This Week’s Goon Pod

Don’t miss this week’s edition of Goon Pod. In it, Tyler talks to “the Grand Poobah” of the GSPS, Richard Usher and the University of York archivist Gary Brannan.

As well as discussing the Galton and Simpson archive which Gary is working on, and scripts found in it which were written for Peter Sellers and as performed recently by Richard (more info), the topics ranged from the archives being collected more generally at York, including the GSPS’s, collection, and the strength and future of the GSPS.

The very same day as the podcast was released, the video of Gary’s talk and Richard’s performance was uploaded to YouTube. See it here.

The crowdfunding campaign to help secure the Galton and Simpson archive, as mentioned in the podcast, is here

Coming soon! A new monthly podcast where we examine the ninth episode of classic – and not-so-classic – British sitcoms to see what it represents and tells us about the series as a whole. https://open.spotify.com/show/6XUWFZTUFZTrxGZZ9buOp3By the ninth episode most sitcoms have got into their stride and the audience at home have got to know the different characters; the sit is well-enough established and the com is strong enough that viewers are engaged and entertained. Well, that’s the theory anyway.Episode one is out next week where Tyler Adams & Chris Diamond examine Open All Hours!
