Radio Mong: Colin Jones Has Issues

Hello The World,

This is the second part of my ill-fated Radio Mong series, which was given away at my ill-fated comedy night in 2008. Ill-fated. The plan for Radio Mong was to create 12 radio shows, each parodying a different aspect of commercial radio, and have them fit together to make a spoof station (which is why this show has the Brian Boyle recap, and the sports show is advertised again).

'Colin Jones...'s main problem is that it's too long, and there are too many parts where nothing is happening. Plus, believe it or not, my voice doesn't work as a shockjock Adrian Littlejohn-tosser-type. Looking back, maybe I should've took on the Brian Boyle part and Rich should've been Colin Jones. OH WELL. What else? Yeah, there is a string of phonecalls from different characters which are all voiced by the same person. That was daft. Also, the reveal at the end wasn't as good an idea as I thought it was. It was like pressing the ejector seat button before the plane nosedives.

Rusty Lee hasn't sued yet. She should.

I love you xxx

Radio Mong: The Brian Boyle Show

Hi?!

This is the oldest recording I have of my ego. It's a parody of commercial radio breakfast shows (no one in particular, promise) which I did with my good friend Rich. He plays Brian Boyle, 'The Saviour of Radio', and I play his sidekick 'Slightly Cold' Dan.

One year on, and this has aged badly in parts. There are two Madeleine McCann jokes, which were barely funny at the time, and the sports radio advert is a shameful broadstroke. I still like the loan one though, and Rich is brilliant as the egomaniacal host.

My friend Sophie can also be heard on this, and is very good. The whole show would have been a write-off if Boyle turned out to be quite likeable, and she keeps him detestable by playing the perfect girlfriend.

Yes.
