With all the excitement of the Twelfth, and our cosy chats about the holiday here on Slugger, it would be easy to miss other important stories. Notwithstanding Pete’s reporting on people reporting on us and rusty boats, I see Anna Carragher has announced her retirement from the BBC. Ms Carragher has been with the BBC since 1970 and has been Controller since 2000.
I only met her once, and unfortunately I didnt know who she was, so just chatted about a lovely red scarf she was wearing. Colleagues of mine who were watching were desperately impressed that I seemed to know this powerful person! I had to spoil the illusion I’m afraid, not that anyone was too surprised.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
