Holiday Jokes

Episode 15 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.

Listen as I read a selection of Holiday Jokes from the Readers Digest website. All read in my Scottish accent.

The internet is full of "hilarious" jokes and stories. I've once again managed to find a site that is devoid of them. Despite the title of the article.

I don't proof read the article, song lyrics or anything I pick to read before recording. Every episode is recorded in one sitting. No pauses. No edits. If I make a mistake in pronunciation it stays in there. If something makes me laugh it stays in there. If something makes me exasperated it stays in there (this can happen often). If people spell things incorrectly or use incorrect grammar it stays in there.

One day I'll have enough money to buy a decent microphone.

New episodes released every Tuesday (they might take a few extra days to reach your podcast listening platform of choice).

Thanks for listening.

Al Roosten by George Saunders

Episode 14 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.

Listen as I read George Saunders short story, Al Roosten from the Short Stories website. All read in my Scottish accent.

Please be warned that there is some slight homophobic connotations in this story. I just pick things at random to read. No proof reading first.

I don't fully understand George's story but, despite some of my reservations during the recording, I fully commend him for putting it out there. Art is a difficult thing to hand over to others for their consumption.

100 Funny Things to Say

Episode 13 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.

Listen as I read from the Parade.com article 100 Funny Things to Say. All read in my Scottish accent.

Humour is subjective. I'm not gonna lie, reading this one started to annoy me. I can hardly contain my disdain and confusion.

Please be aware that the article, and therefore this episode, does contain "jokes" of a sexist nature. I definitely need to have the word "joke" in inverted commas as they are truly awful.

Recorded in one sitting. No pauses. No edits. If I make a mistake in pronunciation it stays in there. If something makes me laugh it stays in there. If people spell things incorrectly or use incorrect grammar it stays in there.

ChatGPT - at this moment in time English teachers have nothing to fear if students use ChatGPT when trying to write creative writing assignments. As you'll soon hear.

Listen as I read out the short story Angus and Astrid: Friendship in my "sexy" Scottish brogue.. Written using the new AI writing tool ChatGPT.

I'd like to say that i put in just a few prompts and suggestions and this is what it generated but in truth I spent way too much time trying to get it to tweak it and finesse it yet this is what i ended up with.

I'd say please enjoy but that might be difficult.

I can't help but laugh at some of what has been generated.

Episode 12 of the Do You Comma Here Often Podcast.

Listen as I read around half of the 62+ jokes about waiting from UPJOKE.com. All read in my Scottish accent.

Humour is subjective. Also, it would appear that when reading these jokes that grammar is also optional. Who knew?
