Hey Fat Roland is a podcast about meeting people by me, Fat Roland. This is a proper cultured one, with Manchester Literature Festival’s Kate Feld, Contact Theatre’s Keisha Thompson (pictured) and Stirred Poetry’s Anna Percy. There are several litigious moments and I use the phrase “Penge’s Regret”. Producer Lee and I regress to our childhoods to talk about fighting and ghosts. This is episode six of ten.

Hey Fat Roland is a podcast about meeting people by me, Fat Roland. In this fifth feisty episode, I word-wrestle with Tales of Whatever’s Mark Powell, Speakeasy’s David Hartley and Evidently’s Ella Gainsborough. One of them has an amazing laugh. And yes Producer Lee is back kowtowing to my royal demands and getting all freaked in Malaysia. See if you can spot me saying “trousers” for no reason at all. Discretion advised: this podcast contains monkeys and rabbits. Do rate, review and subscribe!

I also meet proper singers in proper bands: Rocketship Forest’s Thom Hammersley and Monkeys In Love’s Laura Simms-Luddington (pictured). One of these three refuses to answer a question and I go all Paxman on them. Producer Lee and I talk comedy and glidding. What-ing?! Listen and find out. Do rate, review and subscribe!

Hey Fat Roland is a new fortnightly podcast about meeting people by me, Manchester idiot Fat Roland. In the second of ten tragic episodes, I speak about the Man Booker Prize with Wyl Menmuir and Nicholas Royle. I also waffle French with Sarah Clare-Conlon and talk teachers with Alex Webb. Producer Lee hits my lobbed words straight back at me like, er, a tennis person as we ponder upon skydiving and footballing. Hat doff to Salt Publishing. Apparently if you give this five stars on iTunes, a fairy dies. Stupid fairies. Get those five stars rolling in.
