COMPETITION: MP3 player and Genius audiobook

The BBC are keeping on top of their excellent audiobook releases with this latest. Genius is the Radio 4 comedy series which sees Dave Gorman and a celebrity guest chew over the ridiculous, unworkable but sometimes genius inventions, schemes and policies of the public.

The show invites listeners to air those incredible concepts that strike you just before falling into a nice sleep or after one-too-many drinks at the pub – not necessarily ideas that are worthy or even very well thought through but those that have a hint of genius.

Trophy winning ideas have included helium filled bubble wrap to make parcels lighter and postage cheaper, breeding miniature elephants to be household pets, building lego prisons, a microwave/CD player that selects a tune of the right duration to go with the required cooking time and Tetris – the movie.

The second series of the show features guests Johnny Vegas, Carol Vorderman, Brian Sewell, Chris Addison, Sid Waddell, and Armando Iannucci.

Because we’re so awesome, and have even more awesome (awesomer?) friends, we have digitial copy of Genius: Series 2 to give away, along with a 1gb mp3 player on which you can store it and listen to it over and over again. How positively delightful!
