It's one of the few places that music is discussed as if it wasn't invented last week but were new stuff is enthused about as much as some jug band tune from 1923. I genuinely enjoy listening to the cast on my way home from work on a friday and miss it when they are on holiday.

Can we get back to slagging off coldplay now

And I, for one, will never get the image of a score of naked parachutists being pounced on as they land by the excited guests of an Elton John dinner party out of my mind...

Makes even the M25 at 6.30 on Wednesday morning something to look forward to.

If it was any groovier you could dance to it!

The podcast for the head, heart and hips ....

You never know what worlds or eras await you when you open the doors.

Nonsensically essential

Stopping middle aged men from contributing to lists and moaning about how it was all better in them olden days for about 45 minutes once a fortnight.

Making uncomfortable public transport journeys bearable since 2007

Word: for discerning people who like to poke a stick at Van Morrison.

The Word: Best use of anal cleft. Ever. (Ummm, mebbe not)

It's a podcast not a plodcast!

Better than 6music, Radio 1 and Radio 2 combined!

A bunch of middle aged geezers yakking about stuff but not being boring?

Hoary Old Rock Andecotalists...

I'm not sure I have a facility for this. I may return to moaning about dumb stuff in entertainment....

A holiday for the ears

I'm not suggesting a new tagline until I finally receive the cheque for the old one ("one of the few things you really need in life").

1. Putting the world to rights so you don't have to.

2. One of life's certainties.

3. At last: something to hear.

I subscribe to a few podcasts, but the Word one is the only one I actually make the effort to listen too;Usually on a Sunday night into Monday morning, it helps take away those back to work blues after the weekend. A few one liners:

"Like some Bob Dylan albums, worth perservering with"

"Has matured gracefully into something quite special, always interesting always inspiring, presented by nice sounding people who sound like they're having a ball every week"

"Sometimes gives you a warm glow, like a fisherman tucking into a beef hot pot, after a chilling wind swept night on the North Sea"

"Keep the criminal fraternity of young Islington off the streets, tell them to tune into the Word Podcast every week"

"The best podcast never to have been on the radio"

"Some of it's delightful nonsense, but should be made available on perscription to tinnitus sufferers the world over"

The sound of old Islington.
Other podcasts are available...but they`re rubbish.
Making DIY bearable every week.

Crack open a bottle of red and settle in for a great night of music related chat at the kitchen table with your mates.... and you dont even have to sling em out afterwards. The Word Podcast you know it makes sense.

'The Word podcast... erudition and ephemera in equal measure.'

A Word in your ear

the Chas n' Dave of music publishing, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit...

Auditors for your ears.

..you don't mind having.
2/ Geezers chatting..it's the new rock n' roll.
3/ Unbelievably, it's unscripted!

The Word podcast - bridging the gap between high culture and total bollocks.

The podcast with the odd cast

"It's not shit."

"We'll listen to anything... even your adverts."

Nothing else makes me laugh like a hyena to tales of quadrophonic stereos whilst my wife looks on baffled.

Hmm...

Might need a bit of work that one...

"The listeners have promised to consider buying your product/service in exchange for guaranteeing it continuing."

I listened to the latest podcast and the 2 recent Backstage ones last night and it was the best possible entertainment available to me. I feel so grateful to have access to it - guaranteed to make me laugh out loud and provoke thoughts.

Like the greatest conversation you think you remember once having in the pub, although of course in reality the podcast is much better than that

So much of TV and radio is laboured over far more and yet is nothing like as enjoyable as the Word podcast

I listen to most Podcasts whilst doing household tasks (washing up etc), whilst I sit down without distraction to enjoy a Podcast from The Word.

Essentially true.

Synchronising yesterday's sounds for tomorrow today.

Believe it or not, there are podcasts that don't suck.

" The Word Pocast ". The Dog Don´t Get No Walk Without It

The Word podcast - full of more good cheer than Van Morrison filling out his tax return.

Word - more topics to debate now that the Wire's ended

As much fun as the Pogues with teeth?

The Word podcast - cheerfully chipping away at the coalface of culture.

I'm addicted to Word

"Our podcast is as good as our Word".
