Cooking listenings an that.

Like most people, I expect, I love listening to things when I cook.

Various sonic treats include; music, radio shows, podcasts, football, also the sound of the council estate behind my house, which is far more interesting than you might think. I'm pretty sure i've, audibly of course, witnessed drug deals, stabbings, marriage break ups and police brutality.

I find it relaxing (not the stabbings/brutality/marriage difficulty you understand), inspiring and occasionally hilarious, and genuinely think that it influences my creations in some way.

In light of this I thought i'd share with you some of my favourite musings whilst I am hunched over my chopping board;

The Adam and Joe Show Podcast - The second best podcast in living history.

The Guardian Football Weekly Podcast - Easily the best one. No questions.

The Jay and Silent Bob Get Old SModcast - Without question the most toilet humour in any podcast on the web, but also quite moving as its a kind of 'live therapy' session for Jason Mewes tracking his rehabilitation from heroin addiction.

5Live - For the football, obvs, although on a sunday, after the football, I really enjoy Pienaar's Politics and On the Money. Both very informative.

6Music - For music, obvs, I can't tell you guys how much I love 6Music, I nearly did a cry when they threatened to close it a few years back. I also, quite drastically, created a facebook group called 'Replace Fearne With Laverne' in case they did axe it completely. I am not a fan of Fearne Cotton, evidently.

Enjoy :)
