WOOTcast - Episode 16
Can you believe that it’s already been 16 weeks since we started WOOTcast? Whilst everyone else is winding down for Christmas WOOTcast is still running full-pace like a bunch of idiots. This week we’ve got a bumper feature podcast for you. Hopefully you will be happy to hear that Dave Or No Dave is back - on a strict probation period. All the usual random chatter about various escapades that we’ve gotten upto also make the cut, including: Adam’s attempt to catch a bus, our thoughts about YouTube Live, cute little pygmy goats and a whole bucket load more.
Straight from the four corners of the internet this week we’ve found out the oddest news stories for your listening pleasure. Up for discussion today is the news that a Zoo have separated the gay penguins from the straight ones in an attempt to stop them from stealing their eggs and replacing them with rocks! Fair play or discrimination? A man gets banned in German from a bathroom showroom after using one of the display toilets without flushing, Jackass style comedy or just ignorance?
Also in the show, I discuss my terrible allergic reaction to Nando’s chicken, analyse the ins and outs of door-opening etiquette and Adam faces his worst fears in his I’m A Celebrity style bush-tucker trial! Don’t forget in the run up to Christmas we’re surprising you with a-thing-a-day behind the WOOTcast Advent Calendar doors.

WOOTcast - Black Friday Special
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Still considered as a mainly American holiday, Thanksgiving is just one of the trends which are catching on back home in good old Blighty. Another Americanism that’s fresh from across the waters is Black Friday. Usually in America, many of the shops kick off the Christmas shopping season with a fantastic sale - and that’s become more and better known in the UK too. Our media sponsor, the UK Apple Store will be announcing massive discounts this Friday to celebrate, if you use the WOOTcast.net links to the Apple Store you can helps us out by earning commission on your purchases without any additional cost to you!
As our contribution to mark the start of the Christmas shopping season, we thought that it would be nice to offer up a special one-off mini podcast stuffed full with little bits that we’ve been saving up for moments exactly like this. We’ll be back as normal next week with Tuesday’s podcast.

WOOTcast - Episode 15
The age old question: ‘If Buzz Lightyear doesn’t know that he’s a toy, then why doesn’t he speak when the humans are around?’, answered! And a whole lot more all in this week’s podcast. Join us as we discuss the insane state the world has gotten itself into in the last 7 days from pirate invasions to John Sergeant gate. We also mention the BNP’s marginalisation (oh it is a shame for them) and the decision from the pre-budget report to cut VAT by 2.5%.
The ever reliable Things That Are Crap returns for another round. I relive my painful foot injury tale, while Adam gives us an insight into his mind, while discussing hole-punches – and is paper really biodegradable?
Meanwhile I’m still battling against Sky just to get basic internet service, while President-Elect, Barack Obama announces his decision to produce his own weekly podcast. Finally we self-indulge (or at least, I do) when we unveil the results of the listener surveys so far (and if you haven’t filled one out yet, please go to survey.wootcast.net so you can help us improve the show).

WOOTcast - Episode 14
The disarray continues. As promised, I have re-fitted the entire studio with new microphones, pop-shields, mixers and all sorts of fancy gadgetry... only - alot of the stuff hasn’t be delivered yet. But we make do without it by sellotaping the microphones to their stands, and using a few old wires to hook us upto the recording software... anyway, I digress.
This week’s podcast is absolutely jam packed with anecdotes and mad stories from the news. We didn’t really have chance to plan any proper items like more refined radio professionals might, but we hope that you enjoy our inane chat nonetheless. I reveal my undying love for Ellen DeGeneres and Joan Rivers.
Luckily for us, a bucket load of things happened this week for us to get our metaphorical, conversational teeth into. Such as; Children In Need, the world’s ugliest dog leaves this world, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, We Are Most Amused (a sort-of Argos version of the Royal Variety Show).
The whole thing is then wrapped up with a return to the high-fibre idiot parade; Things That Are Crap. We hope you join us next week when we will have a fully functioning podcast studio ready for us.

