Think David Sedaris or Alan Bennett and you've got the style of this podcast: a weekly selection from my daily blog, Dad’s Daily Writing, at https://threeflats.wordpress.com (https://threeflats.wordpress.com)
A journal recounting the absurdities of everyday life. An AI analysis likened it to the sort of thing the two authors previously mentioned might write which just shows you how much you cannot trust technology.

Son, Sand and Snark & Game, Seat and Match - this week's best bits
I write a daily blog. Every day. It's at www.threeflats.wordpress.com (http://www.threeflats.wordpress.com) if you don't believe me.
Every week, I choose the best two daily entries and record them as a podcast. I've been doing that since January 2026 and so far 240 people have listened to them at the time of writing. Go me.
This week, I talk about a visit by my son and his partner (Son, Sand and Snark) and the difficulties one faces when choosing a seat at the cinema (Game, Seat and Match).
The theme music, if you can call it that, was written and performed by me. Go me. Again.

Bean and Gone & Stall in the Family: this week's tales
I write a daily blog and have done so since January 2018.
Since January 2026, I've been choosing two a week and recording them as a podcast.
Bean and Gone explains what a BCT is and why they are back in the garage.
Stall in the Family explains why I laughed at my son stalling his car so much and why that isn't as cruel as it sounds.
The full blog is at www.threeflats.wordpress.com (http://www.threeflats.wordpress.com)
I wrote the music too. And played it...

Guides, Covers and Other Unexpected Journeys - this week's best bits
Every week, I take the best two posts from my daily blog at threeflats.wordpress.com (http://threeflats.wordpress.com) and record them as a podcast.
"A Cover Story" explains why a temporarily forgotten list of songs played a key part in a meeting I had this week.
"Twice in One Night?!" is about the extraordinary evening where I went out twice - unheard of for a person who rarely goes out at all.
As well as all the words, I wrote and performed all the music too.
If you enjoyed this, there are 33 other episodes some of which has considerably fewer mistakes in the recording...
