Ricky won't shut up
New podcasts just weeks after he 'quit'
Ricky Gervais has announced that he’s making more podcasts – just a month after he said he was quitting for good.In September, the comic said he was pulling the plug on his record-breaking internet broadcasts ‘before everyone hates us’.
But now he is to release three more shows to coincide with October, American Thanksgiving and Christmas, free on the Guardian website.
The new ‘Podfather’ shows are described as ‘a “thank you” to everyone who's supported the first three series of podcasts’.
But last month, Gervais said: ‘It's getting ridiculous and somebody has to make it stop. That somebody will be me. I'm not saying we'll never do any more, but I think we should knock it on the head for a while before every one hates us. We may already be too late.’
Gervais releases his first series of podcasts on a triple CD on November 13 – plus yet another new hour-long show.
