Perfectly Good Podcast - Featuring Tripod and Andrew Pogson

Pst! We’re back! For a very special SPECIAL episode of Perfectly Good Podcast. And why put the band/pod back together? Because it’s the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Tripod are doing THE WHOLE RUN. All 22 shows of it – scary. And what’s more Andrew Pogson is Producing. What’s a “Producer” actually do? Don’t you worry about it… let Poggo worry about it. It’s better that way.

We made it Folks! We’ve hit that traditional time of year again with the PGP Christmas Special. Rejoice one and all! And what Christmas Special would be complete without a special guest? And what better special guest than Father Christmas himself: Casey Bennetto! Casey joins us for not only some lively chats but also we throw down the gauntlet and force Casey to perform his own Song in 20 Minutes BUT this time he has to do it in real time whilst on the show. How does he do? Well, listen on friend… And finally we must thank our Patreon supporters for all of their support throughout a long and tough year. Without them things would have been a lot lonelier on the live shows and, certainly, a lot harder to pay our bills. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts <3 And with that, we’ll leave you to enjoy the finale of our labours. Merry Christmas to you all!

Here we are again, coming at you with the penultimate episode of Season 5 – many would say one of our more successful seasons since Season 4. Not only do we begin with the now legendary “Intro in (sort of) 20 Minutes” but we perform the winning song from last episode, Gatesy’s superb “Another One”. I’m sure you’ll agree that’s it’s a wonderful almost-finale to the year. But there’s more of course! A NEW set of candidates with a distinctly Christmas feel. Who will win the battle for the holidays?! Only you will know (after you listen – it’s how it works). As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. And with that, we’ll leave you to soak up the product of our tears and sweat (ewwwww). The post Episode 82: Penultimate Songs in 20 Minutes! appeared first on Tripod.

Is it that time again? Season 5 Episode 10! And with double digits comes double the laughs and double the fun. Also, double for your money. Also double trouble. TEN! In this episode we hear the result of last episode’s winner of Song in 20 Minutes “Karen”. How did this topical song turn out? Turn in! As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. And with that, we’ll leave you to lap away at the fruits of our labours.

Here we are again – Season 5 Episode 9, with more of the good stuff. That stuff? Songs in 20 Minutes of course(!) with the winner of last episode: Simon Hall’s “I Hit Enter Too Soon”. What ever will the team do with this strange (and winning) offering? Tune in! Oh! And we have three more contenders for song supremacy. Who will win? There’s no way of knowing… As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. And with that, we’ll leave you to endure (and enjoy!) the fruits of our labours. The post Episode 80: Here It Is, Some Songs in 20 Minutes! appeared first on Tripod.

In Season 5 Episode 8 we bravely face another gruelling week of Song in 20 Minutes challenges. Who will be victorious in the never-ending battle for supremacy? Poggo? Yes. Featuring the finished “studio” version of “What Is There Left To Drill” along with all the usual banter and bumpers. As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. And with that, we’ll leave you to the aural pleasure (ewww) that is this episode.

In Season 5 Episode 7 we continue the dark journey to song perfection with another offering of three songs BUT we also get another brand new intro AND the results from last episode’s winner. What a JAM PACKED EPISODE! Tune in won’t you, while we regal you with tales of things from our lives and lay some sweet sweet harmonies onto your ear drums. As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. We must also thank very sincerely, and acknowledge our support from The City of Melbourne with their Covid-19 Arts Grants. Surely the greatest city in the world (lock down or no)! See you in the stream… well, not *in* it. The post Episode 78: Yet Again, More Songs in 20 Minutes? appeared first on Tripod.

In Season 5 Episode 6 we proceed with not three, but FOUR Songs in 20 Minutes (sort of). And even better is you don’t have to wait too long for the first one. It sets a low bar… Tune in as we hear more tales, hear more songs, and also hear the result of our labours on Episode 5’s winner “Interstate Angel”. It’s a real beaut! As always me must thank our awesome Patreon supporters. Without them this show would be very hard to maintain (and justify to our partners and families). Love you all lots. We must also thank very sincerely, and acknowledge our support from The City of Melbourne with their Covid-19 Arts Grants. Surely the greatest city in the world (lock down or no)! See you in the stream… ewwww. The post Episode 77: Again, More Songs in 20 Minutes?! appeared first on Tripod.

In Season 5 Episode 5 (double fives, high five!*smack*) we continue down the path of 20 minute songs made good. In this episode we hear the result of winner Scod with “Lost Socks” – where Tripod takes it is anyone’s guess. AND we gain THREE more songs to toss onto the pile of selection. Three men enter, one guy chooses, three (or four I guess?) men then leave… after, a winner is picked. Clear enough? I thought so. ANDD! We must thank our wonderful supporters at Patreon – you can support too if you’re not already, right here! We love these folks very much. They are both good looking AND successful. You could be too! ANDDD! We must also thank very sincerely, and acknowledge our support from The City of Melbourne with their Covid-19 Arts Grants. Surely the greatest city in the world (you know it’s true)! AN…. nope, we’re not doing that anymore – if you’re not able to support the podcast on Patreon, spread the love by telling a friend they should check it out, or perhaps leave us a sweet 5 star review on iTunes etc. We’d very much appreciate it! See you in the show… The post Episode 76: Yet More Songs in 20 Minutes Again appeared first on Tripod.

In Season 5 Episode 4 we continue our journey through the creative world of Song in 20 Minutes with last week’s winner “Pluto”, originally by Scod but with many elements added by Tripod. Enjoy the fruits of their labours! We also see the return of fan favourite segment “Two Stories” (I can *assure* you it’s a fan favourite) where it is revealed that one of us has a corona virus, or does it? That’s what makes it Two Stories (that’s how the segment works yeah?) along with many other musings. A full episode as always. Lastly we’d like to acknowledge the financial supporters of this show – the City of Melbourne and, of course, our wonderful Patreon subscribers. Without them both we would be a bunch poorer and a bunch sadder. Wow! What a note to end on. So let’s end on this note – we very much hope hat this episode brings you some joy and happiness to your day. We certainly enjoyed creating it for you. The post Episode 75: Yet More Songs in 20 Minutes appeared first on Tripod.

We’re back with another episode of songwriting with the results from episode 2’s winner “9PM PJs” along with three new songs to battle it out for supremacy. Who will win? No one knows… well, I know, but I also spent time editing the show AND I was on the show so I have a pretty good idea. Also, I chose the winner. So you *could* say I *really* know who won. A big thank you to new supporter of PGP Season 5: The City of Melbourne! A big thank you to them for their generous support… and congrats on being the greatest city – all other cities are like featureless wastelands, devoid of culture and creativity by comparison. Episode Notes: 00:00 – Three episodes in and no cold open? It truly is a new way of doing things. 01:00 – A segment *this* early on? What’s The Best That Could Happen? 07:24 – A shout out to the City of Melbourne 17:38 – Tripod break into song 25:43 – It’s Scod: Flick Licker… or is it? 27:50 – OK, it’s actually a Remoter Head 38:05 – We’re here for the main event; the result of last episode’s Song in 20 Minutes winner “9PM PJs” by Yon (and everyone else) 53:38 – And onto the NEW Song(s) in 20 Minutes And that rounds out our episode.
