The Now Show!

[Umber]

Who listens to this masterpeice of comedy? Starring Hugh Dennis, the god of all that is manly and entertaining.

Also Marcus Brigstocke, who I am very fond of. ^__^

For those who know not, The Now Show is a 30min radio broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Fridays from 6:30-7:00pm, Saturdays from 12:30-1:00pm.

It comes as a podcast, and once overtook Chris Moyles' podcast. probably because he's a sardonic, ego-centric fat man with a microphone, some music and a lot of money.

Download an episode and titter muchly.

That aside, anyone care to discuss?

I do....although often as the podcast thanks to silly hours at work.

*Have you also ventured into Andy Hamiltons 'Old Harry's Game'?

 

[Umber]

Podcast is best. You get a surly Marcus explaining why they can't play you copyrighted material...XD

I have not. What is it, I am assuming it is good. ^__^

Now that the Tommy Sheridan Summer Show is over, sure, why not.

It's also got Mitch Benn.

Which is good.

David.

Did you hear the version of "The very Hungry Caterpillar" he did? How legendary. ^__^

Mitch Benn seems quite classy, though I've not heard much of his solo stuff. A lot of my friends love him, and his site is rather impressive.

I LOVED The Hungry Caterpillar song.

I plan to teach it to the Sunday school kids!

Umber.
Old Harry's Game...well it is set in Hell with the Professor, an atheist whose unerring optimism is a nasty blow to Satan, and Thomas, chairman of a privatised water company (so vile that Judas Iscariot starts calling him the Guv'nor).

You can find it on the BBC website its biting satire.

 

[Umber]

Thanks, I will be sure to check it out. ^__^

I always catch the first 5 or 10 minutes (which I enjoy) and usually have to get out the car just as Mitch Ben is halfway through one of his masterpieces because I have arrived at work.

Need to get onto the podcast thing!

Now that the Tommy Sheridan Summer Show is over, sure, why not.
