Stephen Fry’s Podgrams
A new podcast by British actor and comedian Stephen Fry has so far covered everything from banter about his broken arm to in-depth quotes and analysis from Oscar Wilde about wallpaper and the American psyche. It’s a truly brilliant podcast and I hope he continues the series.
The Bugle
The Bugle is published by The Times Online and features funny men John Oliver (from The Daily Show) and Andy Zaltzman. I listened to it for the first time today during a Mother’s Day roadtrip. It was so funny, it almost became dangerous for driving. If you generally like British humor (who doesn’t?!) and you enjoy John Oliver on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, give this podcast a listen. Note that the topics covered and language used isn’t necessarily safe for work or young children.
