Words Fail Me Podcast 20 - August 2011


We are back with our second podcast of the summer, We spread our recording equipment on a grassy bank of the River Exe and discuss the words on the page of our dictionary chosen by our special guest dictionary opener, Martyn Joseph.

You may know Martyn from his 90's hit Dolphins Make Me Cry, but there is a lot more to him than this, Dave chats to him about being passionate on stage, playing with a band and Tony Blair.

Find out more about Martyn Joseph, and where you can see him on his website - http://www.martynjoseph.net/

In this podcast we also discuss various musical terms, what will become of Coldplay and U2, melodrama and mementos. Biscuits are also eaten.

We are back! Dave and Neil are visiting the Victoria & Albert museum in London this month, with special guest dictionary opener Dave Pegg.

Dave Pegg

The 'Daves' talk about Fairport Convention, making music with computers, needing the toilet at gigs and Bob Dylan.

Neil and Dave then discuss the words on the page of the dictionary that Dave Pegg randomly chose, and what an interesting page it turns out to be! Inappropriate topics for conversation include menstruation, the menopause and other embarrassing topics for two men to talk about in the refined surrounding of a museum courtyard!

Dave also has some news about our application for the Sony Awards, as well as an update on our New Year challenges (which Dave barely remembers setting!)

Download or listen at Podbean, or search for "Words Fail Me Podcast" on itunes.

Words Fail Me Podcast 1 - Jan 2010

We are finally there. the first Words Fail Me podcast has been recorded and thrown together and is now available for your downloading pleasure!

Each month we read a page of the dictionary (this time we are lost in the middle of "M") and see what ramblings come from our mouths.

In this first episode Dave reveals he has plans grander than Neil could ever imagine, leading to a surprise celebrity appearance, we extol the virtues of the squarial, the risks of photographing yourself on Abbey Road, we show our mathematical ignorance and both make ill advised attempts at singing.

Podcast available through Podbean (http://wordsfailme.podbean.com/2010/01/25/words-fail-me-1-jan-2010/), on the Podbean Page just right click the "Audio MP3" button and "save as" to download.
