After two years off (I mean, pretty much everything has had two years off<\/em>) the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has returned. It\u2019s time to empty our wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The podcast \u200b\u200b<\/strong>Nobody Panic<\/strong><\/a>, presented by Stevie Martin and Tessa Coates (behind the inspired named fringe show Get Your Tessa Coates You\u2019ve Pulled<\/em>) have released a survival guide episode to the Edinburgh Fringe. It\u2019s a worthwhile listen before you head up there. Tips include booking several shows (but having flexibility throughout the day in case you get dragged into something). Also, avoid the main Fringe guide and instead go for magazines like Fest, because they provide more in-depth reviews and profiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most handy tip I found from the episode is this: \u201cDo not stress that you\u2019re going to make mistakes because you simply will and that is part of the experience,\u201d says Tessa. \u201cYou just have to leap into it wholeheartedly and don\u2019t try and get this right<\/em>. It\u2019s just going to be whatever your Fringe show was this year. There is no right. There is no wrong. That’s the <\/em>magic [of it].\u201d The Nobody Panic <\/strong>are also recording a live episode of their podcast on the 19th and 21st August and tickets are on sale<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re not the only ones recording live podcast episodes. A number of famous podcasts (and podcasters) are releasing live episodes during the course of the Fringe and there\u2019s tickets out now if you want to be in the audience. These podcasts include Matt Forde\u2019s The Political Party<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(click the link to purchase tickets<\/a>), Richard Herring: RHLSTP<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(tickets<\/a>) and The Guilty Feminist<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(tickets<\/a>), My Seven Wonders with Clive Anderson<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(tickets<\/a>) and A Gay and a NonGay<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(tickets<\/a>). Iain Dale is also doing a special set of interview podcasts with politicians, from Ruth Davidson<\/a> to Jess Phillips<\/a>. There\u2019s also MenKind<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Live, with Michael Chakraverty and Mark Watson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
