This is NOT a Podcast - available to subscribers and supporters
This is NOT a Podcast, episodes 428 and 429, are now out and available to supporters and subscribers of my audio work. A look at the minutiae of life, my writing and regular bulletins on life as a comedian on the stand up comedy circuit, THE café, hygiene fails (plenty of those in south London) and more.
You can listen via any of the platforms below.
When Shorts Were Short S3 E5 Barrie Tomlinson (Roy of the Rovers editor) chooses his all-time Comic Book Footballers X1
When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.
If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.
In the first of two festive specials, this week’s guest is legendary comics editor Barrie Tomlinson, last on in Christmas 2020. Barrie enjoyed a long and illustrious career at Fleetway, initially as a writer. He worked as a sub-editor on Lion before becoming editor of Tiger in 1969 and then famously launching Roy of the Rovers in his own standalone and hugely successful title in 1976. Of course Barrie has worked many more titles than that, including the Daily Mirror football strip Scorer on which he spent 22 long years.
I asked Barrie if he fancied choosing his All-Time Comic Book Footballing X1, a traditional 1-11, no squad numbers and names on shirts, and only two subs allowed, something only introduced at the start of the 1987-88 season.

Pictures from last night’s enjoyable Chuckle Deli gig. There were several dogs in the audience, including one heavy-breathing pug. Going up on stage in the dark, I buckled over one of the small dogs and almost ended up on the floor. That aside, a fun night.

This is NOT a podcast
I am currently trialling a rebooted Patreon for regular audio dispatchesm available exclusively to Patreon supporters. This is NOT a podcast and I will not be promoting it on podcast platforms as based on 12-13 years of doing this, it’s very difficult for indie creators now to get any traction with their audio work. If it doesn’t work, I can just quietly shut this down and move on.
If you want to listen to the show, you can support the rebooted page @ patreon.com/danielruiztizon
Thank you for your support.

Hello everyone, in the words of New Order’s most underrated track, Sooner Than You Think, ‘It’s nice to be here’ .
Just a brief December update.
Find my latest stand up gigs list here
My annual daily podcast advent calendar, recorded in 2014, Daniel Ruiz Tizon’s Advent Calendar can be found at HoldfastNetwork. I post links to the latest episode every morning on my socials, so look out for those. I’d encourage you not to binge listen. I recorded the show with the idea listeners would commit to the slow-burning show daily and the episodes were kept deliberately short.
