Howard Hughes

[wentokradio]

Possibly the nicest bloke to have ever presented a show on 'Talksport', he still has his ever-growing and highly fascinating (if at times ridiculous apropos guests) podcast on itunes and here:

Howard's had a bit of a crap year. Both his parents died and he had a thin patch, jobswise, in the middle of the year. He is the polar opposite of Gaunt in every fucking way possible and he deserves support.

I am a regular listener! It is fantastic stuff. I'm still catching up and have got as far as about #130. On one of the shows, he plays extracts from an old Talksport show, complete with Mediumwave crackle and warble. He refers to the station now and again but never by name. I have similar deep-seated issues on that front.

If memory serves, TS dumped The Unexplained for that harrowing Saturday night quiz thing with Rhodri whatever his name was.

Yes, a disgrace. Howard was too good for them - plus Howard, forever a Scouser and a gentleman, couldn't work for that reptile Kelvin McKenzie.

Think Brazil guzzling the bottles of urine Howard left around, was the last straw.

I preferred Talk Wrestling with Alex Shane.

to be honest i got really fed up with him banging on about that massive seaplane he was planning to build.

Mick Quinn, Alvin Martin, both could then? Take the dollars from Kelvin?

... Yes, apparently.

Howard Hughes seeking donations to expand his podcast brand. A possibly futile endeavour but, again, for all the ex-pressennah cnuts we blether about it might be nice to help one of the goodies. See http://www.theunexplained.tv for details.

I remember this thread and this is still often a brilliant show, certainly never boring. HH has been asking, on and off, for donations in the intros on his podcasts for about 3 years. He 'ffectively makes it as a hobby and I'd say it should get back onto Talksport but after one mood crippling plug for Matchday Live Norwich v West Ham I'd be longing for the podcast to return.
