Frank Skinner

Mr. Frank Skinner, sans hooded top.
Mr. Frank Skinner, sans hooded top.

Ah Mr. Frank Skinner… A weekly Saturday morning radio show from Absolute Radio in the UK. Like many it has the music, ads and news removed to deliver the pure show content.  Frank is usually accompanied by two co-presenters, Emily (I was in the Triffids) Dean and Alun (Doesn’t look like he sounds) Cochrane.  They talk about seemingly whatever they like and it’s usually something quite unexpected, Peter the Wild Boy anyone? It has a particulary British tone and is full of puns which is probably why I like it so much.  Now get out. Podcast Page – updated every Saturday
