Customer Reviews
Cool Beans & Brilliant stuffs!
But not in a "I just said 'cool beans' so I'm a retard" kind of way. The Absolute Peach is a great little amateur podcast from the sunny shores of England. And I mean amateur in the best possible way. No scripts, no shite jungles (or jingles) and nice and casual atmosphere. It's brought laughter, happiness & joy to my otherwise boring Friday afternoons...and to my Friday evenings, when I invariably re-listen to it with my brother! 5/5 - Would reccomend it to anyone looking for some original comedy podcasting. (And no, I didn't just right this for TAPAS!)
Not bad
Sort of Adam and Joe meets Gervais, Merchant, and Pilkington. Well worth a listen. Chav watch, You got 20p mate. Genius
The Golden Age of podcasting, in one podcast.
Looking at "what other people subscribed to" I find some of my favourite comedians of these times, Stephen Fry who opitimises the words 'british intellectual', Russel Brand and his hollywood expeditions, and the famous "best bits of Chris Moyles", the less said about which bits the better. But the point is that the Peach couldn't have more suitable line up to be associated with. I know that on Chris Moyles podcast's page and what his 'listeners also subscribe to' probably won't be "The Absolute Peach", but why the heck not! These guys return to what podcasting was originally all about, and why now it really is one of the most trusted forms of media. All the 'celebrities' mentioned above have just taken podcasting and twisted it subtley into another form of publicity. The Peach really is coming from a different place. If anything these two mini-geniuses take this form of podcasting to another, even better level. Normal discussion, which is so much better than normal! Imagine your two best mates were gold comedy talent, and they were on tap. It's only when you join their forums that you realise they aren't gods! (theabsolutepeach.com/forums join now because your gonna like it). So why shouldn't The Absolute Peach be up their crammed up next to Chris Moyles' best bits, because these guys really know what it's all about.
