Beef And Dairy Network Podcast is a monthly comedy podcast, which began in July 2015. It is produced by comedian Benjamin Partridge who plays the host of a fictional industry podcast for the beef and dairy industries.[1]

In 2016, the podcast joined the Maximum Fun podcast network.[2]

In 2017 and 2018, ten episodes were acquired for broadcast by BBC Radio 4, which was notable as the first time that the station had bought the repeat rights for an existing podcast.[3]

Format

It describes itself as “the number one podcast for those involved, or just interested, in the production of beef animals and dairy herds”[4] and consists of fictional interviews, spoof adverts, fictional letters from listeners, and documentary features.[3] The style is surrealist comedy played straight.[5]

Guests

Partridge is joined by different guests each week, playing various characters from the beef and dairy industries. Guests have included Greg Davies, Josie Long, Andy Daly, Kevin Eldon and Katy Wix.[6]

Reception

The Guardian named it one of top 50 the best podcasts of 2016.[1]

The Observer wrote "This is a lovely, funny show."[7], The Daily Telegraph wrote "It’s the ramrod straight delivery that makes The Beef and Dairy Network Podcast by far the best audio comedy around"[4], and the A.V. Club wrote "When dealing with the absurd, few things help heighten comedy quite like commitment, something that Beef And Dairy does better than most."[8]

The podcast won Best Comedy at the British Podcast Awards in 2017[9] and 2018.[10]
