  • Interesting podcast, but honestly, if the audio quality of an episode is poor because it's recorded over a phone connection, ask yourselves if it wouldn't be better to wait until you can make a better quality recording!

  • Please

    Fewer stand-up comedians.

    I get that they may be easy-pickings, but they can be a little dull, generally.

    I invariably listen to this podcast when driving on a long journey. Michael is joined by guests, some are old friends, some are in the news and on one of my favourite episodes it was his grandchild. The chat is effortless and meanders beautifully and Michael and his guest will share anecdotes and stories of their lives and careers. A wonderful listen.

Ep. 508 - Lost Voice Guy AKA Lee Ridley
Q: What's the fourth thing you'd like to preserve in The Time Capsule along with it?
I'm cheekily putting my collection of gig tickets in The Time Capsule, as they've been significant memories for me.
Ep. 508 - Lost Voice Guy AKA Lee Ridley
Q: Is that the wrong attitude to call you brave?
I hate it when people call me brave; I started comedy to make people laugh, not to be an inspiration.
Ep. 508 - Lost Voice Guy AKA Lee Ridley
Q: Would you like to develop something with The League of Gentlemen, say like a horror project?
I'd absolutely love to develop a horror project with The League of Gentlemen, even though my cerebral palsy makes me jumpy.
Ep. 508 - Lost Voice Guy AKA Lee Ridley
Q: Do you think that you were influenced by their wonderful dark humor, or has that always been an element of your comedy?
I was 100 percent influenced by their dark humor, but I always had a twisted streak lurking beneath the surface.
Ep. 508 - Lost Voice Guy AKA Lee Ridley
Q: What made you think that this might bloody work?
I knew I had to give it a go without a big master plan, and I figured if I wanted to do comedy, I had to do it like this, even if people didn't like it.
