Podshambles 49: Snake People

The Podgy little Shameblepigs have created a Casterpiece in the form of a Podcast (or so our sources say). Prepare your butts (/ears).

THIS TIME: Paddy gets real about the application of baboons in animal warfare, Laurie gets super real about the fallibility of human memory, and a conversation about whether or not one quarter of the population are in fact Snake People gets way, way too real.

Viva your La Vidas, stop Holla-ing back girl, and for once in your life Dream a Little Dream of Me – it’s Podshambles 49.

RADIO – Laurie’s Christmas Party

Christmas Party

While Paddy’s away (doing a play up in Oxford) it’s Laurie’s turn to play…some Christmas bangers. Join half of the WYPB? team for a quick Christmas party, where we play some Mulled Mellows, Chrimble Crackers and even some Tinsel Tunes.

Featuring music from Shakin’ Stevens, Feist and Los Campesinos!

Laurie’s full Christmas playlist is available on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/user/lhavelock/playlist/29Cei4ZLt8iKHs3ig695wc

Podshambles 48: Christmas in a Pub

Episode 48 - christmas in the pub

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 HOPE YULE-IKE IT. YOU LIKE IT. YULE. GET IT.

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?

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…

Podshambles 46: Weasel Wiggle

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

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.

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.

Listen below or at mixcloud on this handy URL: https://www.mixcloud.com/WhatsYourPlanB/benjamin-bridger-whats-your-plan-b/

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.
