Cast! The Herald Angels Sing – Glory To The Shamble King(s). After all – it came uPOD a midnight clear (that one was tough but hey it’s Christmas so…fine).
Once again, as is tradition, it is CHRISTMAS. Thus we bring you a very special festive Podshambles LIVE from a pub. Recorded in Oxford in between Laurie’s rampant shopping and Paddy’s maniacal gigging, we present to you a conversation between two best friends in a pub at Christmas. Paddy confuses fishermen with carpenters for ages, Laurie explains the difference between ‘cooking’ and ‘burning’, and we introduce our brand new holiday which may or may not be entirely based on the mythology of Joan Cusack (praise be unto her).
Wrap your Christingles, drug Gran’s sherry, and relentlessly feed each other pudding – it’s Podshambles 48.
We welcome the inimitable Joseph Lawrenson, keyboard-wizard supremo and in possession of a lovely face, into the Shoreditch Radio studio to chat his big alternate plans to run cycle tours in Europe and maybe run some deliveroo action on the side. Sounds pretty great, right?
Hear some cracking tracks from Car Seat Headrest, Father John Misty and the Guillemots and choice anecdotes from Laurie’s university days on this week’s WHAT’S YOUR PLAN B.

Podshambles 47: The Small Council is now OUT! Here’s what to expect:
The Shamblexam results are back from the Poderators. Congratulations – you Cast. Now you can finally follow your dreams and become a qualified cannon instructor.
What happens in this episode? WELL LET ME TELL YOU. Laurie manages to read Glamour magazine for a surprisingly long time, Paddy is faced with his last day on Earth, Laurie then considers moving to Berlin and Paddy decides that most of his important memories are just about Babe: Pig In The City. Also featuring a guest appearance from everyone’s favourite miniature government – The Small Council.
Pour yourself a Guinness, then poison it, then give it Awful Peter – it’s Podshambles 47.

Podshambles 46: Weasel Wiggle is now OUT! Here’s what to expect:
Pod guys always finish Cast in the Shamblerace of Life. From now until the end of days – we accept our fate.
This time in glorified audio-mess world: Paddy recalls the true meaning of Bonfire Night, Laurie is awkward at parties and the pair of hapless dreamers discuss who will win the dystopian future tech war. Will it be Frenguins? Or will it be BroBots? You decide (you don’t get to decide).
Pry open your coffins, set fire to the rain and snuggle into your nests – it’s Podshambles 46.
Podshambles 45: A Stitch In Time Will Kill You is now OUT! Here’s what to expect:
Mind your Shamblepockets, as the Castful Podger is on the loose and oh boy does he loves rifling. Yes, it’s an Oliver reference. Deal with it, world.
Paddy makes a life-changing discovery based on a certain American Hip-Hop artist, Laurie delves into the brand new works of a certain Little Wychwell based author, and the bingbongbuddies get a little misty eyed when talking about death. Oh and there’s a gooseboat.
Poach those eggs, pearl that wisdom and run into oncoming traffic – It’s Podshambles 45.
It’s WICKED WANGO WEEK on WYPB this week, as Paddy lives his Jeremy Paxman sex-dreams and turns interviewer for Laurie! Hear about the writer, journalist and part-time radio host’s original plans to have been a doctor, a musical upbringing that relied on denying Radiohead for years and see whether we score another notch on the Plan C bedpost!
BONUS: Several stories from P&L’s school days, you lucky things.
Who knew that we’d still have a show on a legitimate radio station after all this time? Shoreditch Radio still have time for us and our show, WHAT’S YOUR PLAN B, every Friday and the guests keep on coming. We’ve also just moved to some very fancy new studios in Stratford, so hold onto your butts for slick, flawless radio…
He tells us about his plan B, to be some sort of max level chef-wizard with extra points in VEGETABLE ALCHEMY, plays some big tunes and weighs up being Childish Gambino’s tour manager. Press play below or click here to listen!
Podshambles 44: Give Us Frubes is now OUT! Here’s what to expect:
Arrest those men and place them in Podtective Castody THIS INSTANT.
The two Shamblurais are back this week with a bag full of home cooked goodies. Laurie finally gets to meet Ponyo (the lasagne blacksmith) in Choose Your Own Adventure, Paddy pitches his genetic pug/duck splice, and who would have guessed we’d end up arguing over the value of making aeroplane noises whilst running.
Shuffle awkwardly, shimmy alluringly and waggle like there’s no need for waggling – it’s Podshambles 44.
Oh, my Poddarlings, what if I told you that not only could you listen to our wonderful podcast but that our likenesses were available via a MODERN AND EXCITING VIDEO FORMAT, too? You would bluster in disbelief, surely? Spit out your cherry cola with surprise? Shit yourself?
Well hold onto that belief, cola and spincter, dear Shamblet, for I’m about to rock your world: we are on YOUTUBE and have several exciting new videos to share with you.
First up: we’ve made a foray into tiny, unknown independent hit, Minecraft, which is definitely not already played, recorded and watched by millions already. We have, though, picked up a new and very hard game mode called Captive Minecraft, where you play within a very small boundary that extends only by unlocking the game’s achievements. It sounds weird but makes total sense when you see it in the flesh.
WHICH YOU CAN RIGHT NOW! Check in here with episode one, where we try and make our tiny impact on the fucked up, square-based version of the world:
Next: you may have already seen our series of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, the Wii U re-release of the stunning GameCube/Wii title and, in Podshambles LTD’s strictly professional opinion, one of the finer entries in the Zelda mythos. It’s dark and spooky and you can play as a wolf and honestly we’re totally over Linkin Park mum so stop going on at us GOD.
We’re up to episode five of this particularly romp through Hyrule – where we’ve JUST got hold of a sword and shield – so if you’re in the market for a speedy playthrough then, my fine feathered friend, you are drinking from the wrong toilet bowl. If you like hapless adventuring, fun with waterfowl and two gormless idiots in control of it all then TUNE IN.
A FRIENDLY REMINDER: You can see all our new videos AS THEY COME by subscribing to our little smut factory on YouTube! Point your browsers to “This is a Shambles” or click thyself on these very words to find it.
Podshambles 43: 100% Physical Intensity is now OUT! Here’s what to expect:
Let’s step up to the Podium and broadCast this mess, eh?
The Shambled-Eggs (Paddy & Laurie // egg friends 4 life) bring you this special bulletin (episode 43) and phwowsers it’s a dingaling. In this instalment: Laurie weighs up whether or not goats are our new best friends, Paddy eats six fabs and is continually surprised by horses, and the two cherubic wangers face off against Harkson, Mammond & Clay – three men who are definitely not based on the former cast of Top Gear.
Throw caution to the wind, flail wildly and die inside – it’s Podshambles 43.
