Josh Widdicombe on Why Podcasts Help Comedians & Leaving London For Devon

Comedian Josh Widdicombe joins Romesh to explain why he might actually prefer podcasts to television.

They chat about his stand-up tour Not My Cup of Tea, appearing in more than 30 series of The Last Leg, and co-hosting the hugely successful Parenting Hell. Josh also talks about his move to Devon after being pushed out of London, rediscovering photography as a hobby, and launching his new series, Josh Widdicombe’s Museum of Pop Culture – covering everything from Mr Blobby to David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall.
