New Alan Partridge Podcast & This Time S2 Coming

[solidified gruel merchant]

This sounds great, thanks for that.

[solidified gruel merchant]

Is it an impingement of the rotator cuff?
Might be.
But I ain't gonna tell you, boy!

[ImmaculateClump]

Thank you very much for sharing! That works much better as a taster for the show in general than the outside episode they shared.
"Is there a sissy hotline?" :D Looking forward to this.

Cheers! What a find.

[Toxteth OGrady]

Thanks for that, the ending was fantastic

[Non Stop Dancer]

Fucking brilliant. Can't wait for this.

[QDRPHNC]

I tried my best to not listen to it, but I couldn't resist. Very strong, I'm very excited to get the full series.

Loved the sudden swerve into a youth-oriented update. "He's not a confident lad, but his mum will be there."

[markburgle]

Best AGP in ages. So he's off North Norfolk Digital now?

[spaghetamine]

"He's not a confident lad, but his mum will be there."

thought that was very sweet, excited for this

[Kryton]

The intro is fucking brill too. Do we reckon Alan will get some kind of consequence for his phone call?

[DrGreggles]

That clip is terrific.

How has

I can't remember the exact quote but I loved the bit where it mentions someone spotting Alan in the swimming baths and he was doing widths.  What a fantastically understated insult.

As is seeing him in Asda and Argos.

Damaging his brand.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

GET IN LANE

Yes! Laughed more in that 10 minutes than the rambling episode released.

[Pancake]

"Maim my brand"

Don't know if any of this is new but saw it earlier.

Quote from Partridge and a clip. Didnt listen to the clip since I'm waiting for it to be released.

Like most people, I assumed those who hosted podcasts were pale, tech-obsessed social lepers who live with their mums and couldn't get a platform on any meaningful broadcaster so started spouting their bloated opinions into their USB microphones to flatter their groaning sense of self-importance.

"But then I spoke to a man I'd never heard of before from Audible. HE called ME and made me an offer. I countered. He came back. I countered again. In short, we hammered out the details (to my satisfaction) and the result is a series of podcasts. They've been described as very good/sensational."

Yeh that's a new clip.. nice one!

[quinlad]

Another clip here.

That idea could have been slightly trimmed down I think.

Wasn't keen. Felt more like a bit from The Trip (first series - I haven't seen the others) with the two of them talking about VO work.

[BlodwynPig]

Rubbish. Was the Coogan or Partridge?

[Annie Labuntur]

The "refreshing" callback at the end was pretty weak.

Is part of the conceit that Alan is reading a script for his podcast, thereby misunderstanding what a podcast is? If not, I don't want it to feel like it's Coogan reading as Alan, which some of this does. The bits where it sounds like Alan's winging it are the best.

It sounds so far like a mixture of both. The ramble from the first clip at least suggests it's not just gonna be a script reading..

I liked that clip, it was amusingly pedantic, the pay-off wasn't exactly I said ping pong balls not king kong's balls but there were several small titters along the way.

[notjosh]

Reminder that the podcast is released tomorrow.

How are you all planning to listen? I'm going to resist a binge and do one an evening for the next few weeks. Which means I'll probably stay out of this thread till it's all done.

After the year we've been through, there are more important things than how much you earn or what racquets club you're a member of or how sweet your wheels are. And people say, 'That's the Insignia GSi, isn't it? Nine-speed automatic with paddle shift? Keyless entry, e-boost hydraulic brakes, heated front seats with massage functionality?' And I just chuckle. Some even peer through the window and say, 'Tell you what, Alan, for a 40k car, this is specced to absolute buggery.' And I just shrug and, again, chuckle.
