Bang to rights
It has been a tense time in Tudor Towers, the new headquarters of TudoRama tunes.
I am setting down the disturbing events as I experienced them in the hope that they will be able to be used in my defence if needed.
My story begins on Sunday last. In some ways it was a typical day of efforts to meet the deadline of the international edition of TudoRama. This involved selecting a TudoRama teaser, and updating the daily news events.
The routine was interrupted by an urgent message our IT director Jonathan. I could tell immediately that something out of the ordinary had disturbed his equilibrium.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

4 min - A Glorious Victory
Send us Fan Mail
East Cheadle B is a fictional Chess club in a fictional league somewhere in the leafy suburbs of Cheshire. I may have drawn accidentally on experiences over the years as a member of clubs that took pleasure when they managed to pull off a rare victory against stronger opponents.
A Glorious Victory
I sing a song of a victory
Unmatched in the annals of our club’s history.
When you’ve heard the tale, you will agree
It was a glorious win by East Cheadle B- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

The Return of Manchester United
A message found bobbing in a bottle in the Irwin river. Believed to be the words of a terrace song.
Glory, glory Man United
Glory, glory Man United
Here we come already back on track
With Amorim as manager we’re coming back

Of course I didn’t mean to. These are National iconic figures whose work adds to Welsh culture as one grounded in the musical arts.
The day of my disgrace started innocently enough as I prepared my weekly newsletter with its eclectic mix of politics, sport (mostly chess and tennis), and assorted personal gossip...- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

Calon Lan: A great Welsh song
Written as a tribute to one of the great musical songs (arguably a hymn, but strong hints of a more ancient Celtic influence).

2 min - The decline and fall of Boris Johnson
Send us Fan Mail
Written and spoken by Tudor Rickards from articles in The Week, The Economist, and a Case study from Henley Business School.
The rise and fall of Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2022, and the subsequent disastrous loss from power of the Conservative Government in 2024 have become one of the most widely-studied cases of political decline in recent years.

Written and rather badly spoken by Tudor Rickards
possessor of two left hands and a wandering mind.
Lyrics planned for conversion into song by Grandmaster Jon

Bungee Jumping Boogie scrapes the rust from off your feet
Diving like a multicoloured human parakeet
Better than a roller-coaster, happy birthday treat
Your death-defying Present is the envy of the street
You crazy kid?

About TudoRama
From the publisher's feed
TudoRama explores the nature and practice of creativity in the arts, sciences, politics and above all in everyday life. Tudor Rickards is Emeritus Professor of Creativity and Organizational Change at…
the University of Manchester. Tudor studied chemistry and radiation chemistry at The University of Wales at Cardiff. Following post-doctoral research at New York Medical College, he returned to the UK to work in technical management before joining Manchester Business School. He has published numerous books and articles on creativity, sporting management and leadership, as well as fictional works involving the mythical University of Urmston. He has been influential in the development of creativity-related projects in Europe, including the European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI), and was co-founder (with Susan Moger) of the journal Creativity and Innovation Management. He is also author of detective stories centred around the fictional University of Urmston, and a nearby chess club which houses a top-secret government surveillance operation. His recent switch to podcasting reaches out to a wider general audience interested in current affairs, and the processes of creativity previously described in his lectures, blogposts, and textbooks.
