Hudson & Gaines

Big Words, Tough Talk

I heard about this from two places in quick succession – Podthoughts at MaximumFun.org and on Battleship Pretension, so I checked it out and enjoyed greatly.

It’s a parody podcast of US local talk radio. Now there’s been plenty of parodies of such things before, but what sets this apart and worth following is that between the level of production and the fact the central characters of Mike Hudson and Craig Gaines never become over the top, it maintains a level of believability. It’s more along the lines of a “I’m Alan Partridge” than the surreal and violent flights of fancy that Scharpling and Wurster’s tales of Newbridge involve.

I recommend starting from episode 1 as you’ll get a better feel of how the world of Great Haven and its environs grows.
