Podshambles

Podshambles is the comedy stylings of Paddy Gervers (Jonny & The Baptists) and Laurie Havelock (once met Brian Blessed). They are two best friends who know far too much about each other. Each episode, marvel as they stagger and ramble through video games, comic books and any other fragments of geek culture that wander through their synchronised brains. No conversational cul-de-sac is left unplundered, whether it's Game of Thrones (or Goats), their many run-ins with geese, or just a load of egg puns. There's even a regular check in with Choose Your Own Adventure with Flagon the Dwarf, a not at all Dungeons and Dragons-esque romp through somewhere quite like a pound-shop Middle Earth. Expect an hour-long podcast that will make you laugh. I promise. Swearsies. BFFs 4LYF.

Podshambles 8: I Have Many Keys

The sun rises on the broken bodies of the Shamblers-of-Fortune and they realise they have survived. The war is over and everything is back to normal (note: the war will not be mentioned). Paddy reveals the explosive conclusion of "101 Things to do with an Egg and a Piece of Paper", Laurie steadies himself for his first ever underground train-dungeon and the Postal Salmon becomes (for some reason) a recurring character.

Podshambles 3: A New Boat

It is quiz o'clock in Podshambala, so we get very wordy, Laurie voices his anarchist tendencies and Paddy finally finds out which medieval weapon he is.
