It’s time for another trip to Canterbury’s top theatre for a freshly-baked Podcast, which this month – due to a technical error –  comes to you courtesy of robot duplicates of Richard and Dan.

Sit back and join Robo-Dan and Robo-Rich as they chat with the comic book mind behind swathes of Bunty, The Beano, ‘Doctor Who?’ and more – Mr Tim Quinn!

Also popping in for a natter is the one and only Arthur Smith, talking about his new autobiography, his memories of student life, and his eyebrow-raising pitch for Sky Television.

Fresh out of The Bakery’s oven comes the April Podcast for Canterbury’s Gulbenkian Theatre.

This month, Dan and Richard usher you into a distinctly chilled-out and smoky mop cupboard, as the Gulbenkian Podcast turns into a mini jazz club to celebrate the Gulbenkian Jazz Singers Open Mic Night.

Joining them over by the bar, for a jazz cigarette and a bit of a shooby-dooby-doo, is ‘Pappy’s Fun Club’ talking about their time at the University of Kent, and why their sitcom idea is a bit spermy at the moment. Also making an appearance among the pianos and bass-lines is comedian and political activist Mark Thomas, telling us why every laugh is a tiny revolution. You cats’d be crazy to miss it.

Some how i have managed to shoot roughly 9 hours of footage for this film, to which only 8 minutes and 50 seconds get into the final cut. This to me is an obvious piece of evidence for the learning curve this project has been all about.

Though not all of the other 8 hours, 51 minutes and 10 seconds have been wasted. They have given me a wealth of experience behind the camera, and also behind the computer. They have also given birth to some very funny things that inevitably happen when you press that red record button…

It always amazes me how one can completely alter the story of a film, by creating a trailer. The two variables of condensing a story and making it appeal to a wide audience seem to do interesting things…especially when accompanied with an emotive soundtrack.

I think ruining the original narrative in the form of a trailer is the best part of movie making. Well it is for me anyway.

Yep, the March Podcast is here.

Slightly later than planned, The Bakery is proud to announce our latest Podcast instalment, produced for the wondrous Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury.

This month, Dan and Richard prop open the mop cupboard door once again to give listeners the low down on the theatre’s acts and performances. There’s an interview with the fabulous comedian Mark Steel (including musing on the Puritans, student activism and Descartes’ reading habits); a competition where YOU can win 2 free tickets to see ‘Pappy’s Fun Club’ and (courtesy of an amazing piece of portable recording technology which deserves a Blog post of its own) a location feature on the University of Kent’s Pole Fitness Society.

You should listen to this month’s Podcast, if only to hear mine and Dan’s attempts at pole dancing. Yes, we really did have a go. Ouch.

After precisely 7 weeks of very hard work, i am somewhat honoured and happy to announce the launch of www.awalkaroundbritain.com.

This is the 3rd website to go under the banner of The Bakery and will (if my gut is right) bring forth and prosperus era for all of us involved. Working closely with the boys (Ed, Will and Ginger),  having plenty of beautiful artwork availible (courtesy of one very talented lady called Shelley Mould), aided by a random Flasher (Max) and quick PHP genius of Ollie Buck, I (Alaric) have made another website.

However, this site is slightly different from others i have made. Hopefully my hard work will enable the boys to put forth information and wisdom that will intrigue, entertain, make people smile and perhaps even tap a foot. Collecting boundless stories, songs, poems, folklore, herblore, images and videos i wish this site good luck in educating all of us, that there is more to Britain than the information confined in the box of a tabloid or the screens of our TV’s. In fact, i am the last person to be patriotic (and my friends will back up that comment), but the beautiful content these boys have written certainly make me feel like Britain is a magical place to be born and inhabit.

Enjoy.
