Southside Podcast

The Southside Podcast ran for 102 episodes between 2007 and 2010. It comprises interviews with a varied collection of interesting folk and an array of celebrities including, Sir Patrick Moore, Sir Jimmy savile, Nicholas Parsons and David Vine. We also had regular contributors such as television director Graeme Harper, who is the only person to have worked on both the old series and the new incarnation of Doctor who, as well as directing Torchwood and Robin Hood. . David Eagle also provides a mix of one-off features, radio dramas, sketches, song parodies and games, as well as annoying the station manager by talking a lot and often mercilessly picking holes in the station’s output.

You can read more about the concept behind the podcast, as well as how and why it met its demise in this blog post.

“This week: Data protection law, icecream and PR. Last week was national icecream week and to celebrate, Southside spoke to Mr icecream Matt O’Connor about some of the stranger types of icecream on the market and revealed some unusual, icecream related statistics. There’s also a special, exclusive to the Southside Podcast, icecream joke. How do icecream men move? Find out by listening to this week’s podcast. The icecream theme continues with Taylor Herring PR who are responsible for flying Italian opera singer Marcello Bedoni from Italy to a field in England to perform for a herd of cows all in the name of icecream. We find out why and hear about some of the crazy stunts that PR companies have devised to promote their projects, including sailing an iceberg down the Thames and landing a spaceship in Lester Square. There’s no mention of icecream in our discussion with solicitor Susan Singleton about data protection law, although given enough time and money I’m sure we’d be able to manufacture some kind of semi-plausible link. Take heed radio presenters one and all as podcast presenter David Eagle provides some ideas for revolutionary radio features as well as helping out a fellow colleague devise the perfect promo. So “pod on” (Ludwig van Beethoven style) to the 88th Southside Podcast.”
