Brain Cigar

Writers Peter Baynham (Borat, I’m Alan Partridge, Brass Eye, The Day Today, Arthur Christmas) and Jeremy (Jez) Simmonds (Number One in Heaven, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Up Late, Crash!) discuss world events, TV shows, movies, music, books and products that they remember very clearly, even if you don’t. All this whilst caring for deceased Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie and unwillingly broadcasting John ‘Throat’ Church’s autobiography The Architecture of Bacon. Please try to understand. Brain Cigar is an Ambulenz Podcast produced by Francis Jones. Creators’ note: Since the first six episodes of Brain Cigar were lost in a tragic server crash that also claimed the first 38 instalments of H from Steps' Guide to Affordable Laptops, the podcast currently begins at Episode 7. We apologise for any inconvenience.
