Rec. #795: Nobody Panic




What: The weekly podcast Nobody Panic is hosted by Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin, two-thirds of the brilliant sketch group Massive Dad. The podcast's tagline is "Your guidebook to being a fully functional adult without screaming all the time."

The tone is somehow both firmly tongue-in-cheek and reassuringly sincere. Plus, they're British! Everything sounds better coming from them.

Representative episodes:
"How to Stop Losing Things"
"How to Move to a New City"
"How to Act When Your Friend's Boyfriend Is Trash"

Representative quote:
"What's your adult thing [that you did this week]?"
"I'm beginning to explore the idea of wearing a silken turban to bed."

Connections to previous Wreckage: I saw Tessa Coates at Edinburgh last summer (Rec. #749) and she was so great. She's also gotten a development deal with Greg Daniels (executive producer of the US version of The Office). So, catch her now.
