Comic Samantha Baines launches one-minute episodes
You might think there are already too many comedians with too many podcasts.. but Samantha Baines’s new launch has the distinct advance of being just one minute long.
Her show, Silly News, offers a brief summary of one light-hearted newspaper story every day and lays claim to being one of the shortest podcasts in the world.
Each episode is little more than 60 seconds long – although the plea to subscribe and an advert doubles that running time.
Billing the show as ‘bringing you the news that really doesn’t matter', Baines said: ‘It is short enough to fit into any family or school commute.
‘I hope this new podcast makes people giggle and starts silly conversations, like: Would you wear a scarf made out of dog hair?’
Today’s episode is about Koira the Border Collie, who went viral three years ago with videos of her playing the wind chimes.
