Having missed the #telecast event on Friday evening for #ComicRelief, was delighted this morning to find that some of the sketches were available online, which was excellent fun!! Brilliant also to include #blind comedian #ChrisMcCausland in it, as “not the getaway driver”…
I’m so thrilled that Chris McCausland has won the #HouseofGames this week!😊 #HOG #ChrisMcCausland #Champion #WinningIsntEverything
Been taken to a deeper-than-usual #philosophical level this morning with podcast episode “Pete Wicks’ Man Made” with guest #ChrisMcCausland talking about how he thinks of life, role models, strength, resilience, responsibility, etc. From the male perspective, it was a very interesting conversation.
Congratulations for the nominations, to #RosieJones, #ChrisMcCausland, #CatBurns, #HannahHampton and #JackThorne!! Promoting issues within disability by talking about them means it’s not so ‘strange’ to everyone else and we understand a little more!
Am a bit behind due to the night out yesterday seeing excellent comedian #ChrisMcCausland…
#Day18 (y’day) had theme ‘with a fabric or metal in the title’ so I went for #FiveStar and their 1989 track ‘Strong As Steel’, rather than the 2009 track ‘Cotton’ from #NanciGriffith.

‘Twas an excellent show from #ChrisMcCausland…. We really enjoyed it!! Didn’t think that he would have time afterwards, so did not try to meet him, he’s got to head for the Lakes this evening anyway, I should think… but I left a card & chocolate for him (& maybe Graham)!
Thoroughly enjoyed an evening seeing #comedy legend #ChrisMcCausland this evening… so good!! Have needed a good #laugh! And he delivered that in spades…. If you haven’t got a ticket, I would books soon to see him!
#Hilarious!! Catching up on #Episode6, of #BBCRadio4 #YouHeardItHereFirst panel game… #ChrisMcCausland so enjoying saying “You’re wrong!” - #ZoeLyons, #RoisinConarty, #NabilAbdulrashid & #RhysJames were so funny in this show, clearly showing it’s tricky being #blind even if you have seen things!
Trying to keep up with radio shows & their podcasts this week. I have the joy of #TheNewsQuiz #Episode6 to go, and waiting until Episode11 of @murderbastard.bsky.social. Still missing #ChrisMcCausland & #DiabneBuswell podcast #WinningIsntEverything, but c’est la vie. Thankful for past episodes.
Sorry, should be #ChrisMcCausland and #DianneBuswell) - curses to typos not spotted before posting!
Still hoping my other favourite podcast (“Winning Isn’t Everything” from #ChrisMcCausland and #DiabneBuswell) makes it back with a new episode but I fear I will not be lucky… it’s leaving quite the hole in my weekly joy.

Had a very enjoyable, fantastic evening last night with Alison, at Crewe Lyceum, seeing Chris McCausland on his tour #Yonks. Thanks to Chris for making time to have photographs after the show.😊 #ChrisMcCausland
#YouHeardItHereFirst panel game on #BBC #Radio4 last night was a hoot… @ivograham.bsky.social, #BellaHull, #FrankSkinner & #DianneBuswell trying to guess things from audio clips without visuals… “Three Lions” snippet (originally sung by Frank S) was a sneaky move from host #ChrisMcCausland, though!!
Oh my word!! There’s #wishing, there’s #hoping, but was truly not expecting that there’s a new episode of #WinningIsntEverything podcast from #ChrisMccausland and #DianneBuswell released today, which is #Christmas to many people!! Busy year, get some good food, great rest & #laugh loudly!!
#TimLovejoy to #ChrisMcCausland: "Do you remember watching me on 'Soccer AM'? Chris: "No-one every watched 'Soccer AM', did they?" 🤣 #SundayBrunch
Finally plucked up the courage to start listening to #ChrisMcCausland book. Really enjoying it & highly recommend it. I love that Chris is reading it & pretty sure there's some AdLib in there too. It's great when you feel like you get something extra as a #blind person instead of missing out😊

Currently watching #fascinating TV show on #BBC2 with blind comedian #ChrisMcCausland exploring options in tech for accessibility, such as self-driving cars, glasses and phone apps… amazing to watch how he does life now, let alone what else is coming to help him.
Listening to fascinating tales from #ChrisMcCausland being interviewed by #EmmaBarnett on ‘Ready To Talk’ #BBCSounds podcast - not just about #Strictly, but also much from his life & becoming fully-blind. He is wonderfully-open in talking about all his experiences & how it all happened, bravo!
So finally got around to buying the #audible version of 'Keep Laughing' by #ChrisMcCausland Now to pluck up the courage to start reading it. It took me some time to get used to 'hearing' books but now I love giving my eyes a rest and listening to them. #RetinaUK50 @retinauk.bsky.social
From the Royal TV Society’s recent conference, guests such as actor #DavidTennant & blind comedian #ChrisMcCausland, talking about #AI. Ends with a quote from Chris: “Accessibility creates a better experience for everybody.”
Too right!! Always worth bearing in mind. rts.org.uk/article/stri...
Interesting episode of #BBCRadio4’s show #AccessAll with the astonishing #ChrisMcCausland as guest - he’s so amazing at what he does and, naturally, can do: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
The Royal Television Society’s #CambridgeConvention2025 has just been taking place, and has had two of my fave TV people talking there, #DavidTennant and #ChrisMcCausland. Both spoke of enabling people from all sectors of society to participate in this creative world on TV.
#Gutted to discover my favourite podcast #WinningIsntEverything from fab comedian #ChrisMcCausland & his winning #SCD dance partner from 2024, #DianneBuswell, is under a pause if not a complete stop. They really make my week: I rarely listen to any pod episode as it’s released, but I do this one!
I've voted for Winning Isn't Everything with #ChrisMcCausland & #DianneBuswell - podfollow.com/1791441718 in the #britpodawards Listeners' Choice Award for this year, it has truly given me much joy listening & cheered me up considerably at times!

Enjoyed the words of the #WinningIsntEverything podcast - “blaster plaster” should be a thing! And there’s no middle ‘n’ in Llandudno… but I think #ChrisMcCausland needs to give #DianneBuswell a link to Wikipedia sometimes, although this would reduce the humour!
