   A Predator:  I only go the pictures to see films I want to see, so I never turn up "on spec" (which is probably a bit stupid as I have one of them unlimited cineworld cards for some fucking reason).

   
   

   AlbertTatlock: We have just chosen Episode 49 as a good stand alone episode from various reasons, however I would just advise somebody to start with Episode One and then endure the pain like the rest of us did.  And yes, Ed does call me by my real name when he is shouting me in for my dinner.

   Just listening to episode 49 now 'cause you suggested it as the best one to start from so I thought I'd remind myself what the fuss is about... and I'm really sorry Ray, but I think ghost might be my favourite "says a food." (Although religion is tied with it. And chocolate. And lettuce. So you're still kinda winning 3-1.)

   
   

   The Floella Benjamin section is fucking brilliant too, mind. Come to think of it I think she might have amazingly killed someone in my family...

   I remember that story, it was a newborn baby wot was all wrong in the head.  Outside I mean, not like a mental, I'm sure it was perfectly sane as newborns go.  As I recall it died quite quickly, I think it was even dead already in that picture, and the people walked about the village holding it up in a basket.  Presumably saying "come and see the dead freak baby because we don't have The Sopranos or The Shield or any of that good shit to watch, we just have old repeats of Only Fools and Horses like every other foreign place, so we'll just gather round and ogle the weird thing thanks."  That is definitely what happened.

   And it's name was probably Fraser.

   Speaking of Fraser, was at Wetherspoons yesterday and noticed that anyone who gets a letter published wins £20 of vouchers.

   
   

   Only a small prize, sure, but hey - I'm a student. Instantly thought "Hey, Mrs. Fraser could have a word."

    Do you like Star Trek at all Ray? Or any of the other sci-fi tv shows (Babylon 5 is best one ever really).

    to Ed: Ed, you look a lot like James Dean and a bit like a giant Kinder egg. Have you passed your driving test yet?

    Nope I don't really watch the television very much and the only shows I ever watched all the time were Boston Legal and 24 and the Super League.

    
    

    I don't like Star Trek no.  Well I liked the new film.  A bit.

    chris, I'm not sure I want to pass my driving test if I look like James Dean - cars didn't pan out very well for him.  

    
    

    A Predator, don't listen to Ray - he always watches things about motorway policemen and also Louie Spence and that is true.

    Oh I do watch Traffic Cops if it is on.  I sometimes watch Louie Spence on Sky Anytime but I'm not sure I like him after working with him...

    
    

    And I did say "all the time".  

    
    

    Now Ed we are meant to be rehearsing.  I am lay on the rehearsal room floor waiting for you to finish watching "babes" on the internet.

    Hi Ray and Ed

    I love your podcast and you keep making me laugh out loud on the train which is awkward because people probably think I need a wee with all the faces I pull to try and stop myself laughing

    Anyway Me and My friend Tom are starting our own podcast. You inspired me to do it! I've never done a podcast before and I have no idea what to do in it. I've only ever done radio. How did you get people to listen to it?

    Thanks

    Andrew

    Hey Ed, may seem like a random question but there is a reason behind it, do you know of the film Riki-Oh at all?

    Andrew,

    
    

    I have literally no idea how to get people to listen to a podcast. When we started our first one in 2007 there were very few comedy podcasts by comics around - in fact I can only think of ours and Gervais' but there must have been some others.  We put it out on chortle and itunes and hardly anyone listened to it I don't think (that is why so so many people ask where to find them now) but we kept doing it and built up a small audience.  That gave us a bit of head start with P&G but I think most of the listeners to the original Ray Peacock podcast have abandoned us now.

    
    

    Now the podcast 'market' is utterly over-saturated, iTunes appear to wish to squeeze indie podcasts out of the chart completely by streamlining everything and throwing indie shows in with major sponsored, never-ending BBC "best of" podcasts.  Getting to number 100 is now the equivalent of getting to number 1 from when we first started.

    
    

    So, with all this depressing news, I would say - just as we do - do it for yourselves, make something you would find funny, be as original as you can (no point mimicking Gervais or us or whoever) and some people will find it and like it and tell other people.  Some people will hate it and tell you.  

    
    

    Hope it goes well sir x

    Hello Ray,

    
    

     I've just started making my way through Kevin Smith's Smodcast's. I seem to recall seeing a picture of you at one of Smith's Q&A evenings asking a question. What did you ask Kevin and what was the response?

    Also have you listened to the "Jay and Silent Bob Get Old" podcast? It takes a nosedive after the opening 6 shows but definitely worth a listen.

    
    

    Thanks mister!

    Hello The_Fresh_Pen

    
    

    I did go to a Kevin Smith Q&A but I didn't ask any questions - think you must have glamourised the past.  I've only listened to 2 or 3 of the Get Old podcasts - I don't really listen to any podcasts but skip listened through those - didn't massively care for it to be honest.  I did like the earlier Smodcasts but got a bit bored with them (mainly due to the fluctuating lengths and line-ups) and I now think there is a slight chance KS is spreading himself too thinly on the podcast front but that is up to him and he has earned that I guess. 

    
    

    Still would consider myself an admirer of the man (and I've seen Cop Out, so that is saying something).

    I was wondering to Ray, as you seem to like to get up to some cheeky larks, have you always been like that, or is that something that you've grown into? Like, were you a well behaved little boy who's decided later in life that it's too short for being normal all the time, or have you always been a little bit rebellious?

    Don't think this can be done but here it is anyway. Please, please, please with nipples on top of cherries is there some way, any way, that you can find to let me change that picture of me on the left there. I look like a Ms. Pinky suck-your-cock head. Like something you wouldn't want found at Customs. Please help a poor blow-up doll-a-like. Please.

    untamed - always rebellious but not in a shitty way - never vandalised anything or stuff like that.  Always like it to be funny when I misbehave.

    
    

    And Tim, literally no idea - I don't do the technical stuff so really wouldn't know where to start - pretty sure they were all locked because of a virus or something.  Nood is your best bet.
