The Future History of the British Isles is an Apocalyptic Sketch Comedy Podcast Set in Nottingham
Sat 11 May 2019It’s dark, it’s dreary, it’s hopeless. No, we’re not talking about the current political climate (though we could’ve been); it’s the newest dark comedy podcasting feature to come out of the Midlands. The Future History of the British Isles takes a satirical look at the world we live in by blowing it up and starting over, this time with a lot more murder and mayhem. Before things finally go tits up, we managed to chat with writer and producer, Hugh Dichmont. He gave us the rundown on the show, the events that inspired it and the seemingly unstoppable force of the indie podcast medium.
10 Nottingham Podcasts You Should Check Out
Mon 06 May 2019There’s something strangely addictive about listening to podcasts. While most of them aren't glossy or scripted, that’s exactly what makes them so listenable. We’ve seen podcasts change lives (Serial Series One), spawn TV shows (Dirty John) and attempt to solve crimes that the police have long forgotten about (The Teacher’s Pet).
With many podcasts being recorded by random fans in living rooms all over the world, it all feels a bit DIY. It’s a culture that, when done well, can be incredibly fun, and seems to be having something of a resurgence of late. Don’t like the radio DJ? Change the station or, in this case, the app. It’s now possible to find a podcast on every subject, from gardening to grime. If its niche, you can guarantee there are nerds with mics discussing it.
With a decent number of podcasts coming out of Notts, and even more with strong links to the city, here’s a rundown of some of the best…
