Chortle launches new podcast

Chortle today launches a new podcast featuring some of the best new comedy available on audio.

Every Wednesday for the next ten weeks, we will be offering the likes of Tim Minchin, Milton Jones, Miles Jupp and Gina Yashere – all of whom have new releases out on the Laughing Stock label.

Each week we’ll be offering about five minutes for free from each release, essentially enabling you to build up a free compilation CD. The full products are all available to buy in full from iTunes, while some are also available as discs from Amazon.

It is the latest podcast to be distributed by Chortle. In addition to the long-standing Peacock And Gamble podcast, we now also promote The Green Room, a backstage podcast with comedian Phil Butler and the ‘sodcasts’ from sketch trio The Trap,
