Welcome to our brand new podcast, Ragbag Presents. Here's an introduction to what it's all about.Brollywood blurb: After losing his home, then accidentally burning down another one, Frank is reunited with his former cellmate, Noddy. Noddy, despite evidence to the contrary, is still alive, and is very concerned about the disappearance of a set of plans to steal millions of pounds from a mysterious group of British film stars. Brollywood lifts the lid on the ultimate underground society, the greatest con-trick of all time, and the best-kept secret in showbusiness. It's a story about love and friendship, as well as a handy guidebook on how to pull off a bank heist during a global pandemic.

Frank launches a bid to become an edgy comedian by telling eighteen jokes about being arrested. This week’s guest is the multi-talented and endlessly interesting Martin Zaltz Austwick, AKA Pale Bird. Martin’s new album is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Lily Sloane called I Told You How Important You Would Be. Martin talks about the process of recording the album from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He also tells Frank about recording the album, Year of The Bird, while travelling the world, and the experience of analysing every single Tom Waits song for the Song By Song podcast. (Martin’s also a podcasting legend, by the way.) Featuring the songs Personal Space, The Cascade Mountains and Pocket Full of Bones.
