Listen to two podcasts: Joshua Levine , author of

Fighter Heroes of WWI, talks to Harry Mount about the Royal Air Force, 100 years since it first took flight. He has been to preview the new RAF Museum.

Ferdie Rous, our editorial assistant, talks about ‘fat shaming’. No Thinifer himself, he admits he should be revelling in the fight for ‘fat acceptance’, but he feels it’s sad – the obese are not an oppressed group and would all do well to shift the stones. Fourteen extra articles!, Pieces from The Oldie’s blog, including Craig Brown on Ken Dodd, 2015’s principal Oldie of the Year. He fondly remembers ‘Lord Dodd of Knotty Ash’: ‘He aims to crack six jokes a minute, or roughly 360 an hour. He delivers them so fast that you are generally laughing at the last joke but three, or perhaps just generally laughing at the surrounding laughter.’
