This episode, Barbara talks to comedian Lucy Beaumont, the current star of "Meet the Richardsons" on Dave (Thursdays at 10pm) about gigs they have both shared, the state of almost delirious "laugh happy" they love to see in people, and their shared comedy influences. 
Lucy also talks about how her husband is almost perfectly suited to the current crisis, as well as not really noticing she is actually on a podcast!

The third "Corona Cast" sees Barbara and Producer Paul link up with "Writerer" Al Kennedy, who Barbara met at the Edingburgh festival and felt an instant kinship with

Do writers feel any different in the current corona crisis? What does it feel like to have to cut your own hair because you can't go out? And will her edict of telling people to be kind get anyone sued by Barbara?

After a short break, Barbara is back and this time she's keen to talk to musician Jack Goodall, who performs under the name of Goodall

They talk everything from the first time you feel the need to perform at school, childish songs you invent in the playground, favourite artists and what you take from them, pigs going dig, Prince going bankrupt and much more

And in a BNAF first, Goodall performs a song for us live in the Shed. Producer Paul has been calmed about the rights issues and full disclaimers and permissions have been put in place. So enjoy it without stress!

Mrs Barbara Nice is lured out of the Brum Radio Podcast shed this episode and down to Digbeth in Birmingham for an arts festival: The Birmingham Weekender

So expect 5 minute doses of conversation about everything from business to charity, how couples meet, the young and old on their phones and the mean streets of Coventry.
AND she was on TV! Barbara makes the news kids, smashing!
