Howzat? 4.4 / 6 The past, it was nuts, wasn’t it? Well… if this episode of the jovial ‘Oh What A Time’ is anything to go by, then yes. It was more off its rocker than Gwyneth Paltrow on fortified cider. Chris, Ellis, and Tom chat about feasts of yesteryear, and in particular, the outrageous

Howzat? 4.2 / 6 There was a danger here that this podcast, in the hands of shiny-mega-commercial-radio-company Global, would be produced within an inch of its life, sucking all the glorious comedy freestyling from a trio of Scottish comedians so blasé, they make Snoop Dog (Snoop Lion?) look like accountants on the verge of a

Hey! You! What’s eeeuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppp? Here it is, this week’s Friday Slips. Take them or leave them but please don’t ignore them… Comfort Eating with Grace Dent – “Allan Mustafa, actor and comedian” Howzat? 3.2 / 6 Grace Dent is a personality and, boy, don’t we know it. She presents as she walks: quaint, dainty, breathy

Howzat? 3.8 / 6 Let’s be honest, if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re primarily listening for Russell Howard’s wry comedic take on the world. And, indeed, within the first minute of this episode, Howard and his guest – fellow British comedian and football enthusiast Maisie Adam – start joking about how children running in

Howzat? 4.0 / 6 Back in 2010, when the Internet wasn’t full of fake news and skinny jeans were all the rage* podcasting was in its nascent stage. And at that time, one of the biggest comedy chat shows was The Collings and Herrin Podcast (pause for dramatic gasps). The show itself sounded

Howzat? 2.7 / 6 Rachel Parris and Marcus Brigstocke are no strangers to irreverent comedy panel shows. All you have to do is tune into BBC Radio 4 on any given day and there’s a high percentage that you’ll hear either one of them chim up with a heavily scripted quip, only for them to

Howzat? 0.4 / 6 TL:DR = TL:DL So here we are then: the vanguard of podcasting, a medium which has swept boldly into the mainstream, opening the creative doors for the masses to show off their creative genius, democratising media for the greater good of mankind. But what’s this? Yet another comedy chat show with

We’ve bowled a beaut, these podcasts have nicked one and we’ve caught an absolute wonder in the slips… Great Company – “Shania Twain: Saving My Family at Thirteen” Howzat? 1.7 / 6 Let’s be honest, Jamie Laing presents the same podcast but across several different podcasts. He’s absolutely everywhere. Please, for the LOVE OF GOD,

Howzat? 5.0 / 6 Let’s face it, most people listen to a podcast because of the presenter. Yes, “the content” matters, of course it does, but the intimacy of the listening experience means that if the person talking in your ear doesn’t butter your biscuit, it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to choose to make

Howzat? 4.8 / 6 For those of you who loved listening to ‘Quickly Kevin, Will He Score?’ there is hope here that this new show, which graduates from following soccer fandom in the 1990s to the 2000s, will live up to expectations and fill a hole now that comedian Josh Widdicombe has
