7 Day Monday
Monday, May 17, 2010
One of my favourite podcasts at the moment is 7 Day Sunday, featuring comedians Chris Addison, Andy Zaltzman and Sarah Millican, often with other guests. Itâs a Sunday morning overview of the previous weekâs news. On BBC5 in England. In Australia, itâs a podcast I try to remember to listen to on Monday while itâs still more-or-less relevant.
Although more recently, itâs also the source of a Sunday night (Australian time) challenge I attempt to rise to. Addison will tweet for audience suggestions regarding an issue thatâs been in the press. I try to contribute something funny and clever enough to make it to air.
This week the question was, what can former British PM Gordon Brown do now that heâs resigned?
Iâve always thought Brown was separated-at-birth twin of Monty Pythonâs Terry Jones.
My suggestion made it to air. And it made Andy Zaltzman and Sarah Millican laugh. Nice.
