It is the season for democracy once again, and I don’t mean that charming American trillion-dollar deficit version of our gloriously imperfect system of governance – I mean ME!

Some bright spark has entered me for the European Podcast Awards. I don’t need the prize, obviously, but I do want the glory.

So, my virtual friends and neighbours please, help to get me to the top of whatever category they have inserted me just to assist an old man’s terribly frail ego.

Vote Cleese Now!

Oh, and get all your friends to do the same. Thank you!

Not that I am any of these things, of course, but being in the month of August means that BBC Radio 4 have given me the honour (spelled with a “u”) of allowing me to waffle on about my favourite (spelled with a “u”) websites. My bit is about ten minutes in, but the entire show is worth a listen.

Click to play the programme, or download the iPM podcast here from the BBC. It will be available for the next week or so.
