Brunch With The Brits

This week have we got a treat for you three Forsyte episodes back to back.  Enjoy them.

This week Fleur truly knows she's a snob ... or is she?  Yes just another week or in this case a number of months with your favorite family.

Plus learn where Matt's been these last three weeks.  Enjoy.  Many thanks to John Lingard for heading our way to @nmx for giving us such a good time and enjoy this JForsyte episode.

This week one episode of Forsyte and some final reminders of NAB will you be there?  Get in touch and let us know.  Also be at NMX to hear Matt Cox Fred Castaneda and John Lingard at different times.  Enjoy.

Hey it's Easter.  Ok the reality is the brunch team has been on the road for work purposes and is prepping for the NaAB convention in jjVegas April 12 through 17 if you see myself or PDM or John stop us say hi and get a small reward.  We mean it NMX we've got tea for you.  Tea is while supplies last.  See you in the exhibit hall.

This week we ask a question.  Did Soams get a divorce?  As we journey further in to the early Edwardian period with the Forsytes we also have a Hancock fable of sorts and we learn about bobbies.  Plus stuff's about to change at the bWTB studios enjoy.

First off who is Andre?  You'll learn as we finally dig in to series 2 of Hancock.  The lad is off to help Sid James set up his holiday camp and even though Moira is absent I think you'll like Andrea and Bill as always and of course loveable Tony.  Wondering about the delay in this show?  wWatch facebook and be listening for a special show featuring myself and Producer Director Maria.  Enjoy

If you knew what we've been through and most of you will ... soon you'll understand the delay.  Never mind the projects at work which also have been keeping me busy.  Anyhow enjoy this long expected treat.

This week we hope you will reaally take the time to answer one question.  Do you like Soams Forsyte?  Is he a man to be pittied and hated?  We also have Sceptred Isle as we look at Lord Liverpool and the transition from George III to George IV enjoy.

This week Sceptred Isle returns with the death of george III plus more from your new favorite family.  Remember it's a long sweeping story and you may want a re look at episode 1 last week.  Enjoy.

This week we concentrate on the Forsight's take the time to get to know them and welcome to Season 8

As we close out 2014,  I thought it'd be kind of fun to introduce or re introduce you to my love of early science fiction.  So we look at Verne's Journey To The Center of the Earth.  It's a wonderful story and well dramatized from december 9 of 1995.  Enjoy

However don't let the title fool you as we delve deep in to archives to bring you an exciting version of "A Christmas Carol," with Ralph Richardson as narrator and Scrooge.  It's basically Sir Ralph and a few cast members given some lines and when you listen to mid sixties BBC drama you note the differences.  Gone is the enhanced sound so they used the literature.  Enjoy.  We'll also start the sho...

How many of you have been home for the holidays ... and not told your parents the whole truth about your well being?  This week two selections which explore just that.  We first look at Christmas Decorations a short story and conclude with The Holly And The Ivy starring Stephen Murray from September 11 1971.  Finally the host will talk about his first Christmas home froom college.  You will enjoy...

If you've been a listener to this podcast you know how much we look forward to our yearly chat with audio drama actor radio presenter and now recently retired John Lingard from Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom.  John has read us books presented original programs on the history of British broadcasting and come up with lots of filler and intro matterial for this humble podcast.  So it's a pleasure...

This week we conclude the Cesar trillogy with An Empire Without End.  There is a bit of historicaal liberty taken here but it does add to the story and I think you'll enjoy it.  Please enjoy also as we conclude the Roman Way.  The seasonal interview will be next week.

We'll first look at Romans and how they played then it's back to the cesars.  jEnjoy

I begin this description by writing that when this show first started these were some of the first plays in my collection.  So I'm excited to present series 3 of Caesar.  Go back to ep 25 for series 1 if you'd like.  Anyhow this play discusses Victoria and Postumus of Gaul and the third century crissis Galinus had in defending and keeping control of Rome.  British actors make great Romans.  Enjoy.

In The Polish Soldier a man comes to terms with his vanished childhood while we begin to look agt Britain's first conquerors the Romans.  Please enjoy.

This week you're really going to hear the host explain why he's sick of Disney's Frozen as he invites you to acompany him on a real winter journey.  Plus we'll conclude Fifty Years of Heart and Soul.  Enjoy.

We sadly conclude Dad's Army this week but we also have our look at Mo town and those who are no longer with us and we conclude with The Ghost on the Moor enjoy
