TGB 30\Gig 24b: Dr Brian Sox on BBC Radio Leeds – 2nd January 2012

January 4, 2012 Leave a Comment

What better way to usher in the New Year than another strange quiz on the radio?  Well, I’m sure you could think of a better way, but I can’t.

I didn’t have much notice prior to this radio appearance, and I was back at work the next day, so it took all my might to create “hilarious” comedy character Dr Brian Sox (senior lecturer in quizzes at the prestigious Torben Piechnik Institute).  As always, the show was hosted by the wonderful Vic McGlynn and this time we produced perhaps the oddest segment ever.  So much so, that one listener text in to say how bad it was.  How proud I was.

Anyway, have a listen for yourself and find out just how awful radio quizzes can be.

The Gravy Boat 25: No Surrender

June 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

This episode of the podcast is one man’s (mine) retaliation against an indifferent internet. Feel my wrath, losers.

P.s.

Basically, it’s just me waffling on again. This will continue until somebody does a podcast with me. You’ve been warned.

Still Struggling

March 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

I’m still struggling to think of anything to write about.  After the amazing success of Bears, Romcoms and Cats 2, I thought I’d repeat the same trick and see what I was blogging about exactly a year ago.

What I was blogging about a year ago today was The Gravy Boat – Episode 11.  Yeah, that’s right, it was another fantastic episode of my wonderful podcast.  Having been recorded a full 365 days hence, I can’t really remember what I waffled on about in it.  However, the related post says that I covered these topics:

 

  • An apology
  • A failed attempt at being a local radio DJ
  • The return of the Portuguese waiter
  • Another attempt at observational comedy

    •  

    I’ve no idea what I was apologising for.  I hope it wasn’t some kind of serious crime.  That would be terrible.  The other bits I have vague recollections of.   The Portuguese waiter is a tremendous voice that I need to do more often.  Go and have a listen and I’m sure you’ll agree.

    I could go back and listen and tell you what was going on for sure, but I’ve never listened to any of my podcasts.  I just can’t bear the sound of my own voice.  I know I’m not the only person who suffers from this affliction, but it’s kind of a hindrance when you’re doing a podcast.  If anyone fancies listening to the episode and posting a comment as to what it was all about, then that would be super.  Just follow the link above and fill your (ear) boots.

    Should you wish to listen to more of The Gravy Boat, and why wouldn’t you, then why not try the links below?  Thanks ever so much in advance.

    Another week, another superb episode of The Gravy Boat. It’s like the aural equivalent of a cornflake cake.

Yeah, baby.
