Blogging is to writing what podcasting is to broadcasting. That which was once structured and refined has degenerated into a mindless splurge of pseudo-consciousness. The reason I love blogging and podcasting is because the pleasures you receive — however thin — tend to be relatively unexpected. We are epigones suffering from a surfeit of genre conventions. Blogging and podcasting are the barbarians at the gates, destroying whatever rusted infrastructure gets in their way.
So when Robert Wringham suggested recording our thoughts at Latitude festival, I readily agreed. He has since recorded another podcast with his mate in Dudley, disowning this one on the basis that it won’t “make either of us famous wits”. It’s true, the pleasures of our podcast isn’t in its comedic value. Rather, it is a study of incipient madness, the podcasting equivalent of Godard’s Weekend.
Enjoy.

Score.
I like the traffic jam bit. I hope people listen to the end. Not many podcasts have a real life death.
