Podcast #15 is here, with a special guest in tow. Charlie Brooker settles in for a nice, long interview on the hottest day of 2011. We talk about his career, from its beginnings, when he would fire off submissions to Oink! comic at the age of sixteen, right through to what he’s got lined up next.
Also under discussion: what it’s like to transition from journalist, to presenter, to performer; the symphony of nodding heads that is Twitter and the hitherto unexamined power that cameramen can hold over comedians.
Hope you enjoy it, and many thanks to Charlie for being so generous with his time.

Excellent, looking forward to hearing this, thanks!
Can I be a tosser and point out you don’t need an apostrophe in the “it’s” in “it’s beginnings” there.
