Toasting our first pod cast and full of future plans, cheers everybody! 🍻

Here’s the right one: tinyurl.com/3w624f8y

As punishment, Ray has locked Pete in a room with just the Test Card for the weekend.

Visitors to Ray’s listen at their own risk and we cannot be held responsible for causing your DVD pile to grow, or your bank account to empty.

As mentioned in our chat about Grange Hill’s (lack of) smokers, actual proof of Nick O’Teen!

Maybe this reflects the fact that our special editions tend to get watched upon arrival, pushing everything else further down the ever-growing To Watch pile!

Taking credit for @cathoderays.bsky.social summoning this up.

What will we enable the TV universe to bring back next…?

*gasp* Have I summoned this via @cathoderays.bsky.social ?!

Ray has invested us with great responsibility. We will summon up more TV revivals/remakes.

Thanks for joining us, Lucy!

Were you a field trip arsonist, a naive intellectual snob, or a quipsome clever clogs?
For me Adrian Mole is the most realistic depiction of adolescence because he's so completely normal... right?

I bet we sound even more mature, intelligent and sophisticated than you imagined.

Ray's cafe signage. Ray's Rules. A wobbly set is not a moral failure.

Ray’s Rule #2:

A wobbly set is not a moral failure.

Ray's Cafe signage. Ray's Rules. must have been able to watch the programmes on a CRT set.

Ray has set down some ground rules before he opens the café doors to the Cathode Ray's Podcast.

Ray's Rule #1:
We must have been able to watch the programmes on a CRT television set.

We'll be adding more whenever Ray says so.

Phew! 😅 We’re doing our best to ensure we’ll be listenable across as many places as possible, not just the most popular few.

We’re geo-limited from adding ourselves to some US platforms. But otherwise if anyone finds we’re missing from their platform of choice, we can look into it.

Anyone for PodPodPodPods?

That list won’t be exhaustive but some platforms are taking a little longer to pick us up. E.g. I can already see that Podcast Addict has now picked us up too.
