Gordons Alive

Nat and Mike often fain happiness when Dan has to bow to his busy schedule and miss a show but this week Mike actually breaks into song. You've been warned.

In other news: All-Pro (just) David Whitney brightens the studio with his presence; David's loyal support of the New York Football Giants kicks things off very nicely indeed; Mike talks police procedurals; Nat talks about the exploitative nature of wrestling; Iron Mike delivers a Manziel-free round-up; then a Kobe-free round-up; it's almost like he knows there are other players in their respective sports, who knew? Loads of great questions; HdP prepares a Twit or Twat for the guys and of course there's much, much more...

Americarnage #163: Sing-a-long-a-'Carnage

Quick showreel for the American sports and pop-culture podcast I produce called Americarnage. Broadcasters Nat Coombs and Mike Carlson do the NFL on Channel 4 as well as plenty else, stand-up comedian and TV producer Dan Louw does more than you yet know and a supporting cast of great guests do... whatever it is they do. Two years in and stronger than ever, search Americarnage on itunes or go to www.americarnage.co.uk

As a day job I've been producing audio books for the last few years at the RNIB's Camden studios, punctuated with the odd magazine programme or short drama. All done in one, I'm producer, engineer and editor and, on a good day, sound designer and voice-over too. 

It's strange work, just me and an actor for the bulk of the day, trying to maintain drama and clarity while not actually dramatising or clarifying anything. Quite personal, sometimes quite intense and usually pretty fun. Worked with loads of brilliant actors but no, not Stephen Fry. He doesn't do all of them y'know.

As a freelance, amongst other things, I produce the American sports and comedy podcast Americarnage with Mike Carlson, Nat Coombs and Dan Louw. Been putting out top-quality sporting laffs weekly since december 2010. Find it on itunes, twitter, facebook, all sorts of places, and at www.americarnage.co.uk.

Always making stuff, always up for making more stuff.
