from the initial concept to where it eventually ended up.Stay safe.Jason Isbell - If It Takes A LifetimeDon't WordleJune Emerson Wind MusicTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 6th April 2026As we were driving to Manchester Airport last week we realised we had left the newly-purchased suncream at home. Even though we had only been travelling a few minutes we decided not to turn back, but risk picking some up at the departure lounge, irrespective of the fact it would probably be at an eye-watering supplement.As it turned out it was pretty much the same as buying from Boots on the high street, and another thing I noted was that the coffee and sandwich that I got from Pret was not only the same cost, but I was able to get my Club Pret discount. So kudos to everybody at T2 for not taking advantage of those passing-through.Surprisingly, and in sharp contrast, it cost eleven euros for 2 small cervazas on the way back - which is exactly what I wasn't expecting in GC. This was followed by sixty-five euros for a family Burger King (there really wasn't much more in the way of choice) which really did seem like profiteering.A tale of two departure lounges.Stay safe.Richard Hawley - As The Dawn BreaksTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 30th March 2026I am hoping you will forgive me if the edit is a little off compared with normal.The good news is that I have managed to assemble and export this week's TFM on the iPad for the second week on the spin, and the first where I didn't have a fallback option.The not-so-good news is that I can't work out how to fine-tune the episode length (I like the episodes to end in a double digit format) and the volume fades are not as precise.I am sure I will get better, but I must admit I am finding the new workflow a little frustrating.Clearly not a real world problem, so I will give my head a wobble, but at the same time this wouldn't be TFM if I didn't at least mention it.Stay safe.P.S He finished with Carless Whisper so we got the saxophonic holy trinity - very apt considering what day it was…(Reach up for the) Sunrise - Duran DuranGuardanapoTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

A three-year investigation by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Congolese NGO Premi Congo uncovered severe health consequences for communities living near the Tenke Fungurume Mine (TFM) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the world's largest copper-cobalt mine.  Residents report nosebleeds, coughing up blood, and a troubling rise in stillbirths, all linked to high levels of sulfur dioxide emitted by a processing plant at TFM operated by Chinese mining giant CMOC Group. Luke Allen, a senior African program campaigner and one of the authors of the report, joins Eric & Géraud to discuss how the investigation also exposed major problems in corporate certifications that are supposed to call out this kind of environmental harm, but instead gave cover to the very companies causing it.

W/C 23rd March 2026I appreciate I have said this before, but one of the challenges of TFM is that some weeks what goes through my head just isn't that interesting.Take this week, twenty odd minutes of stuff but honestly, nothing that is going to give you any deeper insight or philosophical clarity. You could summarise it as something I have taken a shine to, and something I haven't, something I haven't heard for ages and enjoyed, and something I haven't but didn't, and something that may (or may not) be a bit of a fad.You see, even the notes for the pod this week aren't that enlightening.Stay safe.Human - Rag 'n' Bone ManRenault 5Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 16th March 2026On the back of using a Cliff track for a recent TFM I went back and listened to 'those' albums all over again, which is why it was easy to join the dots and get to this track whilst trying to come up with something for this week, specifically the on-location recording bit.Of course that then took to me back to that very 'of it's time' video, that has the man himself roller-skating around listening to a Sony Walkman. The things that I get dragged back to as part of the TFM process are indeed more than a little surreal.I know I said it in the pod, but thanks to you all for your support and feedback.

W/C 9th March 2025I am now in two minds.Having mentioned this tune toward the end of this week's TFM I am not sure it is in fact the right choice because equally I could be the problem in the integrity of this figurative dam. But you have got to pick a side and I do like this track so I am sticking with it (don't worry it will all make sense as you listen, or at least it should...).I don't know what else to write about what I have to say as it kind of stands alone this week, so I will take up no more of your time and let you listen.Stay safe.Hold Back The River - Wet Wet WetTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 2nd March 2026As you are about to hear I went somewhere a bit special this week, and it took me right back to early 1983, as I approached my twelfth birthday.At that stage I was desperately waiting for the day to arrive, because I was hoping to get a ZX Spectrum (16KB) and join the cyber-generation. In preparation, and as a way of increasing my sense of anticipation and excitement, I had been reading, and re-reading the couple of computer magazines that I owned, devouring anything I could and planning what I would use the mythical machine for.Within the pages was an advert for the Spectrum, a full size image on the actual machine in all its glory. I remember this vividly, because as the day approached I had taken to sitting cross-legged on the floor, typing commands into the keyboard, and imagining how my life as a top programmer was going to pan out.Stay safe.I'm Nearly Famous - Cliff RichardTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 23rd February 2026It's been a long time since I have watched Pulp Fiction, but it came up in conversation when I was asked by my eldest if I could suggest something for him to watch.At the beginning of lockdown I began the process of ripping my DVD collection and having everything available as easy playback and sharing, and having got about 80% of the way through it before getting bored, it meant I had a lot to peruse and ultimately recommend.Along with the cool-as-you-like Tarantino classic I offered up Grosse Pointe Blank, I Am Legend, Inception, Phone Booth, The Usual Suspects, Seven, Birdman, Blade Runner and Unbreakable.Oh, and Phoenix Nights.Stay safe.You Never Can Tell - Chuck BerryTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 16th February 2026I am bringing you a bit of a story this time, so here isn't much I can really say about it in advance...I need to just let it all unfold, so to speak.What I can say is that the track that gives the episode its title is by Dave Lee Roth, and is from an album called A Little Ain't Enough released in 1991. It is memorable for me because I went to see DLR on that tour, and it remains the only live experience I have of him or any link to Van Halen.It is also memorable because I bough a t-shirt that had 'Pure F*ckin Rock' emblazoned on the front (just without the censorship) which I wore with the cocky swagger of a 20 year old, thinking I was the first.Which is more than a little amusing, in the context of today's tale.Stay safe.Sensible Shoes - Dave Lee RothTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 9th February 2026In between recording and note-writing Wikipedia has provided one of the answers;St Andrew's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in an isolated position, in fields about 2 kilometres to the north of the village of Woodwalton.The isolated position of the church is thought to be due to its central location between Woodwalton Castle, a motte and bailey castle to the north, Sawtry Abbey to the west and the village settlement to the south.It is about 200 metres to the east of the East Coast Main Line and is visible from the passing trains.A picture of the church appears on the cover of the book The Nation's Favourite Churches by Andrew Barr.Oh, and it allows me to tip my hat to the Little Angels, on the week tickets have gone on sale for their reunion tour.Stay safe.Splendid Isolation - Little AngelsSt Andrews Church, WoodwaltonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.
