The North South Divide

Welcome to the Christmas and New year edition of the North South Divide for 2008. This is special, as all of our podcasts are, but this one is special in an extra way; it is shorter than normal. I knew that you would like that.Just over a week ago we discussed doing a 5 minute long Christmas edition, and here it is a snip at only 18 minutes! A credit crunch bargain ladies and gentlemen that we can all enjoy. See? We can raise interest.We did make this in just over a week, from idea to now, so it goes to prove we can do it when we decide to. Thanks have to go to james who has toiled away while busy with proper work over the Christmas period, and both of us have also been ill. (In fact in most of the recording you can hear james coughing and sneezing and me succumbing to multiple organ failure. Still we carried on, that is how much we love you!)If you want to get in contact you can use the email address, leave comments, join the Facebook North Douth Divide group or wave a stick at the moon, it is literally up to you!Listen online!

So then, here it is NSD 8 - "Sky". Out in time for the next ice age, here it is in all of it's comedy glory. It is a different style for us, but we have to keep on moving otherwise we drown. Or is that running because the rhino will catch us? I forget. This podcast is a multi media extravaganza (Not Tony Danza, that's different) of truly epic proportions. Well here it is in audio, and when I wrote it I printed it out on paper. That's multi media isn't it? You bet yo' ass it is. Sorry, Bebo moment, if you want to listen online then click that link down there, and if you want to download scrolllllllly time folks. Enjoy responsibly, and this one is a little more adult than our previous ones. You might be okay with your kids hearing it, but please listen yourself first. Okay?

So then, it's been a while. How are you? You're looking great, and that new haircut really suits you. Anyway, I invited you here to have a listen to the latest North South Divide podcast. Yes we are still making it. I know it's been a while, and we haven't called, but we hope that you can forgive us. There actually have been some very good reasons, most of this was written in June/July just after the last one. Unfortunately james studio was flooded (see his blog for details) and then I was away for all of October on a training course, then my PC died... But still WE CONTINUE!Listen online If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element - please click below to listen or download.

If you are interested in writing, performing or anything else in the North South Divide please do get in touch. Thanks, and we hope that you enjoy it.

Here we are, cool on the heels of the Rock podcast comes Salvage, the latest podcast from the North South Divide.Like that difficult second album syndrome, Salvage took a little longer than we expected to produce, but that was due to james and me arguing, and our recreational drugs use.*As is the usual state of affairs with us, as there has not been a podcast for a while, the next one will be along soon.

Well, who would have thought it possible? A Christmas North South Divide special, what were the chances eh?So while you are tucking into the last mince pie, why not turn off the Queen and listen to our podcast instead? We promise that there are no guest appearances, no huge budgets allowing us to do much the same jokes, but in a different country. None of that here, our budget doesn't stretch even to a mince pie.Listen online If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element - please click below to listen or download.

(Well without him, this wouldn't happen, I may have a lot of the ideas, but he makes me do it. Can I come out of the writing cell now please?) Seriously he has slaved away over a hot copy of Cool Edit Pro to do this in time for Christmas, a round of applause please.Beth, for all of the help and support. And mainly for putting up with james and me in hysterics at inappropriate moments.Also to all of the other people who have given us support over this first year of NSD's, from the other voice actors, to the people who gave us ideas for sketches, to the lovely listeners many of whom have been very supportive. Thank you, and I cannot believe that I am typing this, Merry Christmas. I hope that this helps get you through the Festive period.Trev

The North South Divide is a collaboration between myself (Trevor Ship) and James Hart. (Alternatively known, cryptically as trev & james. or sometimes, just for the sheer hell of it james & trev). We're two blokes who live either side of the Watford Gap in the UK.Spoondance is the bizarre name for the episode known to its probation officer as 'number one'.You can add comments here, or you can email us at:comedy(at)mus-ic.co.ukListen online If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element - please click below to listen or download.
