The David Eagle Podcast

 This week’s podcast features confusing conversations with computers. Henry II and Simon Cowell have a difference of opinion regarding the musical merits of farting. My idiosyncratic performance of Flight Of the Bumblebee gets a cold reception. And Ellie goes to Laos, where she meets with Dominic Monaghan who’s recovering from an altercation with a lizard, and becomes embroiled in a gambling scam.

 The David Eagle Podcast returns with a bumper bunker-based Herbal Tea Of The Week, as we visit a tea house in Slovakia, situated in a bomb shelter. Six teas from six different countries go to war, but which one will be triumphant. Plus we talk about various recent stand up comedy gigs, including playing to a room of screaming, crying babies, performing for the military, and a surprisingly harrowing experience in Coleshill, Birmingham. And we conclude matters with a lovely little Slovakian soundscape. Enjoy, and we promise to be back a lot sooner than twenty-seven months.

Last weekend The Young'uns did a very mini Christmas tour and here is a compilation of clips from those gigs, in a podcast hilariously titled Merry Gigsmas.

We weren't planning on playing clips from our wedding on the podcast, primarily because we thought it would be boring for you: "I do" "I Will" "to have and to hold" etc etc. But then the wedding turned out to be a bit more exciting than anticipated. Listen to find out why.

We head back thirty years to my eighth birthday in Cassette Roulette; we learn about a mad Victorian scientist's experiments with monkey testicles in Ellie Skinner's Weekly Animal Penis fact; and we visit Biscuit And brew Tea House in Nottingham for Herbal Tea Of The week. Plus I reveal the Fine Young Cannibals' dirty little secret, we hear of a highly unusual fetish and I collaborate with two twelve-year-old girls to create a death metal song.

We're joined by our good friend, the velvet voiced author and
raconteur Matthew Crampton. He hosts our first animal penis fact quiz,
live from Folk East Festival in Suffolk. He also accompanies us on our
London tea based adventure for a multifaceted Herbal Tea Of The Week.
Plus there's a very weird Spammer time courtesy of eliza carthy and yet another
harrowing journey story.

This week's The David Eagle Podcast is all over the place, in both senses of the phrase. I return from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival having met some interesting characters including a chatty undertaker and a teenager in the woods with a rather confusing proposition. I have a near-death experience in Loughborough, cause chaos in a swimming pool in Sheffield, and Herbal Tea Of The week comes live from Tea Sutra Teahouse in Newcastle. IN Cassette Roulette we meet Mr Pie, and Ellie learns some harsh home truths in our feature spammer time.
