Monthly comedy skits and chats. We've had material used in various shows including Canal Cafe Theatre's Newsrevue, (Edinburgh Fringe too), Brighton's Treason Show, the BBC and an array of satirical websites. Brilcast will be building on such former unknowns as the YHMBAR podcast (a melange of which is our first offering here) and other efforts. We'll be posting a few skits and chatting a bit about what we have learned about comedy writing. So y'know, short episodes probably.

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

After a few years of writing for a couple of topical news shows, I wanted to do something for myself. I'm also a horror for shouting at the radio or podcasts for not doing this, that or the other with the tools available to us now. This show is really just part of an ongoing love affair with audio.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

I hope it will reach the ears of the generation who've probably never even heard of a podcast. We played it to my 94 Yr old mum-in-law and she won't talk about anything else now and is cracking the whip to make me do more.

Which episode should someone start with?

Oh, just dive in anywhere, it's all short sketches of random nonsense.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

I constantly chuckle at Brian's line "triple smelly heck!" in the period drama letter-writing section. My wife did the female acting and I am still picturing myself trying to stifle laughter while she's in this tiny duvet-lined cupboard we recorded in. Honest.

Which episode are you most proud of?

All of them.

What is your vision for your show?

I'm really late on to the comedy scene so ideally to get a bit of investment so I can pay myself and others and perhaps create a platform for people of all ages to collaborate and create great audio content together and learn, learn, learn. Please just share it if we've raised a laugh though x

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

I'm usually busy and SO behind on what I should be listening to . I've just discovered Uncle Bertie's Botanarium which seems right up my street. Sciencey podcasts too, I like them.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

Brian and Hil 's podcast Bri L cast. Took ages.

Tell us a bit about yourself

I'm a survivor of much rubbish. Somehow still married with grown up daughters near and far. Love big and stupid dogs, often at Ipswich Town Football Club or on a bodyboard in the North Sea if storms are and sewage isn't.
