The YoGPoD: A podcast guaranteed to make you crack up.
More delicious than Tina Barrett with a mouthful of jaffa cakes.
The YoGPoD is a comic podcast created by Lewis and Simon ( aka Zephos and Honeydew as they're known in the MMORPG game they play ), with enough great comic timing, utter nonsense, weird dialogue, and amazing fun to get this Hubber hooked!
The YoGPoD is basically a podcast that talks about... well nothing! It's just two British guys, talking via the internet about a wide variety of subjects, both intellectually advanced and totally idiotic. Simon and Lewis started off by making "How To" videos on Youtube about how to defeat bosses in their favorite videogame, World of Warcraft. The problem with their videos was that they epicly failed each time in their encounters and/or used the wrong tactics. Whilst showing how a certain boss fight went, they would both talk to each other about stuff that had nothing to do with the game. After realising they were quite a hit, they created their very own podcast, which currently has one of the most faithful fan bases ever.
The subjects they discuss on "The YogPoD" vary. Certain times they talk about an almost unknown celebrity they stalk and harass over the internet, Tina Barrett, a former member of the band S-Club 7 ( Trust me, I had no idea who she was either...), whom they continuously regard as the most voluptuous woman on earth, until they actually hear one of her songs and... well... decide she actually isn't all that.
At other times, Simon takes the role of numerous people, perfectly capturing that person's accent and replicates them. Some of these characters include Her Royal Highness the Queen, Lionel Richie, Patrick Stewart, an oriental virtual currency farmer, and many others.
Sometimes they tell stories about jumping electric fences and getting fried, having their underwear come off while walking down the street, or being in the Cadettes and taking special pills to cause constipation.
And last but definitely not least, they talk about that oh so scrumptious orangey treat, the Jaffa Cake! They praise this wonderfully delicious treat as if it were the gods' ambrosia. Several conversations regarding the cake-like biscuit have occured, all of which get you giggling.
Behind the stars of the show though hide several other people that contribute to the YoGPoD, and help make the YoGPoD the awesome podcast it is today! Some of these people include Hannah, who has her own cooking segment in the show and often gives a little woman's touch to the show, Yohimitsun, their goofy weed-smokin' pal from Holland who comments on the show once in a while, Vyrian, who has her own film review segment on the show, and Captain Rhythym, who supplies the jingles for the YoGPoD which they use for their segments and the commencement of the show.
Where it all began...
Currently they've put up over 20 podcasts on their site (www.yogscast.com), and still keep at it. Each of their podcasts are 20 to 60 minutes long and are always guaranteed to provide oodles of laughter. They recently re-did their site, so it might be missing some stuff, but don't get discouraged, they'll probably have it fully stocked and loaded in no time! You can also download their podcasts at Podcastalley where they're all available for download. For more information regarding the geniuses behind this podcast, visit the "about" page on their site.

The best part of this review, after getting the Yogpod spot on, was the adverts by Amazon at the bottom trying to sell me Jaffa Cakes.
