The Ricky Gervais Show
If you draw a blank when you hear the word podcast you can safely ignore this post.
With the arrival of the iPod shuffle in our household (a christmas present) I was looking for bytes that I can feed the little machine with. Browsing through Apple’s podcast-directory (and other places) I was very happy to find the Ricky Gervais Show on Guardian Unlimited. I loved the original BBC series The Office and I still watch the episodes every once in a while. There is something about Ricky Gervais (and the other characters) that I find pee-in-yer-pants funny.
When I walk the dogs in the morning I usually take the iPod with me and listen to anything that synced to the player. I listened to all five episodes of the Ricky Gervais Show and I find myself giggling like a mad man while I’m walking through the deserted arroyos of the Tesuque neighbourhood.
Ricky, Steve and Karl talk about everything and nothing at the same time. It’s hard to describe what’s going on, but it does involve monkeys, cavemen, midget fighting associations and other hot topics. If you have a few MBs available on your portable player, invite the three of them over … you won’t regret it. Or you’ll regret it within the first minute of listening to them, but then you didn’t waste a lot of time with them.
Great find - just subscribed and listened to “Episode 5″ on the way to work today.
