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?

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…

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:

Tune in live to WHAT’S YOUR PLAN B at http://www.shoreditchradio.co.uk every Friday at 12pm!

Podshambles 44: Give Us Frubes

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.

Podshambles 43: 100% Physical Intensity

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.

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,

P&L x
