Funny Independent Podcast
It's been a awhile since I've found a little gem of an independent podcast like this. I hope they last for many shows. The sound quality is surprisingly good for what sounds like a one microphone set up recording two people. A slight bit of empty room sound but very listenable even in a car. The show has a regular weekly schedule and a defined format. The music tells me they are making it in Garage Band, it works fine.
My favorite part of the show is the back and forth with Alex and Rob, there is friendship and familiarity there. This and also the absurdist leaning humor that is like my own. There was this one story about a door to door chainsaw salesman that had be laughing dangerously hard while I was using machinery.
British humour at its best!
I love British humour and this podcast is getting funnier and funnier with every episode. Have listened to each episode 2 or 3 times and it only gets better each time. A real find!!!!
