From The Oasthouse, The Alan Partridge Podcast - Series 2. Steve Coogan

From The Oasthouse, the Alan Partridge podcast voiced by Steve Coogan, has won the Gold Award in the Comedy category at the British Podcast Awards.

The comic podcast, which is now in its third series, is distributed by Audible. The show's blurb explains: "Few humans in the history of civilisation have had a third series of their podcast commissioned. Fewer still have produced one that's actually any good. Partridge Gordon Alan, or Alan Gordon Partridge to write his name the correct way round, is one of them. Now as comfortable at the controls of a podcast as he is driving all cars and doing most swimming strokes, Alan returns with a series that whooshes and pinballs around the many areas (there are approximately nine) of his life and brain."
