Rob and Alex wade through their local news, to find the fun to absurd stories and the funny to disturbed comments from online readers! Excellent stuff.

Skip 2 the end

Found this searching for a new comedy and became hooked on episode one! Flows brilliantly and just gets funnier! Desperately trying to find local news to submit, however I don't think anything will come close to the hilarity Alex and Rob come up with! Keep it up chaps!

I am a relatively new listening to the local anaesthetic podcast and I have to say I'm already hooked. I have made my way through quite a large portion of their back catalogue and not been disappointed.

Alex and Rob make some brilliantly humorous observations about some of the week's funniest (and in many cases strangest) new stories found in the nation's local papers. Though these tales often leave you in stitches, the comment section are where the real magic happens. It seems some of the oddest members of our population congregate at the Bournemouth Echo comment section. It is quite something.

In addition, the podcast begins with a favourite spam email from the past week. Plenty of these have had me roaring too. So go check out this podcast. Just don't listen to on public transport. You will get some strange glances as you inevitably burst into laughter.
