Reload News

 

Way, way back in the mists of time (October 2005) we were asked to contribute to the Reload Podcast, a jolly project from some long-haired student types.  Eschewing the classic wisdom of never working with children or animals (students count as both) we agreed to provide a humourous news slot, so in Reload News 1 we made fun of real news stories whilst still getting some information across.

Unfortunately, the rest of the podcast was actually far less serious than expected so our piece came off as a little slow.  However, by a magical stroke of luck everything else in the first podcast was uniformly dreadful, so nobody noticed and we seemed like GODS OF COMEDY in comparison.  From Reload News 2 onward the whole 'useful truth' idea was replaced with 'silly lies', and a formula was born.

So: To the left are the comedy news pieces, ripped out of the podcasts and slapped into a little media player thing.  The files are divided up into the trailer for each item, and the News itself.

Exciting extra bonus!  Also included is an extra, hugely fake Exam Advice piece which appeared in the third podcast.  It's at the end of the playlist, Track 11.
