'knuckles' - the new episode - is here!
23 Sep 2008 @ 05:01 am



Listen online (broadband version)


It is available for download in two different file formats this time, we want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the North South Divide!

Knuckles.mp3

Knuckles.mp4

Both were uploaded on the 28th March 2006; if you are not sure which one to download, start with the mp3 one, as this is more often compatible.

The next North South Divide should be along in a couple of weeks this time. Sorry for the delay with this one, but I have been very ill.

If you like (or heavens to betsy, dislike) the podcasts please feel free to let us know. You can post comments on here, we will read them. Honest.

If you prefer the more personal approach, or simply want to send ill-thought-out abuse, why not try comedy(at)trevs-shed.net?

The North South Divide

Spoondance is the bizarre name for episode number one

Listen online (broadband version)


The North South Divide is a collaboration between myself (Trevor Ship) and James Hart. (Alternatively known, cryptically as trev & james. or sometimes, just for the sheer hell of it james & trev). We're two blokes who live either side of the Watford Gap in the UK.

'gorgonzola' - from the cheesiest puffs
23 Sep 2008 @ 05:00 am


...of the world of podcasting. ;)

It's the podcast that you have all been waiting for, well, attempting to avoid...

Gorgonzola, the third North South Divide podcast is here, we hope that you like it. All of the usual lines of communication are open for any feedback. Remember we crafted this comedy nugget for you, because we love you.*

Listen online (broadband version)


Gorgonzola 11.5mb, and unfortunately currently only available in plain old mp3 flavour. I hope to be uploading the AAC version later in the week.

If you are confused about the difference between file formats, there is no better place to start than here:

We hope that this helps with any confusion regarding the differing file formats.


* A love coupon redeemable in participating Trev's shed's is available on request. (This is not true okay?)

'kranken' - finally brought fourth!
23 Sep 2008 @ 04:59 am


Like a workaday prank on a new starter, it's been a long weight, but it's been worth it, just to see the look on the poor sap's face (sorry about that, Trev).

Yes... this blog post marks the return of North South Divide comedy podcast action after a long hiatus.

Well, who would have thought it possible? A Christmas North South Divide special, what were the chances eh?

So while you are tucking into the last mince pie, why not turn off the Queen and listen to our podcast instead? We promise that there are no guest appearances, no huge budgets allowing us to do much the same jokes, but in a different country. None of that here, our budget doesn't stretch even to a mince pie.

Alternatively, here are the download flavours available today:

Download
There's the sage and onion stuffing of "The Reckoning" 64k Mp3 (11.51Mb)

Or the chestnut puree of "The Reckoning" AAC/Mp4 (13.35Mb)

I would like to take this chance to thank all of the people that make this podcast possible:

james, without whom... (Well without him, this wouldn't happen, I may have a lot of the ideas, but he makes me do it. Can I come out of the writing cell now please?) Seriously he has slaved away over a hot copy of Cool Edit Pro to do this in time for Christmas, a round of applause please.

Beth, for all of the help and support. And mainly for putting up with james and I in hysterics at inappropriate moments.

Also to all of the other people who have given us support over this first year of NSD's, from the other voice actors, to the people who gave us ideas for sketches, to the lovely listeners many of whom have been very supportive. Thank you, and I cannot believe that I am typing this, Merry Christmas. I hope that this helps get you through the Festive period.

Here we are, cool on the heels of the Rock podcast comes Salvage, the latest podcast from the North South Divide.

Like that difficult second album syndrome, Salvage took a little longer than we expected to produce, but that was due to james and me arguing, and our recreational drugs use.*

As is the usual state of affairs with us, as there has not been a podcast for a while, the next one will be along soon.

If you are interested, there is now a page on my blog that tells the exciting tale of how we forge the NSD podcasts from the pig iron that comes out of my brain, here. Also there is a list of the kit that we use, here. With photos of our studios, how can you resist? How could any well balanced... No? Okay.


*This is not actually true, but the truth is far more dull I am afraid.

Woodn't it be good?
23 Sep 2008 @ 04:54 am



So then, it's been a while. How are you? You're looking great, and that new haircut really suits you. Anyway, I invited you here to have a listen to the latest North South Divide podcast. Yes we are still making it. I know it's been a while, and we haven't called, but we hope that you can forgive us.
There actually have been some very good reasons, most of this was written in June/July just after the last one. Unfortunately james studio was flooded (see his blog, link on the left) and then I was away for all of October on a training course, then my PC died...

But still WE CONTINUE!

We have started on the next one, so hopefully it won't be as long this time, but it is an intensive project for basically the two of us. If you are interested in writing, performing or anything else in the North South Divide please do get in touch. Thanks, and we hope that you enjoy it.

You'll never guess what. Halfway through the preparation for the next long-awaited North South Divide, we were invited to wreak havoc on someone else's cherished podcast.. imagine.. Trev and me.. let out of our padded cells.. oh the humanity!

So, prepare yourself for half an hour of music and two oafs larking about, while over 150 miles apart. Surely that is Web3.0?

Listen.. learn.. eeyore*!
