‘Outsiding’ podcast with Adam Frost and Caitlin Moran.

[NoCommentingFromNowOn]

I just read about a new podcast with Adam Frost and Caitlin Moran about gardening - first guest Bob Mortimer, second guest Kerry Godliman.

Haven’t listened yet but thought I’d put it here anyway.

Thank you, that sounds interesting I'll give it a try.

Soooooo. I listened.

In my opinion……way too much Caitlin Moran and her cackling and being chatty. Shed be great with her own podcast though. Not enough Adam Frost. Not enough garden sounds - they have little bits eg rain pattering on a roof, but they only last a few seconds. I wanted them to walk around the garden with microphones on their wellies so you can hear the swooshing of the grass, and crunching etc. There are other people in the background you can hear laughing. - maybe the sound people? Didn’t like that. Good guests but a lot of generic chatter.

I think my expectations were a bit too high, and also slightly misplaced. I was looking forward to a chilled out podcast hearing people talk about veg and worms and pottering and tea and sheds. I’ll listen again as they get more guests, plus it might change as the weeks go on, there’s only two episodes so far.

I’ve seen a few video clips of this and watch as I love Bob Mortimer but then I remember how annoying Caitlin Moran is. Otherwise it’s right up my street.

way too much Caitlin Moran
Say it ain't so! That sounds so unlike her.

She has a bit of that ‘ooh I’m mad, me’ vibe which is great! But not on a podcast with Adam.

Adam, if you’re listening, just go into your garden, do some digging and weeding, move your wheelbarrow from here to there, have a little chunter to yourself if you want to, slurp your tea, do some ‘ooh’s’ as you straighten up, carry on if it starts raining a bit, and record the whole thing. That’s all I want.
