Talking Milligan (with Darrell Maclaine)

We’re on a slightly more literary tip this week as actor, composer & voiceover artist (and YouTube sensation!) Darrell Maclaine steps into the pod to talk about growing up on a steady diet of Spike, such as A Book of Milliganimals and his books & poetry in general, and how it helped him ignore his draughty portacabin classroom & nurtured his comedy sensibilities. He also talks about Spike the man and how he perceived him as a child of the nineties.

There’s also a chance to hear Darrell’s stirring clarion call for the preservation and championing of the past, which is in part a demand that our cultural heritage not be easily dismissed because it’s ‘old’ - a rousing declamation which I’m sure will swell in the breast of every dedicated tapehead, archive enthusiast and listener to this podcast.

All this and much more!
