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 – Calling Dr Havelock to see Nurse Paddy

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.

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.

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.

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!
