In character, Alan Partridge released a statement on what to expect from the Audible-exclusive podcast.
“Like most people, I assumed those who hosted podcasts were pale, tech-obsessed social lepers who live with their mums and couldn’t get a platform on any meaningful broadcaster so started spouting their bloated opinions into their USB microphones to flatter their groaning sense of self-importance,” he said.
“But then I spoke to a man I’d never heard of before from Audible. HE called ME and made me an offer. I countered. He came back. I countered again. In short, we hammered out the details (to my satisfaction) and the result is a series of podcasts. They’ve been described as very good/sensational.”

The series is available to pre-order now â free for Audible members â with a scheduled release due for Thursday September 3.
Reviewing Partridge’s latest outing, This Time With Alan Partridge, NME said in a five-star review: “Alan Partridge might have left the BBC under a cloud of shame, but his return is the complete opposite.
“Itâs a slice of comedic gold and an early contender for the funniest show of the year. Back of the net.”
