Much as I'd like to try the impossible and refine you, I'm afraid that my spoken voice* is so monotonically dull that it's unbroadcastable (that's prounounced unbroadca'r'stable BTW) except as a cure for insomnia.

* As opposed to the one in my head, which sounds like that butch guy they use to do film trailers.

Damn, the stain that is my accent shall continue to pervade.

I'M BACK TALK TO ME

Ne'ermind, let's just call it a quaint throwback and learn to live with it.

I remember joining a Teh Counterstrike session, saying "hello everybody" and somebody replying "fuck me, you're posh."

 

Anyway, I propose accents and pronunciation as a topic for the test show.

I rather suspect that what they actually said was "fookmi yor posh"

Dude, what happened? Why the bee in a bonnet about accents? Were you bullied by Northerners at school?

:'D

I would like to offer my northern accent should it be required.

 

(Cassle, Rasscle, Garridge, Breakfast Dinner and Tea, etc).

... Byker Grove.

yeah.. Ffs. We're making the pilot this wednesday. Who's in?

As a gentleman who both used to livein Bath AND has frequent baths, I can assure you that you are wrong.

 

Any attempt at retaliation will be interpreted as racism against the people of Bath.

I'm up for it if you wish to add a dash of Last of the Summer Alzheimer's to the mix.

Good, what can be the subjects?

I predict Manthorp's ramblings will engender a following like Wogan's morning show.

As an aviation nerd, I like the format of the Airplane Geeks podcast, a weekly podcast about the world of aircraft and stuff.

They start off with a brief inrto, then the news (a la Top Gear I suppose), then they have a guest, some "this week in aviation" historical stuff, then they cut to the Australia desk (the main show is set in the US) after some fans contacted them and said they'd like to cover QANTAS and suchlike. Finally it's an outro, some cool closing music, then a blooper reel.

Each week these guys (four hosts in the US and two on the Aussie desk) put out a 90 minute show. It's quite impressive logistically, and usually very interesting... if you're into that sort of thing.

Like an unholy cross between Russell Brand and Wogan, with a touch of Joss Ackland. Rogan Josh.
