They say if you can remember the 1960s, you weren't there, which is obviously hogwash because facilitator to the stars Dora Dale was there and remembers everything; The Doors, Mr Pastry, the fab seven, they're all here in Dora's reminiscences, which were recorded to mark the release of the documentary My Generation, narrated by Michael Caine

Dora My Generation

It takes me 8 minutes to deliver a one-line anecdote about Stansted Airport.  But that's how it tended to go in the Piss Poor Podcast.  We must have recorded 400-odd of them.  So if you've never sampled the joy, here's some.

Free Kit Kat At Stansted Airport

All the candidates in June 23rd Wakefield by-election given the oxygen of publicity, all 15 of them.  Plus the early days of the Voice Of Reason, Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, Mel Brooks, Norm MacDonald, & the winner of the National Beautiful Face Contest

Now That Sounds Kosher

Election Special

One of those cheesy 1980s local commercial radio songs.  We all had them, shoehorning in mentions of local places, and revelling in the fact that we're actually on the radio.  In stereo, as well, praise the lord!!

Radio Trent '80s

It's Martin Kelner & Will Buckley, often combatants on BBC panel show Fighting Talk, together at last.  Will, a qualified barrister, as well as a journalist and one of the funniest men in Britain, applies his razor sharp legal mind to the Voice of Reason court case, in which ex-BBC disc jockey Alex Belfield stands accused of stalking.  Also Kelner reveals how he went to Iceland to see Lee Sharpe about a book that never got written by him, but did eventually appear.  One of the few opportunities you may have to hear two middle class old white men whinging on about stuff in an entirely stream of consciousness stylee climaxes with a contest between Lee's book and Kelner's own.  Which one's higher in the Amazon chart...

FABulous

This is me, not exactly reviewing my new printer cartridges...

My Printer Cartridges

Two old white men shooting the breeze about this that and the other - legal issues, books not written, life unfulfilled - and where else can you find that these days.  What's it like to have pissed your white privilege up the wall?  A soupcon to test the market and see if there's a demand for two clapped out journos talking bollocks.

Enjoy Yourself - it's Will Buckley, legal eagle, & broadcasting legend Martin Kelner

I am a veteran radio presenter, having been in the business for more than 30 glorious years.  Also podcaster - having produced the uncensored, unplugged, and profitable (!) Piss Poor Podcast for more than four years.  Currently doing the breakfast show on BBC Radio Leeds with Katherine Hannah, so no longer able to podcast to the nation because of BBC compliance/health and safety and all that.  But if there is a memorable podcast clip you want to hear, if I can lay my hands on it, I shall put it on here.  Keep in touch.  Don't be a stranger.