WOOTcast - Episode 13
Week 13, and I feel like I’m apologising for the audio quality each week. Last night I thoroughly tested the studio to check everything was working as it should be, and it passed with flying colour. But for some reasons, when it comes to the crunch, it doesn’t want to record things properly. I do insist all these silly little problems will be fixed for next week’s episode.
This week we are thrilled to be joined by the gorgeous Lea Walker. She first came into our heart in 2006 when she rolled onto our screens in Channel 4’s prime time smash Big Brother. Known for her outgoing personality and outspoken manner, Lea quickly won the hearts of the British public; and conquered many of her demons by doing so. Two years later, with a successful career in radio, and a developed media personality, Lea is still battling the same demons. We talk about her new book, ‘Living with BDD: Body Dimorphic Disorder’ where she relives painful memories from the past, and brings the issue of Body Dimorphic Disorder (or BDD) into the public consciousness for the first time.
We’ve also got all the usual WOOTcast stuff. We discuss the recent presidential elections in America, and the side effects it will have on comedians everywhere; I relive my abstract condom dream (the Freud wannabes amongst you may want to write to me at inbox@wootcast.net, and let me know what it all means).

WOOTcast - Episode Twelve
Come senators, congressmen; please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall.
So the 12th podcast is here, and with it brings the hope of change. Tonight the 44th president of the United States of America will be announced something that we’ve been fervently following in the UK. The chances are by the time you’ve received this podcast the results have been announced, however please excuse us while we indulge in a politically skewed podcast.
In this week’s podcast we talk about my obsessive addiction to Tetris, all the fantastic programmes that we’ve caught on television this week (from Dead Set to the NTAs). And Adam shares his story of the eclectic hat-shop he stumbled upon in the week. Possibly in our most obscure flight of fantasy to date, we imagine the kind of social situations Madonna has been getting herself into to take her mind off her divorce with Guy Ritchie.
Our regular; Thing That Are Crap, makes it’s twelfth visit to the podcast taking down the likes of the Daily Mail, the BBC and even Paul Merton’s love handles.
From now on the podcasts will no longer contain any commercial advertisements, so you don’t get any annoying interruptions. But we do still need your support, you can help us out by buying a t-shirt.
‘Manze Dayila & the Nago Nation’ join us for WOOTcast: Bands with their brilliant track ‘Change’.

WOOTcast - Episode Eleven: Spooktacular
Who said we were low-brow, the Spooktacular 2008 kicks off with a bloody old poem.
Quite possibly the most eccentric podcast released to date. Most of the usual items take a break this week in place for ghost tour around the scariest of all places... Barnsley! Dr Footspa makes his first appearance on our podcast as Adam takes part in regression therapy - taking him back to a former life... instead Adam just seems to think that he was Jesus.
Most of this week’s podcast was recorded on the road during our time in eerie Barnsley. Join us as we explore the local traditions of Halloween and take a tour of a typical Barnsley house.
This week we discuss the loss of Paul McCartney’s head... (albeit a wax version). After it was left on a train during transportation to auction. A £2,000 reward is being offered for it’s safe return.
After six injuries and one death, an estimated 25,000 toilet seats get a mention in the podcast - we like to think of it as a public service. We urge anyone who bought a seat between May 2007 and January 2008 to be cautious.
Listener Impossible doesn’t make the cut to the podcast this week, but do remember you still have the chance to win a t-shirt.

WOOTcast - Episode Ten
Episode 10 is here! Hurrah! Can you believe it’s already been 10 weeks since WOOTcast was launched? In celebration of this fantastic milestone in podcast production we’ve invited a special guest onto the show to talk to us about his latest work. The ever-popular Commercial Break returns taking down the excuse for an advert that is Polaris World.
I also offload my latest rant onto your ears, this week old people at bus stops have been getting on my nerves. Feature Fight takes a well-deserved break this week and might return next week... if we manage to come up with decent ideas for features.
Listen as we discuss the Queen’s visit to Google and her plans on boosting her website ratings.

WOOTcast - Episode Nine
We eventually manage to sort the sound quality out... sort of. After purchasing a shit load of new audio equipment, we're let down by one single audio cable which fails to arrive on time, meaning the microphones aren't quite upto scratch - now we need your financial support more than ever so help us out by getting a t-shirt... begging over. This week the commercial break returns taking on the health drink juggernaut, Yakult.
We discuss the REAL reason why the banks are facing such a large financial pinch. Re-brands all round as we discover the latest victims of the current corporate trends. The 106 year-old American Nun living in a convent in Rome gets a mention, as she is the oldest person to vote in the American election, but more importantly voted for Obama! After a heated row, a Cambodian couple literally split their house into two; right down the middle.
The Feature Fight takes another victim in shocking roulette, and we showcase this week's less-than-well-thought-out ideas. My feature: "Strength in your Mind" and Adam's "Bored of News" go head to head for your votes.
The high-fibre idiot parade count's this week's top 10 Things That Are Crap, and the podcast finishes with this week's Listener Impossible mission - and your chance to win a WOOTcast t-shirt!

