#BALLS: The Weak In Sport, in your ears

Salutations, flogs. The year 2015, apart from being the eponymous Future in the Back To The Future series of fillums, marks ten years since Dr Yobbo's World of Bollocks first emerged online, in its original format of The Weak In Sport. And since 2015 is all about ill-advised journeys back in time, Your Correspondent has joined in league (and other codes) with long-time bloglaborator Beeso (of Lantanaland, formerly of Mother Foccacia) to launch what amounts to The Weak in Sport in podcast form:

INTERNET, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A PODCAST, BUT NOW WE HAVE A TWITTER. LOOK UPON OUR #BALLS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR. pic.twitter.com/zUlE88qVjr

The seeds of this terrible terrible idea came when Your Correspondent guested on Beeso's Cheeee(eeeee?)sy podcast last year - initially with a very brand-compliant (for me and for Beeso's podcast) pub chat about beer, wine and foodie things, then a pinot-driven argument about basketball and Karmichael Hunt's inadequacies (some of which may have been explained post-hoc). This, in effect, was the pilot episode for #BALLS.

After months in the planning (translation: much faffing about ordering mics and testing connections) #BALLS dropped (har har) officially this month, with two eps now in the can and available wherever good podcasts are available, and shit ones like ours. Including, to the astonishment of all involved, the iTunes Store:

Clearly Apple's standards have dropped off since Jobs did likewise #BALLSoniTunes

As noted shoutily above, not only do we have a podcast (which will drop weekly, usually recorded on Fridays or Saturdays, late at night over an beverage or several) but we also have a Twitter account, and an email address for feedback. So far feedback has largely centred upon the dimensions of our penis(es) and how we are in need of augmentation in that area, which is disappointing, as these listeners clearly have us confused with Kyle Sandilands.

The good news for World of Bollocks fans (both of you) is that this also means STUFF IS ABOUT TO OCCUR HERE TOO. I'll be using WoB as a sounding pad for ideas during the week which we might kick around on the weekend. Which means YES THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE OCCASIONAL FUCKEN POST HERE FOR A CHANGE. WAHOOOO.

Anyway. So there's that.

 

The Doctor is OUT.
