Sad news Robin, clearly the transphobes never listened to the show. I really hope Brian follows you out the door because the show is the two of you and you could make that show outside the BBC as a live show and put it on YouTube without any of the BBC baggage. Give Lineker a call.

Heartbreaking night where I told the final audience for Monkey Cage that I will ever play to that I had no choice but to resign
In the audience today at the amazing Niamos theatre in Manchester for the Christmas recording of Infinite Monkey Cage. Devastating news from @robinince.bsky.social - what must have been an incredibly difficult decision but absolutely the correct and humane one. Robin remains the best of us.

Digging foxes out of their dens is a perverse activity that no right-thinking individual would partake in.
Fox numbers are unnaturally high, but this is not how they should be managed.

I see this so often that I think it might qualify as a law:
The time people take to notice demographic trends is equal to the time required for the results to materialise.
In other words, however obvious the maths might be, we cannot or will not see it coming.

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite.
This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum.
Big issues we need to understand.

People just love planting trees, and sometimes there's no alternative.
But planted trees will NEVER create anything like the sheer diversity of forms of wild, self-seeded trees.
Only *nature* can do that.
