The Sink is not the kind of podcast that will have you guffawing immediately – in fact, you may be confused by this parody of sleep-inducing meditation shows. But once you get acclimated to its surreal conceit – the process of dredging up “what’s stuck in your tubes” and remedying the “bad smell” in your brain – Natasha Hodgson’s comedy-horror show is full of brilliantly unsettling laughs. Hannah J Davies, Guardian deputy TV editor Nicole Byer of Why Won’t You Date Me? Photograph: Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP Nicole runs the gamut from incredibly filthy and raunchy to deeply heartfelt in the conversations she has with her guests about therapy, the daily struggles of maintaining a relationship, grief, the realities of existing in a body that society sees as Other (fat, Black, POC, trans, etc). There’s no dating lately because of Covid, but it seems like the podcast is even better because the tangents run all over. One thing is for certain: it’s always so damn funny.
Mold's Theatr Clwyd has announced 10 free or low-cost digital shows for the season.

It’s 9am in Northampton and the sky is determinedly grey. Shops are opening their shutters in a nondescript business park about 10 minutes’ drive from the rail station. A large hangar-like space is visible from the street, painted in that dank green-grey paint you never actually see on sale. Tucked just inside the cold exterior sits a puppy daycare centre, with pastel pink decor, doggedly at odds with its surroundings. We peer down the adjacent, featureless corridor that leads to the building’s communal bathroom, and pull open the heavy metal door, a term more than appropriate for what’s inside.
