Are there any podcasts you listen to?

I know the bloke who came up with the term "podcast", year above me at school

Melvyn's a legend.

Melvyn's a legend.

here's one for me & @IdleRich



Melvyn Bragg - South Bank Show - Simon Raven

( for those who don't know, Simon Raven was one of the finest 20th century novelists )

edit: I only became aware of Simon Raven due to @IdleRich but I am forever indebted for the recommendation, the Alms For Oblivion cycle is up there with the best that Britain can offer when it comes to literature, a perfect amalgamation of sleaze and upper class snobbery

"Mogg was the chap who started the rumour that masturbation causes syphillis, deliberately, po-faced"

^ Raven reminisces about Jacob's daddy

Melvyn is trying really hard not to laugh during portions of his interview with the old goat, especially when Raven chats about "mutual masturbation, white thighs, huge legs"

 

[IdleRich]

It is brilliant and I'm truly glad that you read it and enjoyed it as much as I did and, it seems, got from it exactly the same as I did. For something

I’ll get on that - currently on a re-read of Alms for Oblivion.

Joey Diaz is hanging up his hat

Yes he is/was a cliche, foul-mouthed, dirty, possible mythomaniac but out of all the pseudo comedy which has spewed out of the realms JD touched on and its fuckhead stand-up narcissists, his story telling was pure east coast seasoning. Finding your mother dead while tripping? Addicted to everything including xanax, yet conversely some of the rarest and more unique takes on life inside the great American nightmare

 

[luka]

I don't know any good ones.

 

[Corpsey]

im famous you cunts look at me look at me!

he's at 14:30 in

 

[Corpsey]

sounds like he's off his head tbh

 

[Corpsey]

very astute on the fragmentation of time

 

[luka]

sounds very lucid and articulate in my opinion

 

[luka]

very sounds nice too. very charming. what a lovely man.

 

[Corpsey]

its weird how warm and friendly you sound considering what a cold calculating cunt you are on here

 

[Corpsey]

an evil man who exclusively hangs out with anti semites

 

[Corpsey]

jokes aside you do have a nice voice, and with a strong dose of authenticity in it

unlike mine which is a nasal nightmare
