I started listening to My Dad Wrote A Porno after some pals wouldn’t shut up about it, I enjoyed it a reasonable amount but the people on it are really terrible. The book is already funny without some boring twat shouting over the top of the guy reading it out. Although having said that, some guy reading out badly written erotic fiction probably wouldn’t be that funny by itself either IDK.

there are some things you just cant come back from innit.

that is a very dishonest misrepresentation of my position

Al lot of the TAL episode is men writing in to complain about this trait in women’s voices

Yeah I had to stop listening to it. Hate all that self-referential, in-jokey crap. I mean obviously it’s A Good Thing if you’re not a curmudgeon because it’s building an inclusive relationship with one’s audience etc. etc. But I’m a curmudgeon. So I can’t stand it.

If there was one industry I didn’t expect to be DISRUPTED, it’s the online mattress industry. Loads of start ups in this one now ain’t there. You’ve got the Casper, and the Eve, and the Derek and the…

Great work lads. Now stop sponsoring my fucking podcasts.

Yes and he laughs at his own jokes, arrrrgh.

i can see how it’d sometimes be a good thing, it’s more just like chatting shit and whatever happens happens but it annoyed me when he’d have someone on and then ask them absolutely nothing they’d ever been asked a million times before

Its got kinda good recently with the live ones. And whenever Alice Fraser is on it’s very very good again

Speaking of which, ‘I do a podcast with Bob Mortimer’ just become a meme after beefing with Owen Jones on Twitter:

tbf OJ gives him a pretty good doing there. Not hard mind - Dawson is UNBEARABLE on twitter.

Almost as unbearable as Owen Jones in that Campbell interview wince

Yeah but he does also make the reasonable point that Owen Jones comes across as a total wanker in that video

He makes said point very unreasonably though. No need to be that nasty about it. Got a bit of justified blowback then started crying about it and blocking people. Very poor form.

Andy Dawson is unbearable.

  1. Prick on twitter
  2. ‘Get in the sea’ is shit
  3. Unfunny
  4. He made me question listening to something that involves Bob Mortimer

No time for him, hope he dies.
