RADIO: On yer bike with Joseph Lawrenson

Joe Lawrenson and Laurie Havelock

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.

RADIO – Getting bluesy and talky with David Robinson

After a few weeks of music-only shows we’re happy to have a guest back in the Shoreditch Radio studios, and it’s only David Robinson, musician supreme, who’s keeping us company this time!

Dave talks about his plan B – hosting his own chat show – and the unlikely series of events that landed him at that answer. He’s also got a few tips for Paddy and Laurie to take on board with their presenting…

RADIO – Building Boogie Bridges with Benjamin Bridger

Benjamin Bridger

Paddy went to Edinburgh for this edition of What’s Your Plan B? so we flew in a special comedian guest – it’s Benjamin Bridger, stand-up and fellow Shoreditch Radio presenter! Join us as we chat about his plan B (which is to wander the earth and start afresh in a new, exotic location) and touch on some hip-hop greats, the magic of magicians and why Mr Tumble IS NOT OK. Ben really wanted me to stress that point.

Paddy and Laurie also did a music special show about artists that maybe should have had a Plan B – aka died or stopped making music WAY too early . You can listen below or right here:

RADIO – Zac Cole’s Culinary Crusade

Hair bear bunch

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…

This week’s guest is beloved all-time Shamblefriend Zac Cole, who you may remember wrote a few posts for us on music last year and has appeared on several podcasts.

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!

Don’t forget you can join us LIVE every Friday on http://www.shoreditchradio.co.uk at 12PM for the latest episode, or find the whole archive on Mixcloud.

What’s happening in the next month

Every now and then we like to update you, kind listeners and watchers, on the current status of our Shambleplans. When you’re lucky. And we remember too.

As it happens we’ve got some pretty damn exciting ideas scurrying around our Podbrains for the month of August, and luckily – for you – we remembered that we should tell you about them. So:

The first vital part of our upcoming Shamblemachinations is that Paddy is away for August. The fucker. But don’t worry! You can find him in Edinburgh performing as Jonny and the Baptists his latest rag-time Vaudeville showcase EAT THE POOR almost every day, if you’re there. I saw the previews in London this week and it’s properly excellent – a look at the growing divide in wealth and social strata in our world that made me have a proper think afterwards. Oh, and it’s hilarious in the meantime. You can buy tickets right here if you’d like.

Don’t be upset, though! Stop that wailing and gnashing of teeth, for goodness sake! We’ve got loads of treats for you!

Part two of the plan is that we have TWO PODCASTS READY TO GO KLAXON! Episode 43 will drop at the beginning of next week, while episode 44 is already in the can. We’ll also be recording episode 45 remotely while Paddy’s entertaining the pictish hordes, so that’ll follow soon after. Make sure you are subscribed on iTunes here and keeping your peepers peeled on Acast here to get the new episodes as soon as they’re released.

Part three of our butt-shatteringly brilliant strategy is to unleash some MORE YOUTUBE VIDEOS on your unsuspecting asses right away! First, we’ll be continuing our Twilight Princess playthrough and seeing throug the quest of fair young Dweebles to it’s natural conclusion (loads of rupees, elementally-themed temples and a final boss battle almost certainly with Ganon). We’ll also be starting a NEW SERIES set in Minecraft – yes, that brand new smash hit game Minecraft that people definitely haven’t been playing for the past 10 years. Those will both be up over the next few days – point your browsers at our YouTube channel THIS IS A SHAMBLES right now and SUBSCRIBE to get the latest updates.

Phew. I need a sit down. And a quick waterfowl break. There’s just TOO MUCH CRACKING STUFF.

Here’s the plan again, quickly, in case you forgot:

  1. See Paddy’s show EAT THE POOR
  2. Wildly anticipate not 1, not 4, not 17 but 3 WHOLE PODCAST EPISODES coming soon
  3. Bloody hell mate you want more stuff well why not WAIT FOR SOME NEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS including some MINECRAFT

Have an excellent August and we’ll see you soon.

Love, butts and monkeys,

RADIO – Kate Quinn’s Crazy Quest

Those crazy WYPBoys (WYPBros? WYPBrethren?) are on the road to ruin again, but steered true and away from fire by KATE QUINN, actor and star of stage and screen! Kate is, of course, an old friend, confidante and part-time sous-chef of ours, appearing first waaaaay back in Podshambles 10 (listen here!)

She reveals to us her plan B which is to be in Casualty…except actually in it. With Charlie and the crew. Will she choose her real life, her plan B or – perhaps – her plan C, which sees her taking on cake-related superpowers?

RADIO – A plan B for Rob Sell

The beats keep groovin’ over at Shoreditch Radio – and, more importantly, they’re still letting us idiots hang around and interview people. Laurie and Paddifer are joined by musician (and maybe magician) Rob Sell, better known as part of SLKY and collaborator with Rudimental and China Moses. He reveals how his plan B would be…to customise motorbikes! Wowee! Whizzo! Zoom! And other fast noises.

RADIO – Emily Beeson and her Plan B

We’re still doing our weekly show on Shoreditch Radio – if you want to tune in, it’s called WHAT’S YOUR PLAN B and goes out every Friday at 12pm at http://www.shoreditchradio.co.uk – and recently welcomed Emily of Beeson onto the show!

As Paddy’s once again lost to scurrying around the country on his tour, Laurie chats to Ms Beeson – blogger, writer and one-time flatmate of aforementioned host – about her number one back-up plan: a life of performing. Join us as we talk performance of Jar-Jar Binks meets Queen Victoria, Disney’s Robin Hood and the practicalities of maintaining a dogsled team.

RADIO – Stewart Pringle, What’s Your Plan B?

We’re finally catching up with some of our previous broadcasts on Shoreditch Radio – this week we take you back to when we welcomed artistic director and theatre critic Stewart Pringle, the lucky sod, who told us about his life-long passion of…building stairs. Outside.

Look, if you’ve got a problem with stairs you can take it up with Stew. Podshambles Inc. neither confirms nor denies an outright hatred for steps, stairs and escalators. We have no association with the Geneva Elevator League or any other pro-pulley movements.

Anyway, listen below to hear our chat with Stewart, else tune in live at http://www.shoreditchradio.co.uk every Friday at 12pm to hear more!
