Wood Wehn In The Membrane
Where Eastenders meets Radio Four. Or should that be Radio Vier? This brand new podcast sees Eastenders star and all-round good egg JAKE WOOD team up with his old mate, The German Comedy Ambassador HENNING WEHN to tackle a different subject every week.
JAKE "I met Henning when he first got on the UK comedy circuit. Back then he barely spoke any English. Mind you, not much has changed on that front."
HENNING "Jake is one of my oldest mates in Britain. It's a great honour to introduce him to more highbrow audience."
