The email explained that she is putting together a festival programme and thought that it would be fun to include some “quirky bits from the performers.” Well,…

Come with me on a walk through rural Sheffield, where I come facetoface with a punning mugger. Download the audio adventure here http://media.blubrry.com/dollop/davideagle.co.uk/wp-admin/dollops/dollop187.mp3

However, I am not going to do a David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, 80 % of labour MPs, Chris Evans and the…

So strong in fact that it managed to thwart this daily blogging challenge. I’ve managed to publish a blog everyday for the last 183 days, but yesterday’s Dollop wasn’t published until 11am today.

Just as you thought this week couldn’t get any weirder, I’ve been chosen to be the person who hands over article 50. No, obviously I’m being hilarious there; we’re actually playing a festival in Belgium this weekend. We’ve already…

And so, in a change to our advertised programming, it’s time for the tenth and possibly final part of our reel-to-reel tape based mystery. If you haven’t caught up with the previous nine parts yet, then I’d recommend you listen to those before listening to this one, otherwise it won’t really make much sense. I’ll…

In his victory speech on Friday, he trumpeted that Brexit had been won without a single bullet being fired, failing to acknowledge the fact that a Remain campaigner…

Download the audio version of today’s Dollop here http://media.blubrry.com/dollop/davideagle.co.uk/wp-admin/dollops/dollop179.mp3 For the last few months, BBC radio 5 Live have been solidly covering the EU referendum, and they’ve been playing out the same trail for ages. It’s a ridiculous trail, as it chooses a couple of clips which don’t at all back up the whole message…
