Eat The Pudding: A Simpsons Podcast

Episode 6: “The Gentle Caress Of A Summer Breeze”

Welcome to the Eat The Pudding fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the Simpsons universe in all its colourful and cromulent forms. This is the sixth episode: “The Gentle Caress Of A Summer Breeze”.

Back again after a brief, unscheduled absence, we dive into the new episode by exploring the complex character that is Martin Prince – a high-IQ nerd with a latent desire for mayhem and a dark, dark secret.

Michael’s monorail monomania comes very much to the fore later on in the show, in which the evergreen Marge Vs The Monorail episode is featured in both his season 4 pick and the Songs Of Springfield segment. We revisit our favourite moments, zone in on the many pop cultural references and uncover a hidden gem or two.

Life, as John Lennon once said, is what happens while you’re making other plans. So while we had intended to release a brand-new episode today, life had other plans.

We hope to resume normal service in a few weeks’ time but in the meantime here is a bonus episode about The Simpsons that we recorded for our old Blackadder podcast, Lord Of Adders Black.

In this extra-long bonus episode, we and our friend Tyler Adams from GoonPod have each come armed with five hand-picked classics from the purple-patch years and will be counting them down one by one to reveal our all-time favourites. With, needless to say, bants, clips, music and trivia aplenty!

So we hope you have fun listening to it too, stay safe and we’ll be back very soon.
