Gumf Audio One-Offs

Episode #2560: Comedy podcaster shares stories about his comedy podcast 'The Gulf Magazine Podcast Show' that he co-hosts with his lifelong buddy Colin.

Together, they make a fairly crummy comedy podcast show that's all about growing up in Manchester England.

It's taken 14 episodes for Ben and Connor to realise that the podcast is far too high concept and unrelatable. They kick it back a notch this week and bring the people some honest and earnest conversation.

Granted, there's some distractions along the way - namely yelling teenagers, disruptive phone calls and a green freak making a brew. In spite of it all, this may be the most low concept, salt of the earth episode since, oh, let's say Wikibogeypod.

The wokerati’s reign on GAOO is OVER! Emboldened by local election results, Ben is here to press his new manifesto for change onto the podcast.

No more snowflake flimflam under this new regime. There’s gonna be order, there’s gonna be discipline and you’d better believe there’s gonna be KitKats.

Connor’s away on an expenses paid work trip, so Ben can make this week’s weekly episode into whatever he wants.

This is basically just a boilerplate episode jam-packed with wrestling, history, ghosts, some kind of Marge - you get the jist.

If Ben is your favourite Gumf guy, this episode is for you! If you’re a member of our audience’s larger cohort, there’s always next week!

It’s a month since their first live show, so Ben and Connor spill the tea on how their lives have changed since.

Namely, Ben is watching a bit of darts and Connor seems quite annoyed about stuff. Think Andy Burnham’s in there somewhere as well, can’t remember.

It got a bit foggy after the 20 minute mark, if I’m being totally honest.

Join Ben and Connor as they try their hand at the ever difficult and ever disappointing realm of live comedy.

Thanks to the venue staff for considering an independent, unprofessional comedy duo to fill in at the last minute. (Sorry about the mess).

Settle in by the fire on this crisp, Christmas evening and join Ben and Connor as they share in a pleasant, entirely normal converasation.

No gimmicks, no tricks, just two guys having a festive chat. Oh, also Santa shows up. Potentially twice. Lot of talk about scrotular aeration and the decimation of biscuits. Listen now!

Co-Captains Fenton and Cotton are tasked by Fleet Admiral O'Day to recruit a new planet to the Gumf Federation of Worlds. Everything's going to plan until irritating enemies rear their handsome heads.

This science fiction radio play is a podcast like no other (unless there's other science fiction radio play podcasts out there). Step into a utopian future where humans explore the depths of space and Sydney Sweeney is green.

In this episode, we hear from YOU! That's right, Gumf Audio One-Off listeners have submitted voice notes for Ben and Connor to hear and enjoy.

We hear from budding romantics, old teachers and children with homework. We study the concepts of magnets, slime, time travel and physical enhancement surgery!

Additionally, we're hoping desperately that the episode isn't removed due to copyright strike thanks to the many songs we (mostly just Ben) sing throughout.

There hasn't been a Gumf Audio One-Off in months and that's because Connor and Ben recorded an episode in January that was so atrocious that they lost all hope.

But fear not! The Gumf boys have used the Time Travel Telephone to dissect their atrocious effort at audio entertainment and squeeze every single drop of comedy from the unreleased episode.

That said, it's important to trigger some solid Search Engine Optimisation in these episode descriptions so it's worth noting that Donald Trump, Artificial Intelligence and Rayman Raving Rabids all get some serious airtime in this episode.
