Jesse on Josie Long: All The Planet's Wonders

British comic Josie Long and her producer Colin Anderson were kind enough to invite me to participate in their lovely BBC radio series "All the Planet's Wonders." My favorite part of the third episode (the one in which I appear) was this:

"Hi, Josie. Tell me some facts about owls!"
"Happy to."

I "act" in the production as a loudmouthed American television host. Which is close to my dream role, which would be in a radio adaptation of Slumdog Millionaire, in which I play the Indian host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and get to say, "Who wanttobeya MILLONAIYH!"

This was a suprise to me, i picked up trying is good the other day. as you are aware(i've seen you on Cook'd and Bomb'd) Josie long is a bit of a controversial subject.Are you aware of Lee and herring? Everything they have done is pretty much available at www.fistoffun.net. brilliant underated uk comedy from the 90's. they worked on onthe hour and came up with alan partridge, Truly unkown comedy behemoths.

I haven't seen Josie's comedy, but I really like the radio show. Plus, she likes The Sound, so she's cool with me.

I have instantly fallen in love with Josie and this program. I wish I could listen to the previous episodes.I like the owls bit as well, but the most notable sound has to be the loooong intake of breath by the BBC announcer after the show finishes. Either confused, exasperated or awoken from deep slumber, not sure which.

Oh man, I love this show. Everything from her "inherent dorkiness" to (in the latest episode, at least) the Andrew Bird in the background is just so darn twee and wonderful. @ Roman Mars - I think the episodes might be on UKNova.

Thanks for the tip, Sam.
