The David Eagle Podcast

Featuring Boney M news, a very moving tribute to John Challis. A triplet of teas culminates our Herbal Tea Of The Week series, but only one tea can be crowned king of the cold brews. Plus more desultory DJing, captioning confusion and a cornucopia of characters, including our new Australian podcast producer and the return of Tom from the 90s Ford Jennings North East radio commercial.

Can a monitor lizard love you? Can trains fly? And what do you get when you cross frank Spencer with a Labrador Retriever? It might well be our cold brew series, but nevertheless things are really hotting up in Herbal Tea Of The week. Plus eccentric DJing, weird radio commercials, unusual impressions, and a story about a dog infiltrating our theatre show

We are invited to join the illuminati, Ellie gets into a street fight, and we receive some surreal sex education from a weird old woman.

More train travel tribulations, a nerdy shoutout, a disturbing infomercial, the FBI get in touch, and how will this week's cold brew herbal tea fare?

At 11pm on Saturday 31st July I was turfed out onto the street by Britannia Sachas Hotel in Manchester, despite having booked and paid for a room. They had sold my room on to someone else at a higher cost. Last week I devised a plan to gain my revenge on Britannia Hotels. I wrote a song about them, contacted the newspapers, sent emails, Facebook invites and tweets to fellow folk singers and comedians in the Manchester area. The idea was for us all to flash mob the hotel with my song. Hundreds of people expressed an interest in joining me. Manchester Evening News said they wanted to cover the event. This podcast is a recording of what occurred when we travelled to Manchester to picket Britannia Sachas Hotel with my song of protest. How many people would join me, and will the newspaper reporter turn up to cover it? Find out in this instalment of The David Eagle Podcast.

More tales from being on the road doing stand up comedy. Last week's adventure was nearly being beaten up outside a rough Kent pub. This week I am unexpectedly turfed out onto the rainy streets of Manchester late at night. IN complete contrast to that, we celebrate the return of our ability to once again smell and taste by sampling and reviewing a herbal tea. We have yet another Arch Bishop Of Canterbury story, and there's my most personally embarrassing Cassette Roulette yet.

This week I did my most surreal stand up gig by far, and fortunately for you I recorded it. So press play and join me in a rough rowdy pub in Kent for the "highlights", one of which being a bloke threatening to kick the shit out of me.

Covid-based isolation isn't enough to keep me and Ellie from recording a podcast. We've miced up separate parts of the house to talk some more about testicles and to bring you your favourite features, Cassette Roulette and Spammer Time, but not Herbal Tea Of The Week because we can't smell or taste anything. This week's guest is comedian and taxi driver Trevor Bickles who recounts three of his most memorable taxi journeys, and you'll never guess who he's had in the back of his cab.

The bad news is I've got Covid so I've had to cancel all my festivals and gigs until the 24th July. The good news is that you are still allowed contact with me through the medium of podcast. So listen in for some gig anecdotes, including the tale of the rather harrowing experience my dad had during one of my stand up nights.

This week, a gay animals themed quiz; Elton John based dog puns; dodgy radio adverts; more stories of harrowing journeys, and more penis trivia; plus all your favourite features: Herbal Tea Of The Week, Cassette Roulette and Spammer Time.
