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!

The wonder of Safron ! ( a covid / cancer ish thing ) 04.08.2020

OK, it's not been long yet, less than 24 hours, but, I'm feeling better from a mass of debilitating symptoms that may be covid or cancer related- or may be something else.

The Swab Test 09.06.2020

Well, my wife hasn't got it, so may be I got something else. This is the story of why we may have made a mess of the test for Covid ! Slightly funny if you can stand an idiot at 6 am with a dead brain. My test result is back now too - after three months - I 'didn't have Covid when the test was made'. That tells us nothing except that there was indeed no point in taking it - as I said... I think. B...

The birds are talking to each other, you can hear conversations,...
