Lights! Camera! PODCAST! Welcome to another episode of the world's first photogenic audio podcast – A History of Comedy in Several Objects, featuring our own avant-garde supermodels: Doctor Oliver Double & Elspeth Millar. This episode will be on the cover of Vogue magazine* as we have a legendary comedian photographer Andy Hollingworth to discuss the archive's images. Despite being seemingly a visual episode, Andy's detail, Elspeth's expertise and Olly's questions really make this episode a snap success! They discuss photographic techniques, hilarious anecdotes and what an image really says about the comedian. An image says a 1000 words, so why don't you leave us a 5 star review on iTunes? *Figuratively speaking
