John reminds us of that much-loved first day of a new academic year, as he greets the school with the traditional Headmaster's speech.

We're very pleased to announce John's new video series, Headcast, which can be found at http://headcast.co.uk. It's a serious, searching look at the nature of perception and belief, and the ways in which reality is shaped by powerful men to suit their own agenda. The full version costs $1.00 US - but this podcast is still free... !

'Tis the holiday season, in which people everywhere gather to celebrate this precious time of giving.

The final part of the keynote speech John gave at The National Radio Conference in Sydney, Australia in October 2006.

"My Husband and I would like to welcome you to our Mr Cleese podcast number 20". Tugging of forlocks as John tells of his lunch with The Queen.

The Jack Cheese plodcast once more creaks into life, this time with a blatant bit of Hollywood promotional saccharine. Wook at all da wickle fwuffy animwals!
