Big Red's Fun Bus - A Comedy Sketch Podcast

[Trumpy's Magic Snout]

Hey all,

Just posting to let you know that boredom has finally swallowed me whole and I decided to tackle it by farting about with a podcast.

It's basically a bunch of comic sketches and rants called Big Red's Fun Bus (there's a blast from the past for any nostalgia freaks).

I've finished the first episode and it plays like a first episode, a bit rough but it'll do. It was created with a £15 Logitech USB microphone and Audacity so it's to be expected.

I'm thinking about putting one out every month, although depending on how much writing I do it could be shorter or longer time periods depending.

Anyway you can check it out here on the Blogger page I set up for it:

There are options there to allow you to subscribe to the blog using RSS readers. I'll probably start posting videos and writing stuff on it as well at some point.

Give it a listen and let me know what you think. All feedback, positive or negative, is welcome as I don't know if it's any good! And if that doesn't sound like a vote of confidence then I don't know what does!

Cheers

Oooh your podcast might just have the power to make Court all tingly.

I lurk here so not entirely sure what you mean! Ha!

Oh, loving the Postman Pat by the way!

[Tripe]

Well here's the most recent manifestation of it.

Nice stuff on the podcast.

Ah right, it's amazing how this accent is well loved by anyone not Scottish! Ha! Maybe it's because our exports to Hollywood have consisted of Sean Connery, Gerard Butler and Ewan McGregor, sadly the reality is a bit more like this:

I will tell you this boy, I will tell you this, Rab would be great on the big screen.

[Trumpy's Magic Snout]

You know Rab? Excellent! They made a Christmas special in December there. It was great to have him back!

[Tripe]

Episode 4 - Pigs In Blankets

It's the worst disease to afflict mankind since the Millennium Bug and SARS teamed up to become an almighty force for evil. That's right, Swine Flu. Scourge of all that is holy.

That or another Avian Flu.

Anyhoo that means an impromptu Swine Flu special of Big Red's Fun Bus written and recorded in one day.

Episode 5 of Big Red's Fun Bus has been a long time in the making.

Actually that's a lie because I've just started making it. I'll try and make sure it doesn't become a long time in the making as of now though.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next episode of Paisley's Premier Pile of Poo sketch show (not a tag that I think will catch on!) coming soon.
