Podcast review: Dara Ó Briain’s Timewasters is relatable, funny and surprising
Dara Ó Briain’s Timewasters: two comedians compete for the title of biggest timewaster over the course of three rounds slotted into a compact half hour or so.
The point is, whatever your own personal brand of timewasting, as long as you are human and therefore have at least a passing familiarity with the whole temps perdu concept, the brand newis 100 per cent relatable. Also funny. And somehow, surprising as it sounds, kind. Here’s the premise: two comedians compete for the title of biggest timewaster over the course of three rounds slotted into a compact half hour or so. In the first, they must deliver a story of tiny time wastes, where seconds or minutes were lost on futility of some sort. In the second, the stakes increase to hours or days wasted, while the final round homes in on that exercise in futility that has gobbled up months or years of the contestant’s life.
