Comedian, actor, singer and presenter Jayde Adams wants to hear about what’s riling up the neighbours around Britain to include in a new comedy podcast for BBC Radio 4.
In Welcome to the Neighbourhood, Jayde will be eavesdropping around the UK with a different guest each week. They’ll deep-dive into listeners’ submissions from the well-meaning, but often feisty world of community WhatsApp groups, message boards and apps. The quirks of the guests hometown, and its most iconic online beefs will also be discussed.
The podcast sifts through a hotbed of (largely unintentional) hilarity and discovers comedy gold concerned with graffiti-daubed wheelie bins, stray cats, e-scooters and more.
Jayde Adams says: “Whether in Bristol, the Big Smoke or beyond, you wouldn’t believe how much of a hot topic things can become between neighbours – raucous hot tub parties, garish garden gnomes, errant parking choices, the list goes on. Send in your most mind-boggling examples of virtual over-the-fence fallouts, we can’t wait to read them!”
If you’d like to contribute to the podcast, you can submit the funniest and freakiest posts to welcometotheneighbourhood@bbc.co.uk.
Welcome to the Neighbourhood with Jayde Adams launches Wednesday 29 June on BBC Sounds with new episodes weekly, also available on Radio 4, Wednesdays at 11.15pm.
