Man of Letters

About Man of Letters

Enter the gloriously unhinged world of Mike Kennedy — yes, that Mike Kennedy, the man behind the Retro Breakfast Quiz Show and the only human alive who can make a toaster warranty call sound like Shakespearean comedy. Step into a universe where logic takes a holiday, customer service reps question their life choices, and you… well, you’ll be laughing so hard you’ll forget where you put your tea (until you accidentally sit on it). For nearly a decade, Mike has been dialing up chaos with a level of commitment usually reserved for Olympic athletes and people who argue with parking meters. His legendary telephone wind-ups have left a trail of bewildered call‑centre workers, confused managers, and at least one person who genuinely believed they were speaking to a man trying to return a live goat to a supermarket. This podcast isn’t just unique — it’s a full‑blown comedic expedition. You’ll encounter bizarre scenarios, outrageous characters, and moments so unbelievable you’ll wonder if reality has taken a day off. It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh, cringe, wheeze, and occasionally question humanity, all in the best possible way. If you’re ready for a rollercoaster of ridiculousness, buckle up. Mike Kennedy is waiting, phone in hand, chaos in mind, and absolutely no intention of behaving sensibly.

   Amazon Adventures 3

   Episode 29 :: Amazon Adventures 3 – Yes! There’s More!! Mike returns to Amazon’s customer service line like a man who has learned nothing and fears nothing.

   Family Matters

   Episode 35 :: Family Matters Part I Not your wholesome, heart‑warming, “gather round the table and pass the potatoes” kind of family. No. This is the kind of family drama that makes soap operas look like meditation retreats. Mike dives head‑first into a domestic situation so tangled it requires a flowchart, a mediator, and possibly a priest. Expect emotional whiplash, unsolicited advice, and at least one relative who definitely shouldn’t be allowed near a phone.

   Hotel Hell

   Episode 34 :: Hotel Hell Mike and I have stayed in some questionable hotels, but these places redefine “hospitality” in the same way a haunted house redefines “open plan living”. Think flickering lights, carpets with mysterious stains, and a receptionist who looks like they haven’t slept since 1998. Mike attempts to complain, but the hotel’s customer service philosophy appears to be “deny everything and offer a mint”.
