Torty Talks from Simon AnthonyComputers - why bother - remounted.This is a re-recording of a story I wrote decades ago and updated a few decades later and recorded one decade ago - so the original sounds a bit ropey. What does rope sound like I wonder... Anyway, I shall recreate all my old recordings I think. If I do, this shall be the first one ! It tells the tale of the dawn of personal computing and its impact on my life - note - forty years ago. I must ell a new tale starting from where this one ends, don't hold your breath though.

Torty Talks from Simon AnthonyThoughts before going LIVE on airAs I write and as I create this podcast, I am getting ready for a live TV debate. I have been on live TV many times before, but somehow this feels more real. It's a Politics Special and I am expected to say something, directly to politicians - sadly, about whom I know nothing, but I know a lot about trying to be one. This is what this podcast is about - in part. #TortyTalks #SimonAnthony #TortoisesoftEnterprises #acting@torty.org.uk #Comedy #ComedyPodcast

Anyway, I have nicked /edited out the bits from one hour long improvised drama transmitted in May 2019. The show in full is broadcast on http://galaxyafiwe.com/ at 5pm every Friday. The second half is audience participation - call the characters and ask/tell them what's going on - and we reply in character.
