The Brownbread Tapes: Recent Episodes
Miles Tubb
Sidney Brownbread, self employed and freelance. Taking care of your business problems. Discretion assured, well unless you upset him. Don't ever do that. Each episode is a self contained monologue, stories of the various jobs Brownbread has undertaken. Most no more than three minutes long and backed by a suitable piece of old time music. Played directly from a 78rpm record.
The man with the 'mysterious' job needs to relax at times. What could be better than spinning a few discs, old shellac ones, of a 78rpm nature. Backed up with a bit of chat, Brownbread style, and a bit of other nonsense along the way. Here's his play list.

Off to the countryside again. A walk in the woods. Watching the wild life? A bit of stalking, possibly. If you down to the woods today, you better not go alone...especially in burgundy coloured trousers
Country house mystery? Not really, in the end. A notorious list of guests, an evening of fine dining and entertainment. A tragic end. It'll be the butler, it usually is!
North of the border and a delicious spaghetti bol but will Brownbread complete this job. Something is not quite right about it.
Its good to get out of the city, even when its work! A sunny day beside the river, flask, special stick.
All the fun of the fair. Well for some. Not for those in pointy light, tan shoes though.
Trouble upstairs for Brownbread. It's enough to drive a usually patient man to distraction... whistling and walking Les!
Human Resources...Human Resources!! Brownbread conducts a job interview, in his own inimitable style!
A three parter. Brownbread bakes in the Nevada desert. Then it all turns a little weird.
Brownbread's advice on dressing well. For goodness sake take heed will you. Its for your own good!
