A Paul Kerensa Podcast

CATCHING UP... with James Cary

Tue, 24 May 2022 08:18:00 GMT

This time on this irregular podcast... (thanks for staying subscribed by the way - new episodes will pop up when you least expect them... honestly, you'll forget about us, then suddenly, hello! It's that writer of that thing or that author or that comedian or that person off the telly)

...it's James Cary!

Yes our most prolific guest. He's been on this podcast's earlier incarnation Comedians With Books. He's been on this podcast's even earlier incarnation The Heptagon Club.

Now he's here, mid-/post-/wherever-we-are-in-the-pandemic, to talk Christianity and comedy. Do they mix? Should they? And why not?

There's conversation about luck vs fate, humour in the Bible, his career plan as a writer who goes where the wind blows, and ample more.

James' writing CV includes My Family, Miranda, Hut 33, Bluestone 42, and many more.

James' books include The Sacred Art of Joking and The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer. My books include So a Comedian Walks into a Church and Planet Protectors. Buy them all! I recommend bookshop.org

James' podcast is Sitcom Geeks. My other podcast is The British Broadcasting Century. Listen to them all!

PK‘s Christmas Special 2021: The Top 10 Carols vs Festive Pop Songs

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 09:49:47 GMT

This festive fan/Xmas Xpert/Santologist couldn't POSSIBLY let Christmas go unpodcasted (just invented that word - I apologise).

So in this guestless episode, Paul runs down the Top 5 Christmas carols AND the Top 5 festive pop songs.

He's amalgamated several polls, surveys and charts (inc. Songs of Praise Favourite Carol, Classical Magazine's poll of experts, Classic FM's carol survey, global charts etc), weighted them accordingly, and presto! Some Christmas podding for you.

From The Pogues to Postman Pat, Mendelssohn to Michael Buerk, Bing Crosby to two versions of In the Bleak Midwinter, we'll unpick the back-story of our best-loved Christmas crooners, carols and chart-toppers. All in under ten minutes.

It's all based on Paul's festive history book: Hark! The Biography of Christmas, available now in paperback, ebook and audiobook (get it free on an Audible free trial, then instantly cancel!).

Or read Paul's Yule blog.

We mention Paul's festive parody song, A Fairytale of Bethlehem - it's viewable on Youtube.

You'll find a different Christmas podcast special on The British Broadcasting Century, looking at the stories behind a classic British Christmas TV schedule: podfollow.com/bbcentury

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 10:51:58 GMT

My guest this time is my old buddy from uni days, Rev "Random" Jon March. He's vicar of St Luke's, Kentish Town. You'll swiftly hear what earned him the nickname "Random".

Hear how he accidentaly did a Theology degree due to at least two admin errors... his analysis of words like 'several'... how he grew a church from literally zero... and his thoughts on how to build back a church after something like, say, a pandemic.

Jon's podcast The New Now, on leadership in changing times, is available here - and this episode has Paul as a guest: https://lnns.co/z2vOtYXZIha

He's presented Tomorrow's World, he's hosted the Gareth Jones on Speed podcast for 15 years (garethjones.tv/onspeed.html) - and we get into all of these things and more.

CATCHING UP... with Dan Willis

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 23:48:19 GMT

Hello stranger! It's been a while. It was at least one pandemic ago since we lost spoke. Or spoke here, at least.

So welcome to a new thing. A new irregular thing.

Appearing now and then, but specifically now: a random series of long-form unedited chats. Just catching up really.

This is recorded mid-lockdown, and with comedians unable to perform, one or two have got in touch and said: Let's catch up! I said: Sure! But I'm going to record it.

So Dan and I haven't chatted for about a decade. No reason. We just didn't gig together. You only chat to comedians if you gig together, or they have a podcast.

Dan moved to Australia, which at time of recording is largely freed up out of lockdown (though at time of editing, is back in lockdown again). So when we spoke, Dan was in quarantine having landed in Perth for their Fringe Festival. A few days into self-isolation, he was desperate to speak to someone. Hence this podcast.

We chat about the old days of the London stand-up circuit in the noughties, the time we both spent a week living in the Big Brother House, and I unearth my gig list tallying up every time Dan and I gigged together.

More soon. Or not soon. More some time, with someone else, inc Tony Vino and Paul Savage.

So stay subscribed, if you like.

And hey, this is an experimental longform podcast. If you don't like it, that's ok. It's free-wheeling, free-flowing, (contains some adult language) and TBH, by not editing it, I can focus on other projects, including:

- My other podcast The British Broadcasting Century

- My weekly Facebook Live show

- Things I put on Patreon. Sign up here for exclusive advance writings, videos etc.

- Writing, online live shows (hire me!) and other things I put on my mailing list - sign up here.

Stay subscribed, stay well, stay safe, staycation.
