RHLSTP (BATMCF) Special! - it’s Like the Leicester Square Theatre Podcast but it’s at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in Wales and is at the packed Y Tabernacle. It’s the first podcast since the show was nominated for a prestigious Sony so the pressure is on to keep the fellatio and bumming jokes to the highest standard. And the guests are rising stars and rival non-Sony award nominated podcasters Pappy’s (all they’ve got is a new TV series, the losers). There’s plenty of charity human centipede fun to be had with Huge Ackman, bleeding heads, Animal Antics, public nudity and the ham hand question is nearly destroyed, but becomes stronger. There’s a half-hearted attempt to put a shrek in it which shows that boat has sailed and too much self-pity. But it doesn’t matter, it’s not a proper London one!

HELLO YOU! It’s P-BAM 22. Ben, Matthew and Tom return from their enforced exodus in the podcast free desert and hurl themselves into the lush waters of the oasis that is P-BAM. Bathing in such hydrating topics as patriotism, owls and the fabric of time itself. Come on in dear listener, the water (podcast) is lovely (about 35 mins long).
Just a short podcast from Pappy’s to ask if you’d vote for them in the Chortle Awards. They’ve been nominated in three categories: ‘Character or Sketch Act’, ‘Best Show’ and (most importantly in Producer Ben’s opinion) ‘Best Internet’ for Flatshare Slamdown.
If you enjoy Flatshare Slamdown and can spare literally a minute to cast your vote we’d all be very grateful. But hurry! The deadline is Wednesday 6th March at 10am. Given we are posting this late there is every chance that by the time you read this it will be too late! It is a very simple process indeed - there’s no registration and you don’t have to vote in every category. Simply click here to see the voting form:

Big-hearted gangshow “Pappy’s” are the sweatiest, loveliest bunch of dickheads you could ever hope to see pretending to be in their twenties on BBC3. In this live show they discuss writing in a threesome, taking one for the team, and what makes critics “jizz themselves”. We also discover the painful truth about how they went from a four to a three, and learn how hard it is to write award-winning sketch comedy when you don’t know any of the hotkeys.
Arthur’s seat jaunt. For the final #flatslam of the series, Tom & Ben head up Arthur’s Seat with Producer Ben, Zoe Fell and Johnnie Ingram. Why? You’ll have to listen to episode 4.
Sara Pascoe and Nick Helm help Pappy’s summon up the ghost of Rufus Hound in this drunken final ‘Party’ episode of the series. Recorded at the Pleasance during the Edinburgh Fringe 2012, this is a booze-fueled slice of chaos, which, should you be that way inclined, you could use as the basis for a fairly messy drinking game yourselves (NB Pappy’s in no way endorse excess drinking, as this podcast will demonstrate very badly). In it, Helm attacks the Beefer Brown, Pascoe ‘outs’ a former #flatslam panellist, Parry gets a bit aggressive, Clark doesn’t know what’s going on and Crosby rhymes laptop with “Crap” and “Pop”.
It’s all here folks! Including our most ambitious Quickfire Jingle ever (Photos: http://pappyspodcasts.tumblr.com/post/35642291075/arthurs-seat-jaunt-flatslam), our first ever round whitewash and a whole host of bad language (in terms of both swears and actual awful speaking). Thank God this episode’s illustrator Rosie Cunningham brought calmness and skill to the party (you can find more of her work here http://www.analoguegirl.co.uk and by following her on Twitter: @illustrationetc)
We hope you’ve enjoyed this third series. The best way you can help us is to spread the word and get us some more listeners - that would be aces. Also, please do comment on iTunes, like us on Facebook, follow Pappy’s and Producer Ben on Twitter @pappystweet @_ben_walker and visit Pappy’s Tumblr. Pappy’s are also currently on tour so you can see them live.
Rhys Darby and Jason Byrne come to Pappy’s flat to fight over who is going to defrost the freezer. Recorded at the Pleasance during the Edinburgh Fringe 2012, this episode has it all… Tom delivering a true ‘festival moment’, Ben telling an awful anecdote, Jason’s truly unforgettable impersonation of a famous pacifist, Rhys suggesting they all play a game of ‘Escape From Cold Tits’ and Matthew revealing that he doesn’t like ice in his bottom. Thanks to Steph for her rubbish-bin-related beef and to Moose Allain (@MooseAllain) for his evocative art work.