WOOTcast - Episode Eight
Eight weeks in and I still haven't quite mastered the hardware. All is well for the first half, however it soon became apparent when I sat down to edit the podcast, that Adam's microphone has picked up an echo which made us sound like we were broadcasting from within the Taj Mahal (although an impressive sound, not quite the tone we were going for!) So after rigorous editing and various re-takes, the podcast is now here in all its splendour - delivered to you at the new time of 9pm GMT.
Podcast number eight is stuffed full of anecdotes from our day's events, listen as we discuss the ridiculous lengths some companies will go to just to advertise a TV show, £1.19 McFlurrys are a sure sign for the recession, we discuss the correct milk etiquette in public and I invite people to spot me at the Russell Brand gig in January.
In the Unadulterated News Injection this week we talk about the government’s attitude towards smoking - and the NHS bill for it! The BBC report the obvious about our economy: we’re all fucked. And last and probably, least, Mr Gay UK eats his lover in Sweeny Todd style horror.
The Feature Fight results from last week are announced along with the game of shocking roulette and both Adam and I unveil our latest creations for this week’s Feature Fight. Find out how to vote below.
Things That Are Crap announces this week’s Top 10 on the reject pile - and it’s all neatly wrapped up with Listener Impossible, email your stories infamy to inbox@wootcast.net, to be in with a chance to win a WOOTcast t-shirt!

WOOTcast - Episode Seven
So it's the first time in seven weeks that we missed the 8pm deadline - better late than never I guess! We really had alot of fun recording this week's podcast and as usual is stuffed full of audio gold and other... less enthralling bits. As the dust is settling in the new 'studio' we’re having some trouble with the equipment, and we are aware that this is detectable in the podcast, but do bare with us, we’re getting things sorted little by little.
The main news stories that dominated column inches this week were the take-overs announced amongst many leading global banks, but as the world spirals into economic recession, lie back and enjoy this podcast, it will help take your mind off things.
The results from last week's Feature Fight are also announced and the loser is forced to play Russian roulette with the electrocution device. Adam kicks off this week's battle with his "Red Herring" feature and I respond with "This is not an advert". Vote for your favourite at WOOTcast.net!
Adam's favourite feature, "Things That Are Crap" also returns naming and shaming the top ten offenders this week. Hope you enjoy the show, and don’t forget you can subscribe - so that you never miss a podcast!

WOOTcast - Episode Six
Thanks for sticking around to check out podcast number 6. Bombarded with technical difficulties and a lack of recording equipment due to the less-than-reliable British postal service; we’re forced into using pre-medieval recording hardware. Hopefully the studio will be fully refurbished for next week so that we can bring you the podcasts in glorious stereo.
As the world falls apart around us we continue to podcast, taking a sideways look at the financial apocalypse that we’ve been plunged, head-first, into. Discussing this week’s lesser known news stories unearths some worrying information about Stephen Hawking’s “Time-Eater”.
Things That Are Crap returns to countdown this week’s top 10 in the idiot parade. Along with the newest member of the inner sanctum, Feature Fight, a metaphorical fight between Adam and me – as we go head-to-head in podcast feature creation warfare. And we wrap things up with the Televisualreview, this week it’s victims include xFactor’s ‘Gang-Bang Grandma’.

WOOTcast - Episode Five
The world’s favourite podcast returns, live from outside Lehman Brothers HQ on Wall Street. We’re bursting with news, so you may need to prepare a towel and some protective goggles.
This week see the exciting return of the commercial break, daring to go where no parody has gone before. I also wheel out more nonsense in the form of anecdotes, talking at length about not very much. Did we mention t-shirts are available? In celebration of the 5th podcast, we hold a quiz all about the number 5 itself, stretching Adam to his intellectual limit.
In the news this week we look at the big stories, LHC gets hacked. Steve Jobs announces the release of the brand new iPod Nano’s featuring a shiny new design and some useful features. Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai sign the power-sharing deal. Wall Street’s Lehman Brothers announce bankruptcy, and finally the headline grabber this week: XL airlines grounds it’s planes.
We like to think of the WOOTcast as a kind of public service, providing the lesser-exposed news stories a few extra column inches in the newspaper tapestry of life. These include: woman calls 999 because she doesn’t like her rabbit’s ears, 20 girls faint after exam-pressure, the green debate, “lightbulbs: friend or foe?”. We also give Gordon ‘f*cking’ Ramsey a mention, and we pay a visit to the bad grandma who earns her stripes, collecting 10 ASBOs.
Things That Are Crap pops in for a cup of tea and we give some dunk-able biscuits to our new friend, the Televisual Review.

