The Oasthouse
Audible
Much-loved broadcaster, newscaster, sportscaster, thoughtcaster, and podcaster Alan Partridge has returned to the spoken-word entertainment medium with the second series of From The Oasthouse, The Alan Partridge Podcast.
Steve Coogan’s spoof character started on radio as a cringe-worthy broadcaster, so it’s no surprise he’s at home in the world of pods; it’s the perfect medium for his inane and inadvertently hilarious ramblings and awkward encounters.
This 11-part original sees Alan at his most intimate, and at a time of change in his self-credited superb life, following the success of his first series.
This time we re-join the broadcaster, writer, philanthropist, and one of the first public figures to suggest high-visibility clothing for people manning temporary car parks, after a period of upheaval.
He has lost his beloved dog, radio work, and presenting job on BBC television. His permanent demise is part of what makes Partridge such a hilarious and often sympathetic character.
In From The Oasthouse, he has, like so many broadcasters, turned to podcasting and, liberated from the burdens of broadcasting guidelines and dog ownership, Alan is happier and more interesting than ever – free to explore a raft of creative, physical and romantic outlets.
With time and energy on his hands, this newly unencumbered Alan-about-town, embarks on a range of fascinating activities in 11 revealing audio vignettes. From novel-writing to swimming, potholing to songmanship, day trips to dating – Alan searches to fill the void.
Remarkably, for a character who debuted more than 30 years ago, From The Oasthouse is Partridge at perhaps his funniest.
