Mike Prowse Solo Travel Comedy
COMEDY. Solo Travel Expert. I recently teamed up with I DON'T LIKE YOUR TIE for a very special investigation.

The last British, large-scale infrastructure project which came in on time and under budget was Stonehenge.
That's why I've been investigating CROSSRAIL - with SHOCKING revelations about a project that's overdue, overspent, and over there.
Expect INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM from me, and STRONG DRUG REFERENCES.
(To be clear, the drugs are strong, not the references.)

Come with me as i descend into a dank world of competitive boffins and petty point scoring.
A normal night of curating my "fun" quiz leads to danger as I'm inducted into the shadowy world of ILLEGAL QUIZZES.
It's like The Chase but I'm all the chasers and one contestant combined.

Do you believe in ghosts?
I'm the solo travel expert Mike Prowse and I was pretty sure I didn't. But a night in one of Britain's most haunted hotels forces me to a definitive conclusion.
This podcasts contains some scary moments, mild peril, strong peril, an undead fight scene, and multiple references to Yvette Fielding.
It's not suitable for those under 18, not suitable for the very elderly, a bit risky if you're over 45, but l...

We all love a good murder mystery. And we all love it when two murder mystery plays enter an all-out decades-long tit-for-tat WAR.
In this episode I'm reporting from the battleground of the West End of London, where two venerable plays have been locked in conflict to decide the longest running play in theatreland.
Expect the true history of The Mousetrap, and the surprisingly gripping reality of it's long-time rival THE COMPLICAT...

A few years ago, in the town of Blabwyn, something happened.
A travel podcasting colleague, who was, like me, there at the very inception of the art form, disappeared.
What happened to her? Did she visit the monument? The strange indescribable stretch, or puddle, of water? Or did she stay longer than she expected in the cafe?
It's hard to tell. Because Blabwyn is the Everest of travel podcasting... nothing happens there.
Come wi...

I receive a job offer...
Accepting this offer sets me on a Shakespearean odyssey, a strange journey of tantalising opportunities, promises that can't possibly be kept and of strange portents. I also have a fight by a river.
It's a podcast that sets one man's raging ambition against the remorseless wheel of fate, as he battles to achieve his ultimate goal of earning a relatively easy £400 quid.

As pop's Katie Perry returns to earth, I return to JOURNALISM.
That's because I've been invited to the Texas rocket lair of Silicon Valley tech man turned rocket wrangler RICKY PANDERMAN. Granted the shortest interview slot in history, I set out to uncover the motivation behind entrepreneurs Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's obsession with space. But i uncover something MUCH DARKER.
In this episode I take a balanced impartial look at ...

During a crucial session in June 1962 George Harrison made a joke about George Martin's tie. It gave the EMI man a hint of the cheekily approachable sass which would beguile the world. And now - Marc Moss-Jones and Kevin Core's book about this epochal moment has landed on my welcome mat. I Don't Like Your Tie is a trip into the world of the joke that made The Beatles.
But SOMEONE has to go further. Someone needs to check out wher...
