Ahem indeed, nothing about the spaghetti trees of Bow?

My favourite bit is the segment comparing London's river beaches to the tropical island of San Seriffe.

Phew... It took me three minutes to realise.
I have a total distaste for podcasts, and videos come a close second, with some exceptions where you specifically want to see something, but not 26 or 45 minutes, I can cope with the old limit of 10 minutes.
Why, oh why, do people just post these things without a synopsis, over and over again. Nothing, nada, not a clue as to the detail that interested me in the first place. On rare occasions, a transcript is provided, but them you nearly always have to download it first. No!
I don't care if people waffle on (within reason) and take ages to come to the point, as I can skim through text, speed reading being a hobby, but you can't skim listen to a podcast when the labouring of a point becomes torture.
Mark that down as a rant.

O.K. I thought as I published my previous comment, perhaps the podcast does not lead to a blank page, perhaps it is a double bluff, and the April fool is on us.
And, it is, as realisation slowly dawned on me. Congratulations!
Without wishing to spoil it for everyone else, I would say that the highlights can be found at 24.44 and 28.49 onwards, over and above the attention grabbing introduction. As ever the most interesting bits are near the end and, of course, you finish with a flourish. Encore...

And if you want to do a extra long version with double bus stop M news, I am in.

I think the commercial service which you paid to produce the transcript may be staffed by the people who write TV subtitles, to judge by the number of misspelled homophones and the like. (Unless you really do have a friend called "Buster Pam").
It was also not very clever to tell us where we could find the transcript in the podcast itself. I had to enlist the services of my assistance dog, and she got rather excited by the use of the term "backslash".

Oooh fantastic opportunity for you to include paying advertorials. After all,you will have equipment to pay for. You might also have to buy a vehicle as I understand the inside of one is the perfect sound recording booth. I have a lump on my cheek ... amy guidance on how to remove it? Perhaps you could also include an agony uncle segment in the podcast?

Leuconoe - you might have missed the kittens walking by around the 17 minute mark.

Perfect relaxing morning's listen. And forgive me for the classic mistake for assuming that, with the name 'Diamond Geezer' you would be male.
Absolutely perfect. Except for the typo at 3 minutes 15 seconds where you pronounced 'possibly' with just one S.

The background noise in your podcast led me to an expectation-based misperception. Around 24'30, and again three minutes later, there is some rattling noise which immediately sparked the association of a District line train. Later (why would there be no train for the first 20 minutes) it occurred to me it must have been someone going down the stairs.

Excellent! 30 minutes well spent!
If you are open to ideas for future broadcasts, may I suggest updates from the next train indicator at Bow station and perhaps a lively weekly discussion about the Mystery Count from a randomly selected panel of your readers?
Sponsorship could, of course, be raised through a "PR release" feature.
Can't wait for next week's podcast. You're onto a winner!

Ouch. Does that mean the four-decade-non-stop run of DG daily writing (most of them private of course) is going to end?

Readers with long memories might remember that DG has done Radio 4 before… not an April Fool (and it’s past midday).

I thought you may have included a few adverts.

To really get with the programme, 2017 style, you need to persistently tweet and otherwise promote blog posts you wrote years ago, while implying it is your latest work. That would be Diamondist Geezerist.

I don't know if it's your playlist or an algorithm, but I was so pleased that after you finished droning on, and after the Cadbury Egg Day advert, it cut to Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On (featuring MØ). Long time since I've heard it, and it cheered me up.
