[This week, I took a phone call.
'Jon,' said the BBC's Head
of Awkward Conversations,
'That show you do on Radio 4?
The Now Show?'
'Yes,' I said, tentatively,
because phone calls like
this never end well.
'It's back on air in November.'
I already knew this, because
I had been asked to block
it out in my diary at the
end of the last series.
But now I was Having.
An. Awkward. Conversation.

'I'll get straight to the point,
' she continued. 'I'm afraid for the
next series, we're not inviting you back.
We're recasting it with more
women and diversity.'

And just like that, after 18 years
on the long-running show, I was out.
And that's fair enough. I'm not
here to complain about it.
Eighteen years is a pretty good innings.]
