Alan Partridge is set to return with a second series of From the Oasthouse in September.
There will be eleven new episodes from Audible which will come partly from the Oasthouse – in order to satisfy people who’d rather he didn’t mess with the format – and partly from other locations – to appeal to those who found the original format a bit limiting.
Each episode sees Alan record the most intimate details of his personal life, through a series of conversations and richly sound-designed audio vignettes. Alan says that after each recording “audio is sent directly to Audible to ensure it meets the technical specifications laid down in his contract.”
He added: “When it comes to podcasting I was a late adopter. I believed – like millions of others – that the future of broadcasting lay in hologram technology. Over a decade later and with Peartree Holograms now dissolved, I can see that I backed the wrong horse, just as I had with Betamax. Now, I have thrown my all into podcasting and am pleased to be considered one of finest podcasters of all time. My new series will cement that legacy.”
An Audible Original, From The Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast Series Two, is written by Steve Coogan, Rob and Neil Gibbons and produced by Baby Cow for Audible. Available to pre-order now, with the series launching in September exclusively on Audible at www.audible.co.uk/alanpartridgereturns.
