Audible has launched a new podcast, Baddiel and Ripley’s Buy Leave It Or Not. Hosted by multi-award-winning comedian, writer, broadcaster and podcaster David Baddiel (Jews Don’t Count, Trolls Not The Dolls, Social Media, Anger and Us) and award-winning author and BAFTA nominated actor Fay Ripley (Suspects, Reggie Perrin, Cold Feet, Dead Gorgeous).
In the new eight-part series old friends David and Fay get hands-on with a range of quirky products, spanning the useful, to the downright bizarre. Join the comedic duo and listen along as they unbox and review a host of crazy products from the internet and beyond you didn’t know you needed. From testing Full English Breakfast makers and neck massagers, to reviewing vagina candles and even wagyu steak… the pair leave no trending item on the online shelf and decide whether to quite literally buy, leave it or… not?
David Baddiel, host of Buy Leave It Or Not, said: “It’s easier than ever to buy stuff and as a result easier than ever to regret buying it. I have spent a lot of time in my life thinking ‘WTF did I buy that? If only there was a podcast that was mainly funny and entertaining but also safeguarded me from spending money on rubbish. That would be brilliant.’ Well, thanks heavens, there is one now. I had to make it myself with Fay Ripley but there’s always a price to pay for wisdom.”
Fay Ripley, host of Buy Leave It Or Not, said: “While at a crossroads in my life, I decided to focus on what makes me happy. With a long honest look in the mirror I realised that what makes me truly happy is SHOPPING. Shopping and Chatting. Having David Baddiel carry my bags is of course the special offer I was looking for. We are here to help you in the most unhelpful way. No need to thank us.”
Baddiel and Ripley’s Buy Leave It Or Not, an Audible Original, joins David’s inaugural sleep and wellness focused podcast Sleeping with David Baddiel (Guardian - pick of the week) in addition to a host of hilarious, critically acclaimed comedy content on Audible. Recent highlights include French & Saunders: Titting About (Red Online – “hilarious offering”), From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast (The Guardian – “a triumphant return”), Raj! (I News – “brilliantly funny”) and The Kurupt FM Podkast (winner of the Gold Comedy Podcast award at the 2020 & 2021 British Podcast Awards).
Buy Leave It Or Not, an Audible original podcast is available from 17th February (for Audible members or free with Audible’s 30-day trial) www.audible.co.uk/buyleaveitornot