WOOTcast - Episode Four
Topping last week’s show would be difficult no matter what. But we apologise in advance for the lack of thought put into this week’s podcast. It’s certainly not the highlight of the WOOTcast journey - however we have a responsibility to deliver content to you, so here it is none the less. Episode four of WOOTcast podcast.
So this week not much has been going on in the form of news, sure lots of mega-serious things have happened, but nothing we can happily poke fun at without reaping the consequences! We still plough on talking about the drug addict elephant, the impending end of the world and the wildly controversial appearance of Russell Brand at MTV’s Video Music Awards.
Most of the regulars make a return visit, with one casualty: Dave or No Dave is no more. It was fun while it lasted but we’re sad to say that we’ve had to move on for both a mixture of legal and feasibility reasons.
We’re also very lucky to be joined by Mr Nibbs (so coined by none other than Russell Brand himself!) as he shares his secrets on brushing shoulders with the stars of digital television.

WOOTcast - Mini Podcast: Big Brother Special
So only two more sleeps until the final of Big Brother 2008! Who do you want to be crowned winner? This week has been very exciting for WOOTcast with extra special Big Brother features, clips and the fabulous interview with Richard from Big Brother 2006. To help pass the time between now and final night we have an extra-special mini-podcast feature Susie, the Golden Ticket Winner from Big Brother 2006. Listen as we catch up with her and get her opinion on this year’s motley crew of housemates.
(Play It)
WOOTcast - Episode Three: Big Brother Special
This is the icing on the WOOTcast Big Brother cake. Episode 3: Big Brother Special certainly lives up to the hype. Because this week’s episode is quite special it’s also longer than the usual podcast, so we could squeeze everything in.
Enjoy the Top 10 Big Brother moments count-down throughout this week’s show.
I relive my near-death experience and then discuss appreciating the finer things in life. We also cast our eyes over this week’s top news headlines breaking them down into nice little chunks and extracting all their comedy value. The news of outdoor classes makes it on the show, ill-informed, we also mention the Democratic speech delivered by Hilary Clinton, the fake death of Steve Jobs gets a mention, and we wrap up the news with the Google’s new web-browser.
Regular items: Things That Are Crap, Reality Review and Dave or No Dave all return. Of course with Big Brother special additions
Finally, we are very fortunate to be joined by Richard Newman for an interview about his time in the Big Brother house in 2006 and how it compares to this year’s lot.

WOOTcast - Episode Two
In this week’s episode of WOOTcast we talk about the Virgin Radio/Geoff Lloyd debacle. We also big up 4radio’s presenters for featuring the WOOTcast live on air. The flight of fancy then takes us to relive my nightmare about Dr. Mean and we discuss the purpose of Alex Zane.
We discuss Mary Connors’ failed record attempt. Staying topical we talked about Boris’ amazing Olmpic speech and other Olympic high jinx. The condom-condom ringtone also gets a play and hilarity ensues. Also featured from the news is the cow beauty pageant and the tragic crocodile worship story. But by far the biggest news story this week was the GCSE results; listen as we open our unofficial results live on air.
New for this week is the weekly item "Things are Crap", what made it to number one this week? Listen to find out! Also new this week is "Lyric Switch" where we cleverly parody the latest chart music.
Regular feature "Reality Review" rears it’s ugly head as we take a look at the world of reality TV. And "Dave or No Dave" reaches new dizzying heights of failure.
(Play It)
WOOTcast - Episode One
In today’s show we discuss the hottest news topics but soon realise that everything is crashing around us! In an attempt to hunt out some more light-hearted news we quickly scour the internet live, with shocking picture results - as we’re suddenly presented by a shocking image of a snake getting a little too cosy with a random guy. We also celebrate the Olympic achievements of Team GB out in Beijing, and speculate about the other contestants. The Reality Review re-lives Dreamtime’s nightmare of an audition on XFactor and Big Brother’s Stuart’s crowd dive directly into the hard concrete floor. Also in today’s show we dare to play Dave or No Dave in which we phone three unsuspecting victims chosen randomly from the Yellow Pages - it starts off bad and just gets worse! But what did you think? Let us know in the comments or e-mail us at inbox@wootcast.net. Just a quick note, we are aware that the audio levels aren't quite perfect in this podcast but we're doing our best to sort that out for next time!
