For six years I did a comedy radio show called A Walk in the Black Forest, which was basically a panel show where we’d talk about current events, pop culture and weird shit from the Internet. That was ten years ago, and since then a lot of commercial radio shows have picked up on things we were doing. (yes, we’ve had people confirm their theft)
After a four year break, due to “creative differences”, the three of us got back together for a reunion show, which went to air on 6th August 2005, almost four years to the day. This enclosure is a copy of that show.
We’re currently thinking about whether we should start the show up again, but podcast it as well as broadcasting it on radio. What do you think? WBF is an acquired taste, and takes a few listens to get all the layers. I think that was part of the beauty of it, different people could listen and have completely different views of what happened. There’s also a lot of in-jokes, which people would only get if they listened from week to week. This show is no different.
While this reunion show wasn’t particularly good by our standards, it’s a fair indication of our style. We used to do a lot of special segments as well, but we didn’t for this one. I’d love some feedback, particularly from people outside Australia, where the humour may not go down as it would here.
Sorry about the size too, and the quality. The tracking went quite bad for the first few minutes.
