It’s been a while since we covered a podcast with a Latin angle or a Brazilian flavour. In fact my apologies go out to you as it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve covered any podcasts!

To make up for it I’ve found an absolute gem to proudly present to you this week. It’s all about Mr. Phipson’s Incredible Podcast this week!

The description goes like this: Sportive Baile Funked up jazzy audio joints. Berlin based Mr Phipson presents you an urban mixture of tunes from the past and future. Bossa Nova, Jazzed Up Beats, Electronica, Tropicalectro, Brazilian Beats, Tropicalia, Rare Grooves, Afro-Latinized Funk, Drums’n Breaks, Drum’n Bossa, Deep Beats, Baile Funk, Hippy Hoppy and other funky oddities.

From the good old times back in the days to the era of dual processor powered favela funk. The sound of shantytowns worldwide from underground to Roots Jazz and all the good things inbetween. Stay open minded, discover krazee urban soundtracks and tune in to Mr Phipson’s incredible Podcast!

Every week we post a flyer/ad for our Wednesday night live radio show, and we started to make these as tongue-in-cheek (i.e. stupid) as possible.

As we said, this is all tongue-in-cheek, and just done for a bit of a giggle (if you’re offended by any of them, please feel free to bugger off to a lentil-eating hippy commune somewhere, and leave the rest of us alone to swear and burp and make fun of stuff!!)
