I first started following Kurt's blog, Cultural Offering, on the recommendation of Nicholas Bate a few years ago. What I love about Kurt's blog is that his is more of a journal than anything else. Political stories, current affairs, sports, family life and of course the occasional shots of what's being cooked on the grill. A true slice of life on the American side of the pond.

You just need to take a look at the categories that Kurt has listed on his blog to see the diverse range of topics he blogs about. There's everything here. And that's the key thing I love about Kurt's blog. Diversity. I like specialist blogs, I really do, but Kurt's blog really stands out because he just posts what interests him.

Always a pleasure to read and always different. That's Kurt Harden.
