A (so far) regular look at what sort of stuff I’ve been consuming this week.
Podcast: Adam and Joe
I’m not the biggest fan of podcasts. I tend to find even the most popular ones a little too amateur for my tastes. I appreciate the irony of this, and am well aware that my own lacklustre podcasting efforts have been far from professional. But when it comes down to it I’d rather be listening to Radio 4 than some married couple trying to be funny in their basement. However since I won my iPod (I did win it, I did) I’ve been re-experimenting with the genre and I have stumbled across a jem.Â
It would of course be a little unfair to classify the Adam and Joe podcast as amateur. Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish are both professional comedians and their podcast is made up from clips from their XFM radio show. Saying this however the podcast does have a wonderful ramshackle quality to it; Adam and Joe are childhood friends and this shows through in their free flowing easy delivery and banter.
The pair were cult TV comedy gods during the late nineties with The Adam and Joe Show (you can find clips on YouTube). While they haven’t exactly disappeared off the radar (both were in Hot Fuzz for example), it’s been a little more difficult to get a regular dose of them of late. The XFM podcasts unfortunately seem to have dried up towards the end of 2006, but they are currently are doing a showcase for new UK music for Coca-cola. The XFM stuff is just sparkling and the coca-cola is pretty nifty too. Take a look.

Rich got me onto these and comedy genius it is too. Have you heard the one about R Kelly’s R&B soap opera yet? It’s just fabulous. He also has the DVD of the Adam and joe show too which currently is residing here waiting for me to convince Bex to watch it…

I’ve been listening to Adam and Joe’s podcast for the last two days now, and they’re great. Thanks for bringing them to my attention Dan.
