Don't miss an episode!
A perfect blend of personal journal and story driven segments on each show. Toppie makes his characters come alive with great voices, brilliant editing and an amazing imagination. Anyone who thinks podcasting is an art needs to hear the brilliance and fun of this show. Toppie, and his crew, win your heart while making you ROFL. I am so thankful I found this man's brilliance!
What can I say about The Smellcast? It has a bit of everything - it can be funny, sad, personal, amusing, surprising, hilarious, thought-provoking, shocking, titivating, titilating - not to mention great company. I first heard Toppie guesting on another show that I listen to - and his interest in cult tv lead me to begin listening to The Smellcast and another of my favourites, LOTSL which he is also a regular on. The Smellcast is so different from week to week - you never know what you'll find -... more
this is probably my favorite podcast. toppy writes wonderful stories full of great characters, and the fact that he plays all, or almost all of them, is amazing. but sometimes he just chats about his life, or talks with friends, or just records his day out. always interesting and different, if i had three thumbs i'd give it three thumbs up. definately a must listen
