Iain Lee VS Radio: Recent Episodes
The Iain Lee Vault
Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless… Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can't say on the radio? These are the clips that all radio presenters would rather you forgot, and Iain has collected them into an hilarious show that also tells his story of how he reluctantly ended up working for some of the biggest (and smallest) radio stations in the country.
Well, this podcast was created to plug the tour. And then, as per, I got distracted or bored or whatever and stopped kind of using it for that.
Anyway, it looks like we made it. This is Totton. This is the last night of the tour.
Whilst trying to have a cheeky doze, I was disturbed by my house phone ringing.
No one knows my house number, not even me. This had to be urgent. It was. A young lady told me computer was at risk from viruses, luckily, she could help me...
Recorded during my Iain Lee Vs Radio tour at Jacksons Lane Theatre in North London on Thursday October 8th 2015.
I had it on good authority that a caller from the LBC days who I hadn't spoken to for years was in the audience. Well, I couldn't let this special moment go unannounced so I did something very special for her.
I've interviewed Brian at least twice. Once was for LBC and then this one. Was there a third? Possible. He did call me at home once (that is actually true) and I cried for an hour afterwards.
Interviews with Brian are always tricky...he's not very well and he fluctuates but...well...it's BRIAN BLOODY WILSON!
I got to interview Glen Campbell. A big, powerful legend of a man who was already at this stage being weakened by shitty Alzheimers. Broke my heart. At the end of the interview, he tried to leave with me. I had to re-introduce him to his band and his wife.
Second show of the tour and it was in beautiful Whitstable. Shame it was during the last night of the oyster festival. Whitstable was nuts, but not for me!
With a little over 24 hours to go until the second show in my tour, I am, obviously, petrified!
You know what a maidenhead is, right?
Anyway, July 8th. My first gig of my first ever tour of my first ever solo show. Gulp. I got there too early and forgot to do loads of stuff I meant to do.
and I am trying to put the show together. Well, I have the show but now I'm trying to put it together. No. But I am in Bristol.
OK. So I recorded an episode 7 and uploaded it. Turns out it was all jumpy. So I recorded a second episode 7. That was a little bit jumpy. But not as much. Then I thought sod it and put them both together, in the wrong order. They are a little bit jumpy.
Another episode of the fun packed, laugh riot that is this. It's evolving, and it's free, so, thanks for keeping with it. Not sure where it's going but it might be somewhere special. Or it could be a load of old bollocks.
Sat in a hotel room after a long and mixed day, I'm really starting to wonder if going on tour is perhaps the worst idea I've ever had. I whinge a bit. And answer your questions.
Here we go. The Mysterious Salome is furious with a small, independent business. So she tries to tear it down. Good for her.
Don't ever put fireworks up your bum.
The Mysterious Salome helps flog this dead horse. And special guest Scott Balcony guests.
OK...so at the age of 42 I've decided to do my first ever solo show AND my first ever tour. This is obviously ridiculous. What if no one comes? Gulp.
