Lots More NT Pod Shorts

Since my last post here, on July 30, I have posted nine more NT Pod Shorts on my YouTube Channel. I have realized that posting every link here is going to be a bit too time-consuming, not least given that I will be posting three or four each week. So if you'd like to watch my NT Pod Shorts, please subscribe to my YouTube channel (@podacre). 

I am also uploading them to other social media -- Twitter, Facebook, BlueSky, TikTok, Instagram -- links on the right. 

I am also continuing to record the longer format NT Pod episodes, and I'll release them really soon. 

In future, I will use this site solely to publish the fresh episodes of the longer format. 

Thanks so much for your support!
