Award winning comedian and poet Rob Auton launches The Rob Auton Daily Podcast on the 1st January 2020. Episodes from the podcast produced by Ben Williams for Plosive Productions (Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Audible Live), will be released for 366 consecutive days of the leap year.
Rob Auton said: “I will be reading out writing I’ve written that I like enough to want to share with people who are not me. Words that could be associated with the podcast are: short, stories, comedy, literature, poetry, Yorkshire, accent. On average an episode will last for three minutes.”
Listeners can subscribe to the podcast and hear the trailer on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Acast and all major podcast platforms now. You can follow the podcast on Twitter and Instagram
Following a critically-acclaimed and sold-out run including extra shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Rob will also embark on his biggest tour to date in 2020.

Rob has built a cult Fringe following for his shows exploring the colour yellow, the sky, faces, water, sleep, hair and talking, which was the second best reviewed 2018 Edinburgh Fringe show. He was most recently on our screens in The End of the F***ing World (Ch4/Netflix), adding to broadcast credits including The Russell Howard Hour (Sky One), Stand-Up Central With Rob Delaney (Comedy Central), Cold Feet (ITV), Random Acts (Ch4), The Sara Cox Show (BBC Radio 2), The Jonathan Ross Show (BBC Radio 2) and Afternoon Edition (BBC Radio 5 Live).
