Gigantic news from our little podcast, @noholdspod.bsky.social on Spotify Wrapped.

We have been growing steadily since we started a few months ago, but these stats blew our minds.

Thank you to ALL OF YOU who listened and watched. 2026 will be even bigger. xxx

You can rest assured that we at @noholdspod.bsky.social will be thoroughly covering the Nathan Gill story on our next recording.

Unlike some outlets .

Meanwhile, you can hear the preamble and coverage of Reform's shocker of a week, right now.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet the
@patmillsuk.bsky.social today in Stroud, and I was lucky enough to grab interviews with
@dalevince.com and @stephenstroud.bsky.social to discuss their involvement in the group and what they hope it might achieve.

A @noholdspod.bsky.social special this week.

Part Two — the ongoing woes of the BBC and why things aren't as they seem.

Trump has had a shocker of a week, and @badassmutha.bsky.social talked about the over-prioritisation of mental health treatment to men in the NHS.

I did another Data Deep Dive.

Shall I just go ahead and call them Don's Data Deep Dives? Seems likely to happen!

Anyways, it's a long post about Rupert Lowe and his artificial engagement boosting. Link below, but image attached also.

Lovely day on Twitter when you call out a sitting MP for posting a picture of a noose and your account gets mass reported and then locked.

Obviously the original post is still up due to the army of Reform bots opposing the community note.

This changes nothing.

Lawyers have been instructed if you even dare to say there is snow in Gloucestershire.

One of my, all time, favourite gigs last night.

They Might Be Giants are incredible live.

What a treat, but our band photobomb selfie didn't quite work out!

I'm up in the dark as usual and sorting through some of my photos.

Anyone want to play a game of: Name That Castle?

Of course you do[n't]. Anyway, here's some castles.

I keep forgetting to come here and start posting but here's another recommendation of a beautiful place to visit; this time in the West Country/Cotswolds.

Cotswold Sculpture Park is a hidden gem and stunning to walk around. Great food and coffee too.

So, if I've judged the Blue Place correctly, we can post about nice things again and not have them ripped to pieces?

I'd like to start with a recommendation of a beautiful place in north Wales. Once of the most picturesque campsites I've been to in the UK.
