The David Eagle Podcast

This week we meet The Jesus Geezers, a cockney gospel band. Ellie has a weird dream about me and Billy Bragg. I unearth my childhood diaries. And I recount my unusual experience with an A-list celebrity in a cupboard.

This week, I have an odd experience at a urinal. I blind a computer programmer. Ellie has a medical mishap. There’s a poem from the perspective of a piece of chewing gum. We take a walk in the park where we chat about my meeting with Jason Donovan, plus there’s more goose news, and we meet an arse-scratching squirrel; you’ll have to listen to discover if the squirrel is scratching its own arse, or the backside of me or Ellie. We’ve been looking after our ten-year-old nephew this weekend and it’s certainly been eventful. We have our first listener complaint and I enlist the services of Frank Skinner to defend my honour. Our street becomes embroiled in a bin-based drama. Plus, in yet another example of paradigm shifting podcasting, there’s a mystery sound competition. And more chat about Vegetables, Biscuits, Birds And Le Creuset.Chapters:(00:00:00) Coming Up, Plus Some Toilet Humour(00:01:58) The Bastard Thing’s Crashed!(00:20:48) William The Conqueror And The NHS Phone Service(00:30:51) From Booing To Chewing(00:34:57) Featuring Jason Donovan, Some Goose News, And An Arse-scratching Squirrel(00:50:07) Listener Complaint(01:04:52) Weird Woman At Gig(01:09:01) Mystery Sound Competition And Some Street Drama(01:23:18) More Chat About Vegetables, Biscuits, Birds And Le Creuset

Ellie sees an odd and intriguing tattoo. I experience a footwear farce. I get accidentally insulted by an enthusiastic audience member. Ellie has more shelf news. I attempt to create a dance hit by sampling the radio. My recent stand up gig takes a very unexpected turn. We hear once again from the Nottingham swingers, and one of our regulars, Olivia, is back, and she’s got thoughts and a challenge.Warning: Contains Pelvic Thrusting.Chapters:(00:00:00) – The Bit where I Tell You what’s Coming Up(00:01:42) - Footwear Farce, Tattoo Talk and More Shelf News(00:16:15) - A Silly Song, a Wee Chat and a Walk(00:22:50) - Weaponised Blind Kids(00:26:58) - Home Taping Is Making Music(00:30:47) - I Am Alan!

I get rather lost in a park, where I commentate on a tennis match and have a Whitney Houston-based encounter. We have stand-up clips from Bradford and Doncaster. We’re in London, listening in to conversations between sweary students and argumentative pensioners. There’s a new feature, Ellie Skinner’s On the Shelf, and the return of the catchily named Technological Regression Masquerading As Technological Progression.

We are approached by the daughter of a dictator in Spammer Time. Join me in the bath for an explosive experience, and I conduct an experiment involving cold water and Vera Lynn. I’ve been back on the dark web to unearth some lost musical treasures, and this time it’s an unheard gem from Guns N. Roses. We go for a walk to try and thwart a murder. There’s a couple of stories about guide dogs, and we read a few of your comments and listen to some rather weird phone messages.CHAPTERS:(00:00:00) - It Started With a Blow(00:04:52) - Spammer Time: The Dictator’s Daughter(00:10:15) - In the Bath With Guns N.

This week we share anecdotes about Louis van Gaal, Miles Jupp, Elis James, John Robins, Fern Brady and George Ezra. We join Bob Dylan in a youth hostel, and we receive an email from Lou Bega, with his brand new song.

We’re back. The plan is to record something every day and then release weekly. This week: Join me in the bath with a pair of geese, a call to my bank takes a sordid and confusing turn, and Ellie and I have some weird massage experiences. Plus, we go abroad, but I don’t know where we’re going. Find out where we land and what we do in the first in a new weekly series of The David Eagle Podcast. It’s better than a bald head.

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 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.

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.

We're back in the studio with the return of regular features. Spammer time, where we meet a rather flirtatious IT teacher; Cassette Roulette provides us with some very weird and intriguing 90s radio clips, and Ellie Skinner's Weekly Animal Penis Fact turns its attention on the fox. Plus, another harrowing journey story, I become a role model for kids and we discover my unusual stage walk-on ritual.
