Audio Comedy Bronze
It's like Christmas. In a magical treehouse. With talking kittens! Join Danny Davies on an unnecessary yomp through the weirder hinterlands of the audiosphere, via the medium of daft voices and off-colour remarks about famous people. There may be a quiz at the end. So pay attention! Featuring infrequent appearances by Michael Parkinson, some Daleks getting excited, 70's BBC continuity announcers and the like. Apart from Series 2. Where there's different stuff going on. Basically, it's 'Justin's House' off Cbeebies, with dalek voices and the odd psuedo-metaphysical "joke". Follow @dannydavies23 on the Twitters, or find A Disappointment on Facebook, or SoundCloud, or Tumblr. Probs.

A Disappointment - 2010 Special - 'GhostProd'
- Join Veteran Broadcaster Michael Parkinson in a Unique Broadcasting Experiment / Excuse for Arbitrary and Unwarranted Capitalisation. An unassuming, mid terrace house in Cambridge, currently rented by Internet Bantamweight / Pretend Funnyman Danny Davies, harbours something uncanny, and unstoppable. Parky, with the help of Professor Jane Walsh (and the no-help of Celebrity Psychic Devlin Monteith) attempts, with super-sharp, shit-hot science and that, to unravel the mystery of 'Douglas'. We also meet a ghost hunter with an unsavoury USP, and Patrick Dempsey with his unusual van. All this and listeners 100% true-life tales of the Ghostly and the Supernatural add up to an audio experience so absolutely terrifying that the BBC never even commissioned it, let alone repeated it. But be warned. There may be something loose among the 1s and 0s...
Stick around after the credits too, even though you'll probably have shit yourself to bits by then for... A New Thing :D
Blab all you want at @dannydavies23 on The Twitters (no bomb threats mind, I'm too pretty for jail...) or at the Facebook group! Or up a tree.

A Disappointment - S1 Ep 6 - 'Oystery Hell'
Well. Here we are. Episode 6. The final episode. Of six episodes. And what happens in this episode, I hear you ask? Erm. Well. This episode kind of shouldn't be happening. Danny's Wells Cathedral that he contracted back in ep 5 has gone full blown and we're in a vaguely Life on Mars sitch. There's Bob Dylan, a lost interview with John Lennon, and the terrible end of the History Theatre Workshop. Oh and The TARDIS Pantry Podcast. That's new... Yes...
Features an extract from Bartok's Sonata for violin and piano No. 1 in C-sharp minor, Op. 21 taken from the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum collection. http://traffic.libsyn.com/gardnermuseum/bartok_no1.mp3
This episode, and the series as a whole, is dedicated to the memory of Tia L Brink, a very, very good friend of the show who passed away in August of this year. She'll be sorely missed
