From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast is returning for series four which will see him take on gardening with a real garden at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
After winning Gold for Best Comedy Podcast at the British Podcast Awards, Alan will be back with 11 episodes, offering his perspective on some of the smallest issues facing the nation today. Topics include stately homes, British porches, what life was like in 1994, the health of his assistant, and his return to modelling, to name a few.
Besides new hobbies and familiar ramblings, the new series takes a more serious turn as like many great men before him whose lives were lain waste by a single poor decision, he faces a criminal case that could alter the course of his life forever.
With a known love of the Norfolk countryside, Alan has also broken fresh ground – quite literally – as he delves into horticulture for the first time to promote the return of the new series.
The series includes an episode where Alan collaborates with award-winning Norfolk-based designers, Carey Garden Design Studio, as they bring to life a bold new venture – the creation of an Alan Partridge Sound Bath Garden, set to debut at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival this Summer.
Fans of Norfolk’s best loved broadcaster with a taste for horticultural excellence, will therefore be able to immerse themselves in the first-of-its-kind real-life garden from 1- 6 July at the garden festival.
Alan said: “As someone not poor enough to have ever lived in a flat, gardens have been a feature of my domestic life for decades.
“So I can think of nowhere I’d rather announce the new series of my podcast than here alongside the Royal Horticultural Society which – after the Royal Society, the RSPCA, the RSPB, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, the Royal Society of Ulster Architects, the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers, the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene and of course the Royal Society of St George – is arguably our most respected Royal Society.”
An Audible Original, From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast, series four, has been written by Steve Coogan, Neil Gibbons and Rob Gibbons and produced by Baby Cow for Audible.
The new series is available to pre-order now and launches exclusively on Audible at on 30 June. Membership may be required.
