The Timewaster PhonecallsI've been doing lots of silly phone calls. You can hear them all here. Just scroll down for more...

Another one of my misguided phone calls that doesn’t really go anywhere, but still…

Shelves

Several years ago I called talk radio station, LBC, with a problem I’d been having with my shelves…

Seriously. I have been trying for over a year to talk live to Archbishop Gilbert Deya on my favourite crazy channel, Deya Broadcasting Network (DBN). And not only did I talk to him, I sang to him.

Don’t know why my grandfather voice was the same as my Margaret Thatcher one, but ho hum…

OK, the other day I posted a silly phone call I made with the very silly Tim Heidecker (’We Share a Brain‘). Well, here’s another one we did that night.

So, are you ready for maximum infantilism…?

If you missed my US Robin Cooper podcasts, here’s the [...]
