Torty Talks from Simon Anthony

Comedy EN ↓ 222 episodes

Started in 2019 using material collected since my birth in 1957. Some people actually play my podcasts - a few have reached double figures ! I'd like to make triple figures on an episode, but to do that I may have to advertise myself a bit - tough job for me A (mostly) comedy podcast, but also a personal view of life in random order. So far I've not posted much of the old stuff, there is a set of 1978 Proms recordings but the rest are monologues, stories and live recordings form my years of year of podcasting. I started acting in 2018.This gets a bit dark in places, especially in March 2020!
