No this isn’t one of those seedier podcasts, this is a raw and uncut look into the trials and tribulations of Richard Vobes, podcaster extraordinary and Britain’s (quite possibly the world’s) most prolific podcaster, with his daily (yes even weekends) half hour podcast. Life in the spotlight can be very fulfilling, however, as is all to common with entertainers, what you see is often a facade on their everyday lives. The Naked Englishman podcast is a look behind the mask if you will, of Richard Vobes.

To anyone familiar with the Richard Vobes Radio Show podcast, this is an entirely different beast. Gone are the jingles, music and other production niceties and in their place a frank 5-20 minute daily podcast (yes this is yet another daily podcast, including weekends), detailing the happenings in Richard’s every day life. That doesn’t sound very interesting I hear you say, but you’d be wrong.

As a podcast on it’s own, the Naked Englishman is OK, but when it’s listened to in conjunction with the Vobes show, it provides a fascinating insight into the differences between personality and ordinary man. Be forewarned, this tends to become very compulsive listening as you ride along with some of the ups and downs of Richard’s life.

Conclusion : For any one who’s a regular listener to the Richard Vobes Radio Show, this is a podcast you will surely find interesting. For anyone not already listening to the Vobes show, subscribe to both and get wrapped up in the life of Richard Vobes, the underdog who refuses to give up.

Now this is what podcasting is all about. Join our amiable host Betty (Name changed to protect her identity) on her travels around the world, where she interviews her fellow workers, pilots etc. and in the process gets some fascinating, highly entertaining stories. This is one of those podcasts that’s bordering on the brink, especially after the firing of the Queen of Sky last year. Not that there’s anything objectionable, but airlines seems to frown upon this sort of thing, which is a great shame as it really is entertaining stuff.

Each podcast is around 20 minutes and boy does the time fly (no pun intended… oh who am I kidding). There’s something that is oh so right with this kind of podcast. Not only do you get to hear from many other people, you get to listen in to some truly funny and interesting stories.

Conclusion : She’s leaving on a jet plane and I’ll be right there waiting to hear what’s she’s been up to when she returns.
