Richard Duncan is President of the US. God Help Us All!

OK, so time for my next missive on the wonderful world of Audio Drama.

A big fan of comedy in all it's forms and particularly political comedy (the likes of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister to give you a taste), when I stumbled upon The Administration by Misfits Audio (https://misfitsaudio.com/comments/archives/category/the-administration) I thought I'd died and found Heaven.

Very funny and whittily written, The Administration takes a peek into a surreal world where Richard Duncan is President of the US, a man who makes George 'W' look like a mental heavyweight but loves his teddy.  His long suffering Chief of Staff Mergatroid tries in vein to keep this Presidency on the true road to re-election while the First Lady chases everything in trousers!  A level of dacorium is brought to each episode by the composed Narrator who could teach the NSA a thing or two about watching from the sidelines.

OK, so some of the storylines can get a little bit racey, especially with Mrs Duncan's, erm, tastes, but nothing you couldn't enjoy with the Vicar.

OK, the lowdown:

Going since when?

The first episode (according to the website) was published in 2011

How many series?

Currently on episode 9

Can I just listen to one episode in isolation?

Yes, but you'll want to hear the rest - believe me!

The verdict?

Very funny, very well written, well worth listening to.  Enjoy
