Das Boot Cast

One of my favourite podcasts, in fact one of my favourite pieces of audio satire is the Whack My Bush podcast. It’s basically an over the top, 2DTV style caricature of the relationship between George Bush and Tony Blair.

WMB is written by Rikard Bell and Nick Hildred. They have been writing for BBC radio for 12 years; have written for Bremner Bird and Fortune and less impressively “various shows with Johnny Vaughan”.

They say they make Whack My Bush because the voices told them to and that “The voices must be obeyed!”

The show, in a series of 6 minute chuncks, tracks the ‘adventures’ of George, Tony, Fatty, Condi and The Governator. Although new shows are few and far between at the moment there is a MASSIVE archive that I’d suggest you go and check out.

You have to pay for Whack My Bush but the content is brilliant and original and well worth the very small subscription they charge. Subscription is just £6 for three months and gives you access to their massive archive of shows - when on track it used to include 3 shows a week as well but it’s still worth £6 for access to the archive.

The impressionists working on the show are VERY good and when you combine that with the fantastic writing, great production and split second timing - worth every penny.

The team have also put out other shows including a free one before the World Cup that followed the England football team.

Well now they have launched a new podcast called Das Boot. It doesn’t have a website that I can find yet but it is available through iTunes - I suggest subscribing and then listening over and over again - be near a toilet as you may well piss yourself.
